It's not always been about distractions. It is now. And its working. You had 2A for a reason, and you used it to kill school kids, now the National Guard is being deployed by the president, Marines are being used against US Citizens, unidentified people are disappearing US citizens with no due process en masse, whilst paedophiles are pardoned for legitimate insurrection, and the President runs a crypto scam, and used car dearlership on the front lawn of the White House. Political rivals are being detained by the state, and being executed by its followers... all while threats of invasion are made towards allied sovereign nations and threats of execution are made towards leaders of other countries. The rapist felon bankrupt billionaire nepobaby y'all elected to represent yourselves is suing the free press, he is litigiously pursuing lawyers he disagrees with, he is making trade deals he doesn't even understand based on who he likes. He is putting incompetent *wits in charge of you military, he is letting drug addled, chainsaw wielding, lying, scamming idiot grifters enrich themselves, instead of saving lives, and he's working his hardest to foment domestic terror, and American hatred abroad, sending the Israelis Billions per year and pretending that a tenth of that for Child cancer needs cutting... He is taking from the poor, to give to the rich, he is wiping his * soiled, nappy rash blistered arse with the constitution... and all some Americans are doing it about it, is complaining, whilst the state wilfully and anonymously fires 'less lethal' rounds back at them.
I don't understand how America has it's head so far up it's ass to not do something about this. Tell the British you have #NoRegrats and give the land back to the natives, the USA has become an embarrassing blemish on the record of humanity. Well done though, you lasted longer than the USSR.
