    So this is actually about gun control and not Trump. We all agree that you should not have access to a gun if you’re insane. But we also agree that alcohol gives you diminished capacity. We can’t have guns and booze ever.

      It’s important to also remember that fascists construct queer people as insane, and it’s completely reasonable for even an insane queer person to shoot an armed fascist. Would they not deserve a little tequila shot before and after, as a treat?

          Listen pal, you have to accept the gravity of it. If you tell someone you want to kill them, they are completely reasonable to take you seriously and retaliate before you get the chance.

          People who take up fascism do deserve violence, and the ones to take it up lightly should have thought of what it means to prescribe genocide before they did it. Grow up.

            No that’s not lawful, thank God. You can certainly get away and tell the cops etc, but you are not allowed to murder someone because they voice homicidal intent. They have to also have means and be taking action.

              Spoken like someone who doesn’t have to worry about systemic violence 👍

              Some people don’t need to do it themselves, which is how they fool people like you into thinking only the victim is immoral for defending themselves when they are not in a position of power to discard violence. Yes, being a fascist is a violent act inherently because they advocate for the continued, escalated use of preexisting systemic violence against vulnerable groups.

              Grow the fuck up, real life isn’t like comic books.

                Just to be clear - claiming that you murdered someone in self defense because they advocate for a system which perpetuates violence against you is not lawful or likely to succeed. If it did, every minority could murder at will.

                  Oh no, it’s unlawful? 😱 That’s so strange…

                  Hey, why would every minority need to do that? Is there something about this system that poses an existential threat to them? Why would that be? Hmmmmmmmm 🤔

                  I’m sure you wouldn’t say you’re a fascist either; one of the many conveniences this system affords to the privileged: comfort with passively benefiting from murder.
