Why Republicans Are on the Verge of Fistfights
Why Republicans Are on the Verge of Fistfights
A historian who studies political violence and the runup to the Civil War explains why congressmen are getting ready to brawl.
You're viewing a single thread.
The GOP has been fostering conspiracy theories and fringe issues and now they are at the stage where their base is electing people who believe in the conspiracies. Those people aren't usually very stable, hence more disruptive behavior and fist fights. It is probably only a matter of time before one sneaks a gun in and shoots the place up.

This is something that I'm surprised hasn't happened yet. When it does, there might be serious talk about doing something to prevent mass shootings, only because the "wrong people" were the victims this time. I'm honestly not sure which way that would go.
Well, that's easy to guess.
If it's a right winger shooting up the Dems, it'll be "A real tragedy, but could've been prevented if congress members were permitted to carry guns in the capital. The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun".
If it were a left winger shooting up the Republicunts, it'd be Mulford Act 2, Electric Boogaloo.
Would you trust the right-wingers to create gun legislation? I guess, if we're OK with only wealthy white people and cops having guns.
Im positive that would be the result.
