I dont think you are advocating for violence, but there was a shooting at a Congressional baseball game and it didnt push the Republicanw towards passing legislation to control guns at all. It is extremely disturbing how little of a fuck they give.

Yeah I remember that. Yeah...same with the insurrection: they can only care for about an hour, then it back to business.

That's kinda the comment that always gets me banned: as long as Republican politicians do not actually die themselves frequently, they will not change.

The one who was shot? Steve Scalise, the other Louisiana Speaker candidate. He didn't change his stance at all

I think they went with, "See, it's the democrats who are violent."

It's a cruel world, friends.
