    trump not only being on the right side of thing

    …How did you watch that and come to that conclusion? What he’s proposing is straight-up fascism: let the gov’t do whatever the fuck it wants–or whatever Trump wants–and ignore rule of law. That’s the way he tried to run the entire presidency, and that should terrify everyone that believes in democracy. Or a democratic republic, if you want to be pedantic. Like, seriously, try applying that chain of thought to literally any other right; would you still say that he was on the right side of things?

      I mean willing to remove assault weapons. I honestly don’t care how they are removed, the faster the better. Unless you support following strict process over the lives of people, I don’t see a problem with that.

        He wasn’t saying that he had a willingness or desire to remove assault weapons. He was talking about disarming people that he didn’t like. Or that law enforcement didn’t like.

        And I, personally, have a huge problem with eliminating civil rights, even when you have a majority of people voting to do so.
