I see a lot of people outside the USA confused at why we have autocrat when we have gun. I will explain to you the three main archetypes we're dealing with. First is the has gun, is pro autocrat. They supported this mess in and will die to defend it. The has gun, is against autocrat. They worked against this through the system because the third group said to do so and limits their ability to be effective. The third group has no gun, but wants stability still. They impeded the second group from doing anything because they will pearl grab and support the first when the second tries to do so. It has happened in the past and will in the future. Until that third group gets their collective craniums out of their rectums they'll impede the second group and support the first indirectly.
We're not confused. We know exactly why. We're just calling out the bullshit we've been listening to for decades when Americans defend having guns in the aisles of Walmart. The idea that it would ever stop a malicious government was crap.
Again, those people are have gun, fine with their autocrat. Not all gun owners are like that, there's more nuance than what I said but the general picture to understand is there.
They had gun, because liberal freedom is fascist imposition of freedom on the gun owners. Their autocrat is there to protect them from other people's freedom.
