These idiots would rather see a nuclear armed North Korea than Trump get any credit for disarmament.
      No lover of freedom and democracy with an ounce of intelligence would want a wannabe dictator to get credit for anything if it would secure the votes of enough idiots to make him one.

        You seem to be the type to hope for more mass shootings so you have more ammunition to use to get your way politically.
        Along with a collapse of our economy to decrease Trump's chances of reelection.

            Yup. Much, much better to have an economic collapse and a hostile North Korea threatening to launch a nuclear strike than for Trump to get any credit for anything.

                An economic collapse would indeed be better than the loss of freedom and democracy to a treasonous dictator. And btw, Trump hasn't changed the N. Korean problem one iota.

                  Jim, that's approaching paranoia levels.

                    No, it's not paranoia, Tea. Conservatives live in a conservative bubble and so are blind to what Trump is doing. His deep state rhetoric is just his way of overturning democratic institutions, installing loyalist syncophants throughout, and so shielding himself from their oversight.

                        Er, no. You seem to be doing what you are accusing the conservatives of - living in a bubble. This doesn't bear scrutiny.

                              We're living that history right now, and for most of the first world, developed nations, things seem to be going along swimmingly. If the stuff actually hit the fan, there is no way a citizen militia would outgun the US military.

                                That argument is such bunk because it wouldn't go down like that, and we've had this discussion before. It doesn't matter how much more powerful US government is because US military is not going to order missiles to rain down on American neighborhoods. If government outrightly banned guns in America, it would have to be door-to-door. And if anyone thinks this would go down smoothly for government forces, just look at how difficult it was for practically an entire police force to track down and kill Christopher Dorner, and he was one man. You're talking hundreds of thousands, if not millions of armed folks across the nation, many of which have military training.
