“I’m a gun owner; Tim Walz is a gun owner,” Harris said.

“I did not know that,” Winfrey replied.

“If somebody breaks into my house, they’re getting shot,” Harris added. “Probably should not have said that. But my staff will deal with that later.”

The article has a video clip. I love the bullshit “probably…” It’s a 100% certainty she spoke with her staff and workshopped the phrasing and presentation of gun stuff. Plus I bet she practiced her lines. No American politician is going to wing it when talking about guns.

I have a hypothesis that burgerland’s “everyone should own a gun and be ready to use it at the drop of a hat” culture was cultivated as part of the white yeoman farmer ideal so that the burger regime could offload as much of the genocide work as possible onto the average settler. I think you’re more spot on than you intended.

This is not a theory really, if you look into Hitler’s whole “generalplan ost” thing he planned to have nazi settlers set up farmsteads and do “defend their land” type shit. It all makes perfect sense ngl.

One of the best kind of leftist moments is when you come to a conclusion you think is original only to find out someone discovered it decades ago and put it better than you ever could.
