      I’m not talking about that, and ffs loosened gun regulation was one of the biggest agendas of the Trump campaign… not so much for the Democrats who took a 180 approach

        uhm you do understand that’s literally what the meme is talking about right?

        leftists generally don’t vote for dems - serious leftists aren’t anti-gun neocons - most are marxists-leninists, anarchists, maoists, anti-imperialists, etc - which very much recognize the need for individuals being able to defend themselves and their communities (look at the Black Panthers for an example)

        the fact that you think “left=gun control” only shows the state of political discourse and the impenetrable wool that’s been pulled in front of your eyes.

        note: this obvs doesn’t mean that leftists would have voted for trump because of his promises of laxed gun control (since that would be single-issue voting and you’d have to gloss over him being a racist, bigoted, capitalistic skid mark) but maybe if gun control was the sole reason you would vote for him but had a real leftist party that was pro-gun you might have gone for them instead (unless you agree with his hateful rhetoric ofc)
