Fascism, despotic or whatever you want to call it, is bi-partisan.
I see it with leftists groups like the BLM and antiFa (and their fascists predecessors).
I see it with the Nazi style movements.
I see it with some parts of the religious movements including Christian, Jewish and Islamic.
I see it with our media and social websites.
I see anyone in this country that is against the rights that our Constitution provides as Anti-American and despotic in nature.
The Constitution provides us with ways to modify, change the Constitution. Those that not change it the right way but try to go around it are the same as traitors. I will not use traitor directly because it has a technical meaning.
When I think of the Governor of Virginia then I think traitor or traitor like. Same with Hillary Clinton. Same with Bernie Sanders. Same with Elizabeth Warren. Now if they were simply involved in an effort to change the Constitution, then they would be doing that legally and I would just be in opposition. They know that Americans will not support their Socialism so they try a slower method of chipping away at the Constitution.
So they try to force us to give up our 2nd Amendment rights, pay fines for not buying a product because we are simply breathing and now take away our wealth during our life and in our death.
Mine's similar. There are those who believe they know better what's good for others and can control the universe and everything and everyone in it. And those who see man as flawed.

Many a despot killed by a free armed citizenry will also agree with your hate of the idea...as they look up from hell.
You completely disagree with me because you know an armed citizen with military caliber ammunition and a military caliber rifle is the biggest threat to a despot that ever existed.
My Turkish friends have an old saying...
" The best three things a man can have is a good sword, a good horse, and a good wife".
They modernized it a bit to say " a good rifle, a good car, and a good wife".
The sword and rifle are mentioned first because with them you can keep the other two from being taken away.
The first thing a despot does is disarm those they wish to subjugate.
A citizen who has a modern military caliber rifle and knows how to use it keeps them up at night.
Potential despots just hate the kind of freedom I just described in both cases.
1. The freedom to vote their own choice in an election,
and...
2. The freedom to have a case of military caliber ammunition delivered right to my front door.
What a concept !!!

I measure people politically based upon how controlling they are. How much do they favor needless control of other people's behavior and choices.
This measurement transcends lib vs con and cuts to the real heart of the matter. How much does one want to force their will upon others?
