so remember during the BLM movement there was a march that went through a gated community (IIRC), and this dumpy little dude and his wife came out to their front lawn with an AR-15 & little pew pew pistol-bith brandishing it like they've never ever picked them up before but regardless, there they were, armed and ready to shoot someone or something.
now imagine that scenario with MAGA going in to a liberal gated community....what do you think would happen?
My money is on the MAGAs shooting (or worse) the couple who were just .... incredulous and indignant about the whole thing up until they died.
America is ugly now, it will get a whole lot worse when they start shooting each other while those with means escape the chaos.
My guess? The couple wouldn't bring any guns out to begin with, mostly because MAGA protesters would be white.
Liberal communities have plenty of racism. It just happens through ignorance & a lack of thinking instead of direct malice.
