And asking for accountability was the main focal point. Supporting cops UNCONDITIONALLY is bootlicking.

And good luck fighting the government with your rifle when they can just drone strike your house.

On top of that most of these boomer conservatives with high cholesterol can barely even get off the couch. You couldn’t even lead the fight to eat your Jalapeño poppers inside a Wendy’s.


And for the record, the US has always been tyrannical. Just not to people who were white.


Per your meme...

None of that is required to buy a car.

Only to drive one on public roads.

The equivalent analogy would be to carry a gun in public......not simply buying one and keeping on your own property.

To be fair,

When Trump was POTUS, the left accused the right of being a bootlicker.

Now it's Biden POTUS, the right is now accusing the left of being a bootlicker.


**** flinging goes both ways.

I've never used that term. I'm just pointing out the contradiction. To me that term is for pink-haired anarchists at Berkeley or for the Black Panthers recruiting videos.

Democrats are in charge, so right now, the left thinks the government is all powerful, all benevolent, perfect, etc. The INSTANT the Republicans take back power in the House, the Senate and/or White House, the Left will become a posse of OG revolutionaries circa 1776, and then dissent, protest, damning The Man, etc will be the highest form of patriotism.

You can set your clocks to it.

Amazing isn't that Liberals are so against bigotry, but refuse to see the bigotry in themselves?

Actually, it is just this misguided poster looking for attention from his bubble crowd.

Absolutely correct.

Only noticeable difference is the majority of the media is liberal/left/Democrat, so whatever axe the Left is grinding, it is just generally louder than whatever axe the Right is grinding. Beyond that simple matter of volume, you are 100% correct.

Whatever party is in power, the other party's constituents are all Patrick Henry wannabes. Been that way since forever.

Why does the left want to submit so hard to government? Are they "bootlickers?"


That's after THEY become "the government", of course.

But now they want those same police and the government to DISARM THEM?!

What happened to the "bootlicker" spirit?

Do you guys think the Jews in Germany from the 1930s would approve of this?

How about the American Indians from the late 1800s?

Why would you so quickly wish to submit something as valuable as your right to defend your own life to the whims of the GOVERNMENT?! Heck, Orange Hitler might be back in 2024. Do you trust HIM to be the only one with guns????

Isn't your position kind of logically contradictory?
Who is asking you to give up the right to defend your own life? Nobody.

If I'd been in Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, three days ago, there was a law there saying I can't carry a gun or knife, or anything else.

Are you one of those Democrats who go around saying that as long as I can pick up a rock and throw it at the teenaged madman shooting up the place, or if I stick him with a pencil, then my right to keep and bear arms has not been infringed and I can still defend my life?
