All these people claiming 'take my gun from cold dead hands', are only ever one gun law away from having to hand it in themselves and to pay for the privilege
Wow, couldn't have said it better myself.
"Cold dead hands" is a nullmeme, like actually saying "beep boop!" out-loud in a crowd. The purpose is its noise. It stops the thought from following. Disconnects words from actions by giving people a little dopamine rush on the hypothetical. Like kids who try to eat dessert before dinner. It's a placeholder for cowardice, and with every invocation, makes the action its connected to less and less likely to happen. Sort of like the reverse of a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Likewise with "I lost my guns in a boating accident."
Or
"molon labe."
etc.
Anyone thats serious about these phrases doesn't need to say them and in fact it doesn't make any sense to say them, unless they were standing right in front of communists attempting to disarm them.
The left has a clear plan to replace us, yes, and the right doesn't even have an appeal to tradition. It has an appeal to a sliding window, back to 2010. And before that back to 2000, or 1990. The GOP is the party of "whoa! what in tarnation! Slow down their buddy! Not in my backyard...not yet anyway!"
The GOP builds the safespace, a cry closet, for the base to run into when things are changing to fast, charges the base to enter, promises to fight the outsiders (all the fags not in the closet), while the base is in the closet, and then the base sits in the closet while the GOP does fuck all but makes scary noises and hoots and hollers at the otherside, all from the containment box of its tiny establishment-apportioned guardhouse.
After the base gets done hollering "thats right! Go get em!, Winning!", and gets over being angry about the left, they come out, grumble, and begrudgingly learn to exist with the way things have changed yet again.
And all some of us want to see is someone proverbially pour gasoline on the safespace and the false party that constructed it, and then light it on fire.
