This past three\u00a0weeks has been fascinating; I’ve watched a whole lot of people I’d considered fairly rational, sensible people completely losing their grip on reality. I could talk – “joke”, sure, what the heck – about how people on the political left frequently seem groaningly ignorant about history, but that’s a separate subject for another time.<\/p>\n

I’ve seen some of them writing or sharing *precisely* the sort of end-of-the-world apocalyptic gloom and doom that they were mocking *some* Republicans for writing eight years ago – advice about surviving the end of civilization, the fall of civil society, barbarians at the gates, pretty much the whole “Walking Dead” bit.<\/span><\/p>\n

The part that has me the most interested, though, is the dark, furtive references some of them are making to “resisting”…whatever it is they’re worried about. Some are even taking measures they’d considered downright unholy – indeed, measures that a month ago most of them were working to foreclose.<\/p>\n

And while I detest schadenfreud, I just have to ask those liberals; are you finally starting to understand (however irrationally and mistakenly) why some of us bitter, gun-clinging deplorables fought to hard to protect the *originalist* interpretation of the Second Amendment?<\/p>\n

Maybe just a little?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I’ve seen more than a few liberal writers claim that black people arming themselves<\/a> is how we’ll “finally” get gun control. \u00a0Only at the hands of Democrats. \u00a0The NRA has been arming minorities since 1866.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
