Under normal times . . .
. . . my comment would be dismissed as the ravings of an old man. But today . . . these are not normal times . . .
Musk is firing thousands of federal workers, screwing with social security (which is a lifeline for thousands), and generally pissing off a lot of people.
Muskrat does not understand that this country is filled with desperate people who are one paycheck, one social security check, one Medicaid visit way from starvation. Some of these people are on edge and can easily be tipped over the edge. And some of these have guns, are very good with their guns, and are about to snap.
Muskrat no doubt has Trump-directed Secret Service protection as well as private security. But they can't stop every desperate person with a Remington 700 .308 or a Weatherby Mark 5 Deluxe .30-06, with a Luepold Mark 5HD scope, zeroed in at 500 yards.
Just saying . . .
