@grey_ghost I dare you to go on any of the conservative outlets when there’s a mass shooting. Look at the comments

It’s almost as if they don’t live in this reality. Literally saying the government is coming for your guns, and there should be no restrictions all while people are being slaughtered in our reality

@flexghost @grey_ghost I knew a guy. Used to be best friends. We were a pair of hippies. He was always into guns, but not radically at first.

He changed along the way. Became fascist, more of a gun radical. We were no longer friends at this point.

Then he caught Lyme Disease and went to 2nd stage. It did something to his brain. He went from a radical to an extremist and was willing to go on a shooting rampage for anyone who tried to take his guns.

Then he caught Covid and died.

Moral of the story. People with low or impaired brain function are MUCH more likely to turn extremist. I witnessed a decades worth of transition first hand.
