    a fun thing about the trump era is how i have read a million pieces about how liberals shouldn’t condescend to trump voters but have yet to read anything about how trump supporters like this guy shouldn’t fantasize about murdering their fellow citizens
    Getting my boys trained up on how to use a gun in the unlikely event @BernieSanders beats @realDonaldTrump in 2020. In which case knowing how to effectively use a gun under socialism will be a must. By the way most the head shots were theirs. @NRA @WatchChad #2ndAmendment
