(10,950 posts)I've read four articles over the last two days about 'scared gun owners' shooting people for no reason beyond paranoia and hate. Each time (rightly or wrongly) I've thought: bet this guy was a right-wing nut steeped in conspiracy.
This is the House The NRA And Right-Wing Media Built: shoot first, ask questions later.
Time to condemn all these blood-stained sandcastles!
Btw, I have a cousin who spouts all the right-wing BS on FB. When my husband wants to annoy me, he begins reading her ludicrous posts.
I do not get it. I never will. But I know from a brief conversation we had three years ago, she's wedded to the 'Golden Age' myth about how glorious and trouble-free our childhoods were before the 'ruin' began. We grew up in the same time period, the 50s and 60s.
Our memories have diverged spectacularly!
