But, without figures, there's no way for either of us to know.

I'd say the majority of privately owned firearms are in the hands of tRump followers.

90% is a big stretch.

You can be an emotional thinker or you can research. I recommend reading.

Bernie Sanders as president? Not my first choice, but I would vote for him over Trump. I don't think he will grift our tax payer dollars golfing at one of his resorts that needs a financial boost every weekend.

Just another tid bit for you to research. The economy does better under the Democrats. Fact. Read about it.
There was a depression in 2008?

How did the Republicans cause it?

This way she will automatically be POTUS (first woman at that) when he finally decides to give up the ghost.
Ahah....very good point. No one would want her as their VP though.....waiting for that banana peel.....

If a majority of privately owned firearms are in the hands of Trump's followers, what does it matter?

What does it matter to you if Trump supporters own the majority of guns? How does this impact your daily life?? What does this have to do with squat??

I would say you are pretty close.....90% might be low if you count total number of firearms vs actual owners. There might be a couple of Bernites that own a rusty old .38 special their GrandDad gave them, but that doesn't compare to the other side......

Bernie will never win.

But if he did, in 2 years after the economy collapses the House and Senate will turn/stay red to stop him from destroying America and its ideals.

Oh and BTW here's the source:
https://www.dailywire.com/news/berni...-if-trump-wins

Daily Wire isn't the greatest but the video of the guy saying that doesn't lie.

I just don't see that same thing with the conservative/right leaning crowd. There are many cases where liberal/lefty's are getting attacked for not being "woke" enough.

I say this as someone that has consistently scored politically center, slight left leaning. In other words I have no dog really in this fight and this stuff is obvious as hell to me as well as to many many other average everyday centrist leaning Americans.

I think a major pushback is starting to come about, all of this stuff was and has been driven the slow creeping hyper-PC movement over the last several years.

Common sense has left the building....
Yes, there are lots of liberals who are too much. No question. They're easily offended -- all while being offensive.

But I honestly don't know how you can say that conservatives, especially here on CD, are any different. They're just as extreme, they're as prone to oversensitivity, and they're definitely as offensive. They're rude, they resort to name-calling and condescension as often (if not more often) as liberals do, and they will just as quickly go running to the mods when they read something they don't like.
