Whatever happened to all the American leftists who love second amendment and love to quote Marx's 'Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary'?

You on the right post? Or are you saying we should commit an insurrection over who got elected into office? Because that didn’t go so well the last time it was tried

I'm asking why do self proclaimed leftists say those things but do nothing when their country is sliding into fascism?

Don't forget that MAGAt lawmakers in Ohio are ignoring the voters in recent abortion rights amendment and not a single republican as called them out on it.

So please don't equate this to MAGA cultists rejecting results of legitimate elections. GOP is time and again undermining the American democracy.
