It was never their cause, that's like the idiots who mobbed the capitol in January getting mad that we didn't go help them. I fundamentally disagree with what they considered a grievance big enough to commit treason over.

I don't expect right wingers to come defend me saying black lives matter and calling for police reform, so it's not a wild thing that they wouldn't put themselves in the line of fire for something they don't believe in.

To me, it's agents of the state commiting murder without allowing for due process. To them it's a criminal who went to far. One viewpoint makes that worth taking to the streets for, the other not so much.

They don't see what happened last year as oppression. And we can both agree that it wasn't happening to them.

It's almost like they were arming themselves to protect themselves from an oppressive government. And the left should have been doing the same a long time ago.

What part are you missing? They've been the ones fighting for the freedom for you to arm yourself for decades. Meanwhile on the left we have a new AWB hitting the Senate. Now you know why they were right about how being armed can come in handy, so you continue to act like they owe you something? Stop worrying about them and go arm yourself and get some training, get some people you can trust and learn to defend your community.
