Why aren’t the left leaning protests relabeled as intimidating? Why’s it only pro constitutional protests labeled as intimidation?
It has nothing to do with who is protesting what & everything to do with the fact that they’re showing up with loaded guns dressed in army guy Halloween costumes.
We have the right to bear arms and protest with said arms. So you think the bill of rights is intimidating?
The militia aka any able body citizen tends to wear camo(which is also legal to own and wear. I own a lot of camo uniforms)
Bearing arms and wearing camo isnt intimidating except to sjw who don’t like anything or anyone different then them.
Bearing arms tia. Protest about the right to bear arms being attacked is valid.
Just like African Americans sitting in at all white restaurants or buses.
It’s a good thing I wasn’t taking a sip of my drink when I read that!
African Americans conducting a peaceful protest of a sit in at all white restaurants or buses is not comparable to some group of combat cosplayers armed to the teeth.
What part of loaded guns and military clothing are intended to intimidate do you not understand? Or do you really not get why the army has guns and military uniforms instead of bubble wands and a casual dress code of Hawaiian shirts?

It was a question, not a statement and I didn't label anyone. What do you think motivated him to make this call to arms?
I’ve seen calls for liberals to liberate red states aka by elections. Nothing I’ve seen from trump calls for arms. Elections for state congresses and governors are coming in November too so he probably wants republicans to vote out democrats in said states. If I was able to and not worried about the virus I’d attend protests too.
Except people with expert knowledge of free speech and what trump tweeted say otherwise:

Maybe this will lead to his 2nd impeachment? Maybe he won’t even pass Go or collect $200 & will go directly to jail for TRE45ON?

The Soviets never "conquered". They always "liberated".
George Orwell mentions this tactic in an essay from 1946.
Worth a read and of course still relevant in today's times.

“...political language has to consist largely of euphemism, question-begging and sheer cloudy vagueness. Defenceless villages are bombarded from the air, the inhabitants driven out into the countryside, the cattle machine-gunned, the huts set on fire with incendiary bullets: this is called pacification. Millions of peasants are robbed of their farms and sent trudging along the roads with no more than they can carry: this is called transfer of population or rectification of frontiers. People are imprisoned for years without trial, or shot in the back of the neck or sent to die of scurvy in Arctic lumber camps: this is called elimination of unreliable elements.”
People’s republic of China
People’s Liberation Army
German Democratic Republic
Democratic People's Republic of Korea
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics
It’s not random that dictatorships choose names that run counter to what they really are. They know how propaganda works.
You forgot one:
America; land of the free.

Tell that to democrats who are like wait
The pro 2nd amendment people can’t protest due to this pandemic, perfect time to pass gun control. Want a virus aid bill sure but only if we sneak in some illegal gun registration and confiscation. Democrats are in full one use this to our advantage mode.
They want another patriot act passed during national panic type thing.
Or perhaps they want to continue having months without school shootings after kids go back to school?
Clearly the free for all gun laws in the USA that have resulted in America having more guns than people aren’t exactly working so s**t hot.. so why oppose some common sense gun control measures to keep guns out of the hands of people who should never have them?

Do you think it's possible that reactionary types might misinterpret his words and show up to anti lockdown rallies in those states brandishing guns?
It’s their right and logical to have guns at a pro 2a rally to protect the right to own guns.
You must not be American?
Except it’s not a pro 2a rally. He told them to pick up their guns and intimidate their state governors over Coronavirus mitigation efforts locking down their states.

Civil rights are civil rights,
So African Americans peacefully sitting in a dinner is same as pro 2a people peacefully gathering wirh guns over the shoulders
They don’t intimidate me Orr half of the USA. Why are you intimidated?
The military wears uniforms to help stay hidden and be recognized same reason militia do . Militia are a legal and protected under USA law. The USA isn’t Canada.
I find it odd you’re intimidated by people in camo with guns over the should peacefully gathering but not antifa wearing all black with mask, assaulting people and burning buildings. Or black life matters.
I’d wager you’re find with blank panthers gathering with guns?
