GOP knows how to "own the libs"

Post by bignflnut »

To be fair, Jennings doesn’t suggest giving in on an assault weapon ban or universal background checks. However, he does call for an update to the NICS check. The problem with that is we just updated the system. If they couldn’t get it fixed then, why spend the money now just a year later?

He does, however, back red flag laws and thinks the president should do the same. He also calls for a resolution condemning “all groups that use political rhetoric to justify violence, whether they are white nationalists, eco-fascists or antifa vigilantes.” Which is fine, but it won’t win Trump any friends on the left. They’ll blow off such a resolution as if it’s meaningless. After all, it kind of is. It’s not a law or anything, just words that won’t change anyone’s minds about anything.

The problem with Jennings’ line of thinking here is simple. He wants to “own the libs” by giving them something they desperately want while getting absolutely nothing in return. Does that make a lick of sense to anyone?

Time and time again, gun owners have been told we need to compromise, but that compromise is really just they take a little less than they want. We have never gotten any benefit from any of the compromises that have been reached. What Jennings is proposing, what he’s framing as “owning the libs,” is nothing more than yet another example of us giving them something they want and getting nothing in return.
Yes, this is the 39-D underwater, upside-down, chained in a straitjacket chess strategy laid bare...

Reminds me of when Paul Ryan became Speaker and gave the Dems everything they wanted in the budget right away. I’ve never seen Nancy Pelosi so happy or surprised.

Or when Jumpin Jim Jeffords left the GOP in the Senate, and the GOP decided it would only be fair to share the majority. That was a huge success, especially at the next elections.
