FLASH: The Left has Openly Declared War on you Red State Neanderthals

[Smitty-48]

Nobody loves nuclear weapons more than me, but they're not going to stop the GOP from aligning itself with ever more liberal policies in order to hold the center. In the end, they want to win, they ran a bunch of hard right candidates, and they all lost to the candidate who was well to the left of Bill Clinton, there's no nuclear option there, the GOP base is shifting left, the party will follow.

[Speaker to Animals]

Our great refusal to fear.

Ridiculous Bjorn.

The Left are openly saying we are at war, moreover, they are taking direct action. You can deny the facts if you want. It's ignorant to not recognize when groups declare war on you. I'm just relating the facts.

No Carlus. "The" Left isn't, because "The" left is not an army, not a government, doubt it's even much of a cohesive movement, tbh, and those three people are not its generals.

So there were no wars before there was the title General

Whatever the title of warleaders, Carlus, they generally had armies and government backing. Power. Followers. You are presenting this article as The One Manifesto of The Left of America, as if by writing the article all leftists in America must agree with their message. As if those two authors were leftist kings speaking for all US leftists. Who apparantly all want a one state America...

Those two authors + the Twitter guy are in no position to "declare war" on anything on anyones behalf. You are reading an article written by nobodies with money, yet being as fearful of them as if they were emperors.

They declared war the day after election night.

Carlus is right to fear, his vision of America will be wiped off the map, but it will be the GOP who does it, California wont have to defeat them, they will come to California, the leftward shift of the GOP has been inexorable and long standing, Nixon, Reagan, Bush, Bush, Trump, tax and spend nanny state liberals all, the last time the GOP was led by an actual conservative, was Barry Goldwater.

Concealed Carry Class Enrollment Spikes in Spite of Gun Control Push

People are surging to sign up for training to carry concealed weapons in the wake of the Parkland school shooting, as experts say sustained media coverage and calls for more gun control encourage people to look for ways to protect themselves.

Gun sales also appear to be on the rise, based on federal background checks.

The National Carry Academy in Minnesota says the number of people in its concealed carry courses has increased more than 200 percent since the Valentine’s Day shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida. The company said it was the biggest jump since the 2012 school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.

In other words, they're afraid the GOP is going to cave on gun control, which, I would say that's a rational fear, a GOP President was berating members of congress in his own party the other day; for "caving in to the NRA!", he's literally reading the Democrats lines for them.

[Okeefenokee]

You'll notice the base is moving in the opposite direction.

[BjornP]

Oh, I don't dispute that he is right to worry about globalism as a threat to his culture same as it is mine, something which he considers a leftist phenomenon. It's the use of the word "war" for something that involves no fighting, no soldiers, but instead a conflict of words and ideas, to describe the OP article I can't stand. War is war. War isn't someone writing something offensive in a progressive magazine.

[Smitty-48]

You'll notice the base is moving in the opposite direction.

Not at all, look at what they voted for; trade protectionism, wage protectionism, infrastructure boondoggles, federal gun control measures, dentente with Russia, withdrawal of US forces from overseas, Trump's platform was fundamentally liberal, big government nanny state interventionism and isolationist peacenickery, dictionary definition of, he basically stole the Democrat party's platform, he's to left of Jimmy Carter never mind Bill Clinton.
