    So what if someone doesn’t want to kill minorities but wants to buy guns and wants limited government involvement in the economy?

      Then they don’t vote R.

      I put the lives of people over my personal need for luxury items like guns.

      Republicans are also the government that involves themselves the most in everything. “Small gov”-republicans are a farce unless you want a dictator.

        The point is you’re talking in extremes. And I will agree extreme liberals are better than extreme conservatives, the world isn’t that black and white, especially when you talk about voting for anyone besides President.

      Limited government involvement in the economy means wanting to kill poor people, which means wanting to kill minorities.

      Do you have any actual policies that you agree with? Having guns and not killing minorities are not policies, that’s just culture war shit.

        With the left or the right?

        A few things I side with: universal healthcare, reduced military spending, gay rights, legalization of marijuana, gun rights, reduced government spending in the business sector, reducing/overhauling the current farm bill, increased infrastructure spending.

        Since you need to know? I said that because that’s how the person I was replying to put it, not me.

      If you go far enough left, you get your guns back. Libertarian socialism or Anarcho-communism might be your jam if you want to limit/abolishn the state

      The point is the ones u end up supporting for buying guns will want to kill minorities with those guns ! And govt involvement in economy in the US might be the minimum except when it comes to rescue the rich !

        So the only reason anyone buys a gun is to kill minorities?

        And while the scope is small vs even smaller gov in the US, the difference is still there. To say it doesn’t matter is frankly ignorant.

      Then it sounds like they’re an anarcho-communist. Ancoms believe in an armed revolution to dismantle the government and protect minority rights. That fits all three of the things you described.
