The American Right (the fascists) and Left (the communists) have both done this, not just the Right. Extremist voters on both sides of the aisle are used by higher interests to stoke chaos and division. You can thank Rome for doing that perfectly.
I do agree on the safety course before buying a gun, though.
The amount of violence perpetrated by the American Right is statistically significant in recent years. The opposite is not as significant.
That said, of course I agree itβs the rich vs us.
