Summary
Fox News openly blamed Donald Trump for Monday’s stock market crash, with the Dow dropping 890 points and the S&P 500 falling 2.7%.
The Dow is now 1,500 points below where it was when Trump took office. Analysts cite his chaotic messaging and steep tariffs on key trading partners as driving investor uncertainty.
Trump refused to predict a recession, calling it a “transition,” while his officials gave conflicting reassurances.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned of a “detox period,” further fueling market fears.
That MAG have lots of guns? That I’m prepared to defend exactly what my constitution says? Or that I’m armed? Because all of them are things I would advertise. People need to learn that progressives/the left are armed too.
That you’re stockpiling ammo. Trump is going to go after personal gun ownership at some point in the next 2 year.
Outside of his bump stock ban that couldn’t be farther from an actual reality. There are many, many stupid things that man will do. Taking away guns is definitely not one of them. I’m all for pointing out the insanity of this administration, but we cannot become crazy conspiracy nuts like MAGA. Trump will ruin the economy and make it so people can’t afford guns, but take them away… not at all.
Trump literally said, "“Take the guns first, go through due process second,” in his first term.
Fascist authoritarian dictators usually don’t let private gun ownership exist.
And at the very least they’ll try to take them away from liberals.
While true, Project 2025 seems to want to go all-in on guns everywhere with strong support from the NRA. But you’re right, historically this meant only guns for loyalists.

Exactly shocked the fuck out of my brother a year ago when he saw me browsing a socialist gun sub reddit. He said in fear “socialist have guns?” I said fuck yeah we do. He thought only right wingers are armed.
He also freaked when that guy in Florida driving a toyota prius shot that fucking red neck that was harassing him.

My house isn’t intended to be a point of battle… I think you’re mistaking being prepared for something and talking about that preparation compared to building up full caches. Which I have no reason for. Look more to examples of Ukraine in the early parts of the war. That’s a rough idea of what I’d expect modern warefare/civil war. So having enough to fight off something potentially localized is important, but not the end. Being quiet on these matters is how we have ended up in this shit position.

When the FUCK did I claim to be a one man army? Holy shit my dude. I simply said I’m trying to convince my other progressive/liberal friends to arm themselves and keeping myself armed. If I thought I was a one man army I wouldn’t be trying to get them to arm themselves. Your point doesn’t stand because it’s coming from an assumption that you’ve made not from truth
