The MAGA cult wants you to believe that the people in the image do not exist. They want you to believe that gun ownership on the left is nearly non-existent, and that those on the left who DO own firearms are certainly not proficient with them. They don't want you to believe this to convince YOU — they want you to believe this because they are f***ing terrified of what's in this image.

This is a counterprotest organized by a John Brown Gun Club chapter. There was a MAGA demonstration going on, and they showed up and made their presence known. There was no violence that day. And if I had to make an educated guess, I'd say these folks being armed is a major reason there was no violence. Because again, MAGA is a movement for cowards.

The simple FACT is that most right-wing nuts only feel tough when they have the upper hand. When they see photos like this, they have to call them fake, minimize their meaning, or claim these people couldn't possibly know how to use firearms. Because when the field is level, those on the right are absolutely scared out of their miniscule, drug-addled brains.

Let's be honest, the entire conservative movement is about fear. They project masculinity and courage — particularly on Facebook — but every belief they have stems from a fear of something. They create their own reality. It's why elections are "rigged," news is "fake," science is "biased," education is "indoctrination," and protesters are "paid."

Are there tough guys on the right? Absolutely. But the feigned toughness and masculinity you see on Facebook? The little men claiming the folks in this image would be dispatched posthaste? The ones who slide into the comments and your inbox with threats — convincing themselves they're tough because they talked trash on FACEBOOK?

That makes up the MAJORITY of MAGA. For f*** sake, look at their leader: a flabby, old man who has to pay for sex and never had to work a day in his life. That's why they NEED this image to be fake. They NEED these gun owners to be inexperienced. They NEED those rifles to be .22s or "dildos" (yep, that's a common reply from them in my comments).

Furthermore, they need an armed left to not exist... because if one does, there's nothing that makes them more dangerous than us. And in their petrified little brains, that's more terrifying than a familial blood test at a MAGA themed wedding.

Get armed. Get trained. Stand back and stand by.
