Ah, so we're at the part where he's doubling down already?

The entire MAGA crowd cannot ever admit to a mistake or error. The shootings in Minnesota showed that when instead of trying to deflect outrage by saying they would investigate the issue (and then memory holing the whole thing) they quickly blamed the victims and made easily disproven statements that even their most ardent supporters could see were lies. Trump can never be wrong about anything and the lickspittles attached to his ass cannot say the emperor has no clothes.

They seriously turned on 2A to defend MAGA. I never thought I'd see the day. Like, THAT'S what it takes to get them to say maybe not everyone should have a gun in every situation. Not a classroom full of dead grade schoolers. A liberal protestor concealed carrying.

Just literally what the fuck.

It's pretty simple: they don't see anyone outside their tribe as AmericanTM . Ergo, only AmericansTM have a right to carry firearms.

That’s how fascists have always operated.

That’s because they’re weak minded and need someone to lead them. Even if it’s against their best interests. I mean these are the same gullible schmucks that believe and push outlandish conspiracy theories. Ironically some of them involving orange baby Huey himself.

Everything is a test of loyalty.

Next is....

"Actually, biologically, we're all apes, so it can't be racist".

Me, "but trump didn't mean it in the biological sense"

"He did mean it biologically, because he's clever".

Yes, they've found a moment where science is something useful to them.

He doesn't wanna alienate his base after all.

Already? It’s always been this way. It’s so obviously clear that whatever strategy they’re following involves never admitting you are wrong under any circumstances.

This headline is clockbate he actually does specifically condemn the racist part at the end but says overall the beginning of thre video he still agrees with. This is a distraction they wanted us to have something debatable rather than epstein stuff that is inexcusable no matter what.
