    I held my nose and went and had a look over on r/conservative to check the vibe, and boy-howdy do those people live in a separate universe.

      My goodness, I only got as far as the first post.

      “Even though all evidence shows he was a radical leftist…”

      What? His parents said he was MAGA, like them. Some anonymous people and some talking heads that only benefit from him being leftist suggested he was leftist. I think I’ll believe his parents.

      And then talking about guns, and included the context of the quote (that gun deaths are a necessity of the second amendment) in which he likens it to driving, and the driving deaths each year from that. And particularly “the dems have no answer to that!” Except having a driver’s license isn’t just handed out to everyone, you have to prove you have the knowledge and training to operate a vehicle, it can be taken away, and there are various levels of licensing and what a person is allowed to drive. Those are, like, the majority of gun control measures we’re looking to apply.

        The claims about how violent the left is are pretty bizarre as well. Citation needed, folks?
