Even when we should agree, we don't!

This is a time where the left and the right should agree.

This is supposedly the entire point behind right wingers love for the 2nd amendment. When we believe government gets out of hand; when we believe they’ve gone too far; when we believe it’s gonna get worse.

Well, we believe government has gone too far (again). We believe an employee of the government has overstepped his boundaries when he needlessly took someone’s life. We believe government has gone too far when they attack peaceful protesters.

Yet, when we believe that law enforcement, employees of the government, has gone too far, we’re snowflakes. We’re the snowflakes when we believe that government has overstepped its boundaries. We’re the snowflakes when we take over the streets. We’re the snowflakes when we take out our guns and our sticks to demand that we be treated equally and when we demand that our lives not be in jeopardy all the time.

They’re the Christian patriots when they take their guns out and march for their profits. We’re the snowflake thugs when we march for our lives.
