Walking down the midway at the State Fair in Minot, I encountered a young man wearing a T-shirt that said “I clean my guns with the tears of triggered liberals.” I looked up that phrase on the internet and found websites selling apparel with those words. I was surprised at the juvenile nature of hateful printed slogans. I have continued to give thought to why someone would actually find it pleasurable to make people cry.
I concluded that calling a person a “liberal” entitles the speaker to say hateful things. Like vicious cutting remarks followed by “bless her heart.” The term liberal is an all encompassing phrase used by people who don’t like certain personal characteristics.
Sensitive people are disliked because they consider other people’s feelings. They demonstrate sensitivity to others, and in the mind of the critic, take money from working people and give it to others who don’t work. These sensitive people are hard to manage because they ask questions and worry about other people when it is none of their business.
Intelligent people are disliked because they challenge conventional wisdom. They quote things they have read and speak with confidence about technical issues they have studied. Who would have time for such stuff? These intelligent people find meaning in weird stuff and probably look down on not so intelligent people. They overthink everything. They are annoying. Let’s just call them “liberals.”
Compassionate people are disliked and called liberal because they care too much about too many things. Liberals care about animals, the environment, migrants, even other countries. These “liberal folks need to let things go and just worry about their own folks. No need to get all worked up about suffering people, people have always suffered."
In my encounter with the young man at the fair, I was surprised at my initial reaction. I am guessing this young man wore this shirt as a taunt. He was taunting people who reacted with alarm (triggered) to key phrases or thoughts. By saying “I clean my guns with the tears of triggered liberals," he is attempting to trigger a reaction. It worked on me. I am angry about senseless deaths due to gun violence. Innocent people killed because guns are in the hands of people who should never have them.
It is true people cry about those deaths. Those are not liberal or conservative tears. Taunting a group of people who want to spare the lives of the innocent by metaphorically cleaning your gun with their tears is beyond juvenile. It suggests the wearer of that shirt thinks his guns are more important than those lives.
I wanted to ask the T-shirt wearer “is there anything so precious to him that if he lost it he would cry?” Does he have parents, a friend, wife, children, pets, that if he lost them he would cry? Would he want his tears to clean the instrument that took away the things he loved?
I realized taunting people with slogans is a cover. It is like the kid who doesn’t know the answer in class and is afraid of being called stupid, saying something he hopes is funny enough to distract the class and make him appear clever.
Compassionate, sensitive and intelligent people actually care about the people spitting names at them. They are the people who actually work for a better life for the people taunting them. If and when conservatives cry from tragic loss, the people they have been taunting will stand with them. That is what liberals have always done.
No, it suggests that his ownership of his guns is more important than the self-righteous outrage of leftists who wish to infringe on his 2A rights.

And the author of this meltdown is a whiny, entitled, easily triggered liberal.
What a crybaby.
And they dox these people. And get them fired. And throw their kids out of school or force the children to learn about fisting and other sexual acts. So compassionate, sensitive and intelligent! So open minded that their brains fell out.
Liberals aren’t liberals. Our Founding Fathers were liberals. These people are Stalinazi totalitarians who hate God and think they know better than Him. Nothing intelligent or sensitive (in the positive sense of the word, AKA compassionate) about them. Quite ignorant and have the emotional capacity of toddlers when corrected on the facts. Often react violently when their cognitive dissonance worldview is threatened. Basically, mentally ill.
bkmk
“Sensitive people are disliked because they consider other people’s feelings.”
Maybe in Bizarro World. “Sensitive” people are solely focused on their own feelings.
The whiny wimp hates the shirt. But the shirt wearer would be the first to protect him if he or his family were threatened with harm. Does he get that?
It would appear Bill Patrie is a flaming liberal 🤣🤣🤣 but I’ll give him credit on guns killing people when they’re in the wrong hands.. that’s a first for a liberal for me.
… but the 50-year flood of insults, denigrations, implicit and overt threats, violence, deplatforming, firings, exclusion and other bigotry against anything (pick any one or several) Christian, male, not-perverted, free, family-oriented, actually-female, …
… that’s fine from the fake-smart, fake-tolerant leftists because they’ve unpersoned us in their minds and so it’s only good, nice, and tolerant to hate us and work to eliminate us.
Their problem of course is that the majority have finally noticed that the minority are a tyranny, and thanks to the vile screaming hatred from the left are being forced past tolerance and indifference into dislike and resistance. They haven’t seen ‘hate’ yet.
WHAT about all those killed by other methods, it’s not the gun, it’s the evil person who uses any weapon to kill.
Mother of child beaten to death by a Sociopath killer for thrills.
I would rather see that on a T-Shirt than a portrait of Che Guevara.
He said intelligent people should be called liberals. Since “liberals” tend to believe in a lot of things that are untrue, maybe they’re not so intelligent after all.
Naive and emotionally driven is more like it.
The thing is, they aren’t liberals at all, they are Communists who stole the term to cloak their true intentions, which is to put us all in death camps, once they gain total power.
