That Onion article is always very amusing and sobering everytime there’s a mass shooting

The more info that comes out, the worse the police in Uvalde are looking.

That’s because it makes us confront our societal gun fetish. We didn’t do anything after Sandy Hook. We won’t do anything after this.

Freddy represents America. The thing we do after a massacre is worry about access to guns.

So don't you see the reaction to access guns as just that when people are emotional about taking them away? The way I see it, if you didn't have people politicizing a tragedy, you wouldn't have people reacting to their narrative

The way I politicized it? Or the way you are?

I’m noting facts. Nothing gets done after massacres. We are a society of gun fetishist’s.

You are the one using a massacre to complain about your access to guns.

Which one of us politicized this?

No one is trying to take away your guns. Keep them all.

Not every state is New Jersey. This kid was able to go to a store and buy TWO guns, with just an ID.

No background check, no mental evaluation, no waiting period. Again, if I wanted to adopt a pet right now I’d be vetted more throughly than if I wanted to buy an AR-15.

If you can’t see a problem with that, I’m not sure what else there is to say.

What do you propose we do to try and prevent this from happening again? Because it feels like your answer is nothing…which is kind of sad.

I know you suggested Hungary Freddy, put you’ll still be pleased, I’m sure, that my brother and I (and our spouses) have initiated the process of gaining Austrian/EU citizenship as direct descendants of a persecuted Austrian, my late father. Gained eligibility in 2019.

I urge anyone that suspects or realizes the threat to themselves and their families future here to explore an egress strategy and be prepared to act on it. As a first generation American and History major who learned the lessons of my father’s escape from the Nazis in August 1939, I cannot stress enough the peril the usual targets of authoritarianism and supremacists are now under.

Mostly I think the “I’m leaving the country” crowd (Billy Armstrong the latest sad example) are attention whore crybabies. All the Texas secessionists included.

But I get it. I’m not sure they’ll be free elections in 2024 once the Proud Boy/Oath Keeper crowd get control of “counting” the votes in some states this fall.

You have a Supreme Court willing to impose a minority Christian fundamentalist interpretation of personhood on the nation. And wants to ignore separation of church from state.

I don’t want to live through history again either. I’m pretty sure you’re wise to have an exit strategy.

My plan is to trust that you wipe this site of any record that I ever posted here beforehand.

"I'd take this to virtually always."

That's quite a sentence.

As expected, the Christofascists will reveal themselves readily.

Here’s the story of the Aunt I never got to meet, my father’s sister Marta who instead of coming to the US with him and my grandmother, tried to make it Palestine: https://theworldlink.com/letters-tra...253a4a731.html

So in your world only “certain people” can agree ?

You didn’t notice people who “want to leave the country”
seem to come out of the woodwork every time
a court ruling or an election result didn’t go their way.?

Your explanation of how I’m a Christofascist must be an interesting one;
not connected to any actual reality of course. But I’m sure will make for some
interesting reading.

BTW, the next “I’m leaving country” whiner
who actually leaves, will be the first one I’ve ever crossed paths with.

Someone is angry

Keep trying. You’re still learning…..I guess.

Yeah your post to Steve really seemed like someone "humored."

Please keep embarrassing yourself. It keeps me humored.

Sneering at people who are justifiably alarmed at the rapid devolving of this country’s stability, its stature as a democracy and how things plausibly play out provides ample insight into how to read your reality.

My grandmother started applying for exit visas from Austria in 1935, fully 3 years before kristallnacht. It took until August ‘39 to gain American entry. Had my father’s Uncle Ike in Brooklyn not gained passes for her and my father, they would have been part of the large number of European Jews to emigrate to Shanghai.

My alert is for all of us that are the predictable targets of the agents of sickness that have been fostered and provided a platform to destroy everything we ever thought this country was. I have long term business interests in Canada and a ready green light to receive an EU passport and can leave readily. Other people will need to plan like my grandmother did. People who believe in democracy will fight this vile scenario, but need to be prepared to protect themselves and their families.

Take another look at your own board buddy.

So leave. If you don’t like it here, leave.

People have tried many times to have a discussion with you. Your problem is you’re not very bright. So when someone asks you to clarify your dumb sh.it or provides you with facts, you don’t know what to do.

So you play the twist and deflect game.

You’re a dummy. Be mad at yourself for that. It’s not our fault.

I’m not on your side, dude.

My reference was a contingent one that lol’d at entitled idiots and angry Texan’s every time they lose an election.

In this case the Republican Party is at war with itself over whether they accept the results of elections. One part is actively working to overturn future results they don’t like. The other side is losing.

You have a Supreme Court where a solid majority appears to look at “The Handmaids Tale” as God’s will. And they just took on a case that, if they decide, will remove election results from voters and place it with state legislatures.

It’s no longer a joke. Particularly if you’re, as Steve put it, the usual target.

If they come after internet Jackasses, I guess I’ll see you in hell.
