So the anti-socialists get to make fools of themselves in front of the world. Lets see how many have time to "protest" in a few weeks when they are clogging up the ER's to save their miserable lives.

Oh, the guns are just to let people know that they can shoot ya' and do "other things" if there are shortages or a breakdown.

The "promiscuous gun toters", (as a former NRA head called them long ago) are not being honorable by brandishing firearms like that and they are not being patriotic or really fighting for anything. They are letting us know that they are going to be the first gangs of criminals to steal from and kill their fellow Americans if they get a chance. All the other stuff about patriotism is a front for murderous, dangerous thugs. It is a form of intimidation and a threat, not to the government really, but the rest of us.

Patriotism doesn't mean what it used to mean.
There's been a shift and we need to return to a better place.

labeled "Covad-19 test kit - used"

And offer them all drinks since they obviously think this is all a "hoax" or no worse than the flu.
