74. why would you invent dumb shit and pretend I said it?
If a society is so damned patriarchal, so dominant, abusive, and in wait of end-time disaster, why would its male members command "their" women to get guns?

I give up; why would they? Who said they did?

Its white, male members are busy URGING African-Americans to get guns, too. And disseminating the demagoguery that is designed to persuade them to do so.

Because it is in the right wing's interest to persuade people whose interests they don't give a shit about to believe that the right wing has their interests at heart.

That way, they're just a whole lot less likely to notice what interests the right wing really does have at heart, and maybe do something to obstruct its agenda and act in their own interests, which are not the right wing's interests at all.

Duh.
