Comment on Trump threatens to ‘federalize’ DC after attack on Big Balls

Oh let me guess. Yes another step in the authoritarian playbook.
Trump just threatened to federalize D.C., taking control from local leaders. That’s not just talk. It’s a classic authoritarian move: centralize power, bypass democracy, and push harsh punishment.
This isn’t law and order, it’s a play for control. Wake up.
I wouldn’t even be surprised if they got Big Nuts to stage it.

Waking up ain’t fuckin’ likely. The billionaire class has spent the last two decades ensuring the media terrified anyone left-of-center of the finest multipurpose battle rifle ever devised. Yeah, scary shit! Any reasonably competent human can pick up an AR-15 and go to work. It was designed for 18-yo dipshits to fight anywhere, anytime, any conditions, with minimal instruction or weapon care.
AR-15 used in any killing? Front page news. Maine shooter goes on one of the wildest rampages in recent history? Meh, no mention of the gun used. (It was an AR-10. Not sexy news.) Can anyone imagine why the ruling class wants to keep these weapons out of our hands? I got no idea!
If y’all didn’t get strapped on the first go round, I can’t convince you. All I can do is the job in front of me, and the fascists aren’t in my hood. Yet. Because the people around here are armed.
While we’re at it, I cannot overstate how fucking angry I am to have to walk my immigrant wife down the street with a pistol in my waistband. I have never worried about being armed in my life, and I’ve been in some crazy shit.
