        I’ve still yet to see an example of this hypothetical person you’re alluding to, who is genuinely working towards this change in the gop? It is really only oppositionist and temporary.

        Liz cheney, for example, seemed to be something approaching this during impeachment, but she was just fighting for her political life and saw her only angle. And of course, in the same breath she’ll say that “liberals are aborting babies after they are born”.

      I want two, pro-choice parties. I want two anti-trump parties. I want two pro-gun parties.

      When the shit that the parties differ on is shit I don’t care about, mission accomplished.

          Agreed.

          There should also be no violent crime. No assault, rape, murder. No beatings, stabbings. No kidnappings, armed robberies, burglaries, arsons. No suppressiin of dissidents. No invasions or genocides.

          And when we finally achieve all of those, I fully agree: there should be no guns.

          Until that day, every political party should be pro-gun.

            Lol no. You won’t be getting a reduction in crime without a reduction in firearms.

              How does that work?

              I mean, the overwhelming majority of violent crimes are committed without the perpetrator being armed with a gun.

              Are you under the impression that the mere existence of guns leads people who don’t have them to commit violent crimes? What is the mechanism by which guns drive violent criminals without guns to violently crime?

                There are more mass shootings in the US every week than there were in the whole of Europe in the last decade.
