I’ve never really thought about being a gun owner before. Even though I’m a white middle-aged male native Iowan, I’ve seen nothing but horrible consequences from gun ownership. But after 2 police officers were gunned down by a Trump loving Right Wing Nut Job less than 10 miles from where I live and work, and less than 5 miles from a place where I spend many evenings during the fall and winter months (Go Bucs!), I may be changing my mind.
What’s going to be next, being fired on if you have the bumper sticker or yard sign of a Democratic candidate? And if Orange Hitler wins, when will my voting record, donation record, and profession, put me on a list to be send to a camp?
The same police that are rightfully upset and angry about this act of right wing terrorism, will within days be back to being a significant part of the “5th column” that infests our rapidly dying democracy. Some will probably be happy to see me and my family loaded into a black truck and disappeared.
This is what 40 years of incessant right wing propaganda does to an economically challenged demographic, turns them into fascist assholes. Fuck you WHO radio. Fuck you Iowa Republican Party. Fuck you Terry Branstad. Fuck you Steve King. Fuck you Joni Ernst. Fuck You Bruce Rastetter.
You all have RUINED what used to be a great state.
