Never underestimate the ability of Republicans to fuck it up, in the next election or beyond. Of course, the same applies to the Democrats, as evidenced by the nomination of the Anointed One. What I'd like in a candidate, broadly, is social liberalism, fiscal sense, and answers that aren't automatically "more government" and "more shitty laws".
I'm not sure whether you are saying that *I* think that or someone else (missing pronoun in your sentence). I don't actually think that. Tighter restrictions on gun ownership will probably have close to zero effect on violent crime by gangs and predatory criminals. I do think that making it easier for people in large cities to buy guns will probably lead to higher levels of domestic violence, perhaps vigilantism as well. Pack enough people close together in tight quarters and stress levels rise, it is human nature. Stress leads to disputes, and if the most convenient way to resolve a dispute is with a gun, some people are going to reach for the gun. It's hard to argue with that logic.
Where stress levels are low enough that such incidents are rare (such as here in VT), taking guns from honest people would solve absolutely nothing. That's why I tend to think gun laws should be a local matter, despite the 2nd amendment. But my mind is still open on the subject.
But the fact remains - apparently Putin DID want Trump to get elected, regardless of the stated reasons why he shouldn't have.
McCain is the worst scum. I am ashamed that he's a veteran, and a republican. Nothing McCain has ever done for the US in uniform is worth all the damage he's caused. Nothing.
But nothing. Free immigration is a more Libertarian idea than Liberal. It is often regarded as one of their core concepts. Rich from POA did some writing on his open borders ideas that I wish I could still access.
Goebbels would be proud of the MSM.
The MSM is pumping this whole division bullshit.
