Well first off if that's your attitude why should anyone give a damn about anybody's rights? Here's the thing though all that BS about taking your gun rights or your freedom of speech rights is pure bs. Sure there are some extremists on the far left that might want to see everyone's guns taken away but whether you realize it or not there are more then just a few Democrats that own guns. The vast majority of the Democrats are Centrists and they have no delusions about taking peoples guns. All they want to do is make it harder for nut jobs that go into schools and shopping malls to shoot up innocent people and that is a legislative change that is supported by a majority of Americans both on the right and the left. As for your freedom of speech I've yet to see any politician put forth legislation that denies people their freedom to speech you're probably getting that twisted with Freedom to do whatever you please and call it free speech which it isn't. That would be freedom of expression at best and freedom of expression is not a constitutionally protected right. If it is then Republicans are just as guilty when they talk about police and national guard forcibly stopping people from rioting or looting. Now mind you I'm not saying that is a right but I bet if we took a close look at how you feel Democrats are taking your right to free speech we could then make the same case against Republicans.

As for taking people's right to vote, 19 Republican states have now passed in the last year new legislation that does just that, mostly from people of color.


About that freedom of speech...

House committee in Florida passes 'Don't Say Gay' bill
https://thehill.com/changing-america...t-say-gay-bill

The Parental Rights in Education bill, also known as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, passed Thursday in the House Education and Employment Committee largely along party lines.

“This bill is about defending the most awesome responsibility a person can have: being a parent,” Florida state Rep. Joe Harding (R), who first introduced the bill, said Thursday. “That job can only be given to you by above.”

Certainly, you are familiar with how the ability to vote is being restricted for Native Americans living on tribal lands.

most reservations don't have street names/house numbers, both of which are required to be a "valid address" in order to register to vote, whether in person or by mail. i doubt seriously he is aware, or cares.

It's super easy to see how rep states are making voting harder for Blacks and minorities. Asking that question is asssine. The OH SC just told them to redo their racist maps.

The Dems are so dumb they don't know a set up when they see it. Trump has nothing that they will find but the purpose of getting his records is so there is plenty of precedent to get the Dems records too.

And i hope they put Trump in as speaker when they take control of the house. Oh the PAIN that would bring.......

He would have to be a member of Congress first.

How exactly have people of color lost their right to vote? Do you have any details or is it the typical voting ID argument?

When you enact requirements you know are difficult or impossible for a certain group of people to meet it has the same effect as taking away their rights.

Since you only value rights you care about let me put it to you like this what if a law was passed that said you could only get a gun legally one day of the week and you had to travel half way across the state to get to the only store you were allowed to buy one even though there was a gun store in a nearby town that just happened to be in a different district then yours. Further what if the only way you could get to that town on that one day was an incredible hardship for you and the only way possible might be to take off from work on a day your employer won't allow you to take off just to buy a gun and losing that job was not an option for you because of the financial impact that would be caused while you attempted to find a comparable job to replace the one you would lose if you took off to go to that one gun store half way across the state on that one day you were allowed. Wouldn't you feel that the government was passing laws that take away your right to own a gun legally?

I don't pay attention to politics anymore, most of my free time is invested reading stock charts and stock market news.

Oh so then all that stuff about the Democrats taking away your 1st and 2nd Amendment rights is just bs you're making up while you are watching stock market news? Thanks for being honest.

Empty rhetoric.

How so, he claims he's sick and tired of the Democrats trying to take away his 2nd Amendment rights and his right to Free Speech (without siting any evidence to support such claims.) Then a couple of posts later he claims he doesn't even really pay attention to politics because he's too busy watching stock market news. I am just calling out his bs.

Words of a spoiled boomer.

There’s a difference between self want and want for country. You whine about your rights while doing nothing for your country. You live off of your dad. Drink stolen beer while complaining about theft. That’s the difference between you and me.

Im saying I haven't payed any attention since about 6 months, many democrats want a ban on semiautomatic rifles aka "assault rifles".

I don't believe for a second that black people can't go to the bmv and get a state ID. I highly doubt they have to travel very far.
