Do not forget: The Democrat Party is—and has always been—the Party of HATE, VIOLENCE, AND EVIL!

Be prepared for the hysterical 24/7 reporting on CNN et al when a Republican victim finally strikes back.

The Rats and the networks are eagerly anticipating that. Praying for it.

Been going on 20 years now. Beatdowns at school of kids who’s parents voted for Bush. Swastika graffiti and arson attacks on Republican homes. Slashed tires on Republican ‘get out the vote vans’ on election day, power outages on campaign offices on election day, smashed windows on Republican campaign offices, undercover reporters embedding inside Republican campaigns...

But it is turning into a daily occurrence. There’s a bunch of us who carry. Eventually it is gonna happen. I imagine they are counting on it.

Wait! What? The media told me it was white, conservative, god fearing, nationalists that were causing terror. Now that’s changed? I’m running for my safe space, has anyone seen my blankie?

It’s because liberals have the emotional control and maturity of a three-year-old.

I’m good with winning at the voting booth.

What should be and what is are two different things.

You SHOULD be able to walk any neighborhood in the US without fear of getting robbed or even killed, even at 4am.

But that’s not reality.

You SHOULD be able to wear Trump paraphernalia anywhere, even in states where he’s not liked, without having to be concerned about getting assaulted.

I don’t see a compelling enough reason to risk being injured or worse for wearing a MAGA hat or pin or shirt.

I’m not a coward and it doesn’t bother me if people think I am.

If I saw someone getting assaulted, I would certainly come to their aid.

But life’s got enough troubles with me sustaining brain damage over such a thing.

I just want 4 more years of Trump.

That being said, any attack on Rs should be met with harsh consequences, hopefully by the person attacked.

I don’t have much trust in the criminal punishment system

keep handing them shovels to dig their own graves.
The more we stay on message, and let them become unhinged, the more people we bring to the cause: Defeat democrats.

Impossible. The only voter intimidation and vote suppression is of black Democrats. Everyone in the media knows this fact.

Most states have no laws about guns in polling places.

“... There’s a bunch of us who carry....”

ALL of us should be carrying, no matter where we are.

And also teaching other folks how to defend themselves as well.

Every gun-wise folk out here should be doing a “Take A Rookie to The Range” event.

As an Instructor, it’s very rewarding to watch and be a part of.

You're right. The Democrat Party: The Party of infanticide, lynching, the ku klux klan, antifa, and threats of assassination against the President of the United States of America

The Democrat Party: The Party of HATE, VIOLENCE, EVIL, and DEATH!
