We can kick the broader topic around all day, be happy to, but I'm wondering if many liberals have changed their view. I've seen a great many posts on lemmy stating just that, but is a sea change coming?

During the first Trump administration, and maybe continuing until today, LGBT, blacks and women, taken as a whole, were the top gun purchasing demographic. I've posted that fact dozens of times over the years, both here and on reddit. I'm betting that caused some cognitive dissonance!

"We love trans people!"

"They sure are buying shitloads of guns! And they're most welcome to the community!"

"..."

While we're at it, notice how ICE is targeting non-armed areas like NYC and LA? OTOH, that may be to punish liberal areas. Both?

Anyway, I have a brown, legal, immigrant wife, so I have a dog in this fight.

"Many of these people came to work at Federal Programs to defend aspects of our constitutional system," said one lawyer who left the unit during Trump's second term. "How could they participate in the project of tearing it down?"
