The NRA's Latest Video Is Insanely Paranoid, Like Donald Trump
The Second Amendment Ammosexuals are delicate snowflakes whose fee fees are very hurt by those who question the legitimacy of their dear leader, Donald J. Trump.
Seriously, who in the NRA organization could bemoan the virtues of the man who boasted he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and get away with it? Not Dana Loesch. She's deeply troubled by the opinions expressed by Americans exercising their First Amendment rights. She wants the Second Amendment fringe lunatics to grab some more guns and ammo to add to their impressive collections.
In just under one minute, Loesch proclaims that Trump is the victim of terribly unfair persecution. She complains of a political system that lacks legitimacy, even though the Republican party they serve has been complicit in delegitimizing our democracy. She complains of billionaires who seek to undermine the system and of course, she demonizes the "universities" where that awful education of people takes place.
The language is dramatic, almost Old Testament Biblical. Phrases like 'drive their daggers through the heart of our future' and 'so they can build their Utopia from the ashes of what they burned down.' Not only does the language get a bit excessive, the paranoia is evident by this gem: 'But the ultimate insult is that they think we're so stupid that we'll let them get away with it.' We don't think you're so stupid Dana.
