These people are the reason we need gun control at least, possibly a total firearm ban.

I hope this kind of thinking doesn't catch on properly or gain any traction with so called 'nothing-to-lose' folk which the article refers to.

If they turn to violence to avenge their orange martyr, then they can face the legal system themselves.

I'm worried too many people will still vote for him because they think Biden wants to "persecute Christians" or "take their guns".

On top of that, Texas is considering a state version of the Electoral College. It would require a candidate for statewide office to win the popular vote in the majority of counties in the state.

Texas has 254 counties, the most of any state. The majority of counties are rural and very conservative--some of the counties in the Panhandle are almost unanimously Republican. Democrats are mostly concentrated in the urban counties (Harris, Dallas, Bexar, etc). If this were in effect in the 2022 gubernatorial election, it would have been Greg Abbott 235, Beto O'Rourke 19.

Basically, this would ensure one-party GOP rule.

It sounds like Texas knows exactly what they're doing. One party rule forever through the world's most extreme gerrymandering. They must really hate democracy.

Not personally. I'm pretty sure I can take him. :nerdy:

Man on man, sure, who couldn't take that fat old bag of hamburger grease? It's what he represents, and his cult of personality that follows his every move, that's terrifying.

Those people always existed and always were a threat, just no one recognized it until they started all wearing the same red hat.

Although, it must be nice for Fred Durst to wake up every morning and not be the biggest douche bag in a red hat that people will see that day.

No, I think I could take him. The man doesn't exercise and eats mostly McDonald's. It's the security detail that would probably be the biggest impediment.

(/JK although I definitely could take him, I've just got no interest.)

I think it's more of a what than a who, and that what would be no-one paying attention to him. That he's just someone else on the street.

I wonder which he would pick: have as much money as he pretends to, but no one pays attention to him ever again; or be broke, living in Time Square, but he gets endless attention and chances to take pictures with tourists (just like Elmo and Soup).
