       How is it the 2nd Amendment somehow means "you can't ban guns" but the 1st Amendment doesn't mean "you can't ban books" ?

       @ThunderousProphet we can’t fight fascism with reason. They lie and confuse instead of having good faith discussions.

       @ThunderousProphet it’s how propaganda works. Against logic, because thinking is the enemy. The aim is precisely to confuse.

       @ThunderousProphet The issue is in the articles. Here's how "conservatives" look at it.(1) *You* can't ban *our* guns.(2) *We* can ban *your* books.See? No contradiction! It's Wilhoit's Law in action.“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."
