It is hard to keep track of the MAGA narrative, but this is approximately where we are at:

Anyone should have the right to carry a gun, because that is what freedom is all about. And if ICE decides to execute someone who is carrying a gun, that must mean that said person is a terrorist.

Make it make sense.

@randahl I think I recently saw someone else here on Mastodon reply to your scenario. It went:

"For us the freedoms. For them the law."

To me, that unsurprisingly follows the familiar pattern of fascism and authoritarian rule.

@randahl I guess it may be us/them split. "Anyone of us can carry a gun (to protect us from them), but if anyone of them is carrying a gun they are clearly terrorist (threat to us)".

@kuba @randahl of course it's fine for any of them to carry a gun, that's how Kyle Rittenhouse became a MAGA celebrity.

@randahl Isn't doublethink to hold two completely conflicting viewpoints in your head simultaneously because that's what the Party told you to do?

These right-wing "christian" nationalists have a "biblical world view," so the world is 6,000 y/o, tops - and they have the carbon-dated remains of Jesus's burial shroud to prove he was indeed resurrected. 🙄 (Again: doublethink.)

It's the End Times! They'll soon be swept into heaven + Satan will be vanquished, so fuck all y'all losers.

@randahl Yup, a bit the point of this guy.

@randahl but ICE ain't allowed to impersonate to be police, just look at all the "ice agents" what it says on their military uniforms... I'm just waiting for someone to open fire upon them when they try to break into the persons home without having a real warrant from a judge.

I can make it make sense in its own logic universe.

Trumps says or does something - its True and Great by the mere fact that it was done by him. No ifs, no buts.

This has now been extended to his proxys - in this case ICE.
The only way it can be wrong is when Trump declares it wrong...I wouldn't hold your breath.

So the 2nd amendment still stands but ICE will always be correct in their actions by the mere fact that it was ICE taking the action.

It makes a lot of sense. It was best explained in this thread:

Again, they're nazis. And you don't understand what that means yet. You don't even understand that their concept of TRUTH, does not line up with yours at all. They believe, truth is power, and power is truth. They do not "talk to you" to establish an agreed upon reality; they talk to you to try and create a climate where their ideology is supreme because, and I can't stress this enough - they do not fucking care about anything but power.

@randahl It makes total sense. ”*We* have constitutional rights to protect us from *them*. *They* have no rights to protect annything annd are terrorists if they assert any rights.”

And their head goon, Mr Bovino, just reminds me of something with his chest strap and his long coat. Can’t put my finger on it, might be tied to my German upbringing, but the has a certain aes-a-thetic fit. Just turn down the saturation and you’ll get there.
