Good on you!
Recall last summer...the statists held a rally and some dude drove through protesters, killing one of them. The media et al turned that into a "see? They're all Nazis and all we want to do is give peace a chance" Hallmark moment. Trump then came out and noted the "peace" people were full of hate and Antifa. The media went double-ballistic and we had a summer of Antifa and antiAntifa clashes...CNN and other loser outlets used all that to paint Normal Americans as Nazis.
It didn't completely work. Ultimately, the economy took off, Trump defended American interests, NK isn't launching misses, and Trump's reported approval ratings are now taking off. However, some of that agitprop stuck.
The left knows they can't win so they are looking to provoke us again. They know they're outgunned and they would LOVE to see a bunch of Deplorables gun down Antifa or MS-13 in self-defense so they can endeavor to sway public opinion against us.
Clearly self-defense is not to be eschewed...bad guys coming to harm me or family or loved ones beware. But for now, I'm going to let the statists continue hyperventilating and protesting and call us names. I know they know the name calling isn't working and they're losing and MAGA is working for Americans of all shapes and colors and sizes. I'd recommend keeping powder dry and let the Trump Train roll; to give them the equivalent of a Reichstag fire for their side that they so desperately want isn't, in my view, a wise thing.
