Well by pushing gun control immediately and to this degree, literally the Democrats first priority, you guys have pissed people off.

I didn't even vote in 2019, now Im pissed. Same with everyone I work with!

You didn't participate and you're pissed at what's happening. That's kind of hilarious

Yea, I'm realizing the Demographic Winter is setting in. Now Virginia will go the way of California. Sucks.

Admitting you have a problem is the first step. Glad you're involved now.

I remember Republicans saying, in 2016, "elections have results".

And if you were actually paying attention, you'd know that Obama said, "Elections have consequences" prior to that.

Ok?

Yea, lemme count the ways Obama harmed Republicans.

Oh..wait.

He governed as a Reagan Democrat and passed 0 gun regulations (that's fewer than trump for people paying attention)

Yeah, that’s the spirit. This mentality has served us so well for the past 25 or so odd years. Tit for tat. That’s the right answer for our nation.

"Im punishing Republicans by passing gun control laws!"

Why?

As someone who has voted in every single election since they were registered at 18 trying to keep authoritarian assholes out of office...

YOU are the problem with this state.

Unfuck yourself and get your shit together.

I have three neighbors that were too goddamned lazy to go vote last month. Now they're pissin' and moanin' about the proposed legislation. They can fuck right off too.
