It seems that the MAGA movement is earily similar to what I learned about the Nazis before Hitler took office? Like blind obedience and hatred toward certain groups? Or am I wrong? Why? (lemmy.world)

The only portion that is well armed are the Republicans. Democrats spent the last thirty years demonizing gun ownership and enacting laws to restrict people from purchasing them.

Only a pathetically insignificant number of Leftists own firearms, including myself. And even fewer spend any time per month training with them, and may as well donate them to Republicans because even the most operator-level ergonomic high tech guns are worthless paperweights without regular training.
