If you can legalize the sale of military-grade weapons to the public after finally having the sense to ban them, it should be no surprise that a career criminal/TV celebrity/rapist as president is around the corner.
I guess we’ll have “The Purge” next, or ban birth control (again) AND abortion (again). Allow the military to operate (openly) on U.S. soil, revoke habeas corpus, operate a torture prison on a U.S. military base, allow the president and his family to broker deals for his personal business while entertaining/visiting foreign nationals. Who knows?
Perhaps we’ll allow the president to heap praise on a vicious psychopath-killer. Refuse to bat an eyelash when he privately meets with a KGB-trained Russian dictator. Seat a Supreme Court justice-for-life after the candidate tanks a Wendy’s or Burger King interview.
It could be that we’ll turn the other cheek when children of desperate migrants are taken from their mothers — for weeks, months, years. Forever.
Maybe we’ll pay for the President of the United States to not only be a keynote speaker at the NRA convention, but to marshal a rally of hateful scapegoating and sputtered lies — while vans full of the corpses of elderly Jewish people are taken to the morgue.
That’s the kind of insanity path we chose when weapons such as the AR-15 became legal again. No joke. But apparently most people (in this country) think it is.
