SCENE: Mitch BERG is shoveling his sidewalk. As he’s shoveling to the east, Avery LIBRELLE, out for a walk, comes up from the west and catches BERG by surprise.<\/em><\/p>\n

LIBRELLE: Hey, Merg!<\/p>\n

BERG: \u00a0Uh…hi, Avery. \u00a0What’s…<\/p>\n

LIBRELLE: \u00a0 Drumpf is appointing racist white supremacists from the Alt-Right to his cabinet!<\/p>\n

BERG: \u00a0Avery, I have a question for you. \u00a0One of the reasons I support the Second Amendment is that I believe it’s possible – not “highly likely”, but\u00a0possible\u00a0<\/em>– that despite all the safeguards built into the Federalist system, our government could one day be take over by people who actively trample the peoples’ freedom.<\/p>\n

LIBRELLE: \u00a0That’s paranoia, treason, and an ammosexual gun fondler fantasy.<\/p>\n

BERG: \u00a0Huh. \u00a0But Donald Trump is now president, and you’re worried…<\/p>\n

LIBRELLE: \u00a0…that government is actively going to stifle and quash peoples’ freedom.<\/p>\n

BERG: \u00a0Gotcha. \u00a0So when a Second Amendment supporter says that they’re acting in defense of liberty, they are…<\/p>\n

LIBRELLE: \u00a0Fat bald white gun fondlers who’ve watched\u00a0Rambo\u00a0<\/em>too many times and are probably terrorists waiting to happen.<\/p>\n

BERG: \u00a0 And when Hillary Clinton supporters say it about Trump, they are…<\/p>\n

LIBRELLE: \u00a0Guarding freedom against a fascist tyrant.<\/p>\n

BERG: \u00a0 Gun owners…<\/p>\n

LIBRELLE: \u00a0Fat angry stupid traitors.<\/p>\n

BERG: \u00a0People attacking Trump…<\/p>\n

LIBRELLE: \u00a0The highest expression of democratic ideals.<\/p>\n

BERG: \u00a0Conservative…<\/p>\n

LIBRELLE: \u00a0Evil. \u00a0Hate. \u00a0Death.<\/p>\n

BERG: \u00a0“Progressive”<\/p>\n

LIBRELLE: \u00a0Love.<\/p>\n

BERG: \u00a0Naturally.<\/p>\n
