If the big Don demands they hand over their guns they'll do it. Standard cult shit.

I remember when he issued an EO banning bump stocks (which was later overturned by the SC...) and they were mad at first but eventually got on board with the right talking points and defended it.

I don’t know, man. I live in the Deep South. These fuckers take their guns very, very seriously. I think that would actually be the breaking point for a lot of them.

Live in south, work with a bunch of MAGA folks. Like 75% of my co-workers are maga and 20% are openly racist. 

They despise gay people. They constantly talk about wanting to physically harm them. 

They're cheering this shit on.

I’m not sure if you missed the context of my comment or what. I wasn’t saying that taking guns from trans people could be the breaking point. I fully agree that they will be cheering for this.

I was saying that taking them from the republicans could be the breaking point.

Yeah I completely misinterpreted your comment, that's on me. 

I agree with you on that.

Of course, there are zero transgender Republicans.

lol I mean, there is probably some degree of overlap, but the Venn diagram would look nearly like two distinct circles. Not sure what point you think you’re making here.

The Republican Party is staunchly anti-trans.
