NPR Interviews author of recent Atlantic article re Oath Keepers

Read it in the magazine or better find the podcast. Will make your skin crawl. These guys are ready to start putting down as they see it a "insurrection " by BLM, antifa and general public protesters.

Have been praying for divine intervention

With increasing numbers of senators testing positive, the orange one in the hospital. Maybe just maybe we can get through the next few weeks without SCJ being seated.

In talking with people in the gun culture they assume I'm one of them. I guess I look the part with the covid buzz cut. But the stuff that they spout off about so freely is really revealing. Scary, reaffirmation that perhaps I made the right decision.

Is anyone else rethinking their stance on firearms?


Post script
I'd like to thank everyone for the thought provoking responses.

Some folks understood the point i was raising, some just reacted without much thought. Was expecting to get flamed, wasn't as bad as i expected.

Stay safe

Cleaning out a household and found a mac. Dot matrix printer, cpu no keyboard. Manual dated 1983.

Is there a market for this? Hate to toss it. Not into old electronics.

Wonder what Hunter S Thompson would have to say?

Became aware reading HST in rolling stone during the 72 campaign. Always had an astute opinion on the political scene. Could cut through the bullshit like a knife.

While the most important thing is to vote Drump out

We really need to focus on keeping the house and taking the Senate. Remove his enablers and hamstring his administration should he god forbid get reelected.
Starting with Moscow Mitch.

Republicans are afraid

They are afraid of standing against the president. They are afraid of his base.
They are more than willing to follow Brutus with their knives if its a secret ballot to remove him from office.
