She felt pretty awful and at a break stop in Nebraska, a man started yelling and swearing at her because she was wearing a mask.
Imagine: feeling so entitled that you would yell at someone for wearing a mask. SMH.
Yeah if only Trump would tell his supporters the same, I have sympathy for Barron, but not for his father or older siblings.
- Oh, agreed about that. Donnie is definitely not a sympathetic figure. With all his ongoing stochastic terrorism, it's hard to feel sympathy for adults like donnie and junior here, but it's more about what is right. Sending death threats is not only immoral but illegal, and it likely harms the causes for good.
Yes, there is no excuse for sending death threats to anyone, including donnie.
- Ok. But you see, only the left is forced to play by the rules, while the right can do whatever the fuck they want, including treason and murder and get away with it. You want civility, you have to do the same.
  
  So much this.
Since the Heller opinion in 2008 and the reinvention of the Second Amendment, what we have and what has evolved in America is constitutionally protected gun violence. The Constitution should protect life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, not gun violence. Guns should not be the priority. The priority should be public safety and people’s lives.
Yes, this. Unfortunately, there is still this deification of the 2A in this country.
- It's worse than that. The stated reason all these gun nuts are so pro-2nd amendment is to 'defend against a tyranical government'. This is a lie. The incredibly strong correlation between 2nd amendment proponents and support for an authoritarian government that uses the police to oppress out-groups should be all the evidence anyone needs to conclude that these fuckers real reason is, "We plan to take over the US government and having the most guns makes that more likely".
  
  Yup. Their notion of owning guns to protect "freedom" is only about the Southern notion of "freedom", not any normal definition of that term. The fact that most of them love the likes of donnie and ronnie tells you all you need to know about them.
