Again, you're an apologist for white nationalism.

Again, you are a white nationalism apologist. The problem here is you.

There comes a point when you become just a white nationalism apologist. As such, you can go fuck yourself.

No one said otherwise. But you won't have this congress and this SCOTUS forever.

And again, it is basic legal reform. It is not some hard problem. And since nearly every Western country has both universal health care and gun control, it is pretty feasible for those ideas to spread to the US at some point. All your doing is apologizing for the modern incarnation of racist violence.

The point is that opposition to both is not some permanent feature of the US government. Nor will the SCOTUS always be far right.

As the saying goes, "this too shall pass." No one can say when, but major political shifts always happen after a while.

When half the country is literally fascist, sure you can admit it isn't going to happen anytime soon. But that is a temporary phenomenon. Eventually, all of them will die. At some point, the US will be a country run by normal people. You're going to have large-scale agreement for major reforms.

How many countries have pulled it off? It's laughable to think it is impossible here. Everything I've suggested has already been implemented elsewhere. It's pretty logical to assume it can happen here too.

Because everything today is exactly as it was when the US constitution was first ratified...

This is anti-progress thinking. It's laughable that you actually think basic legal reforms can't happen.

It's the same story as every other form of cruelty or injustice in American history. People look abroad, realize that such a problem never existed or was solved elsewhere, and eventually will push for the same type of reform in the US.

It doesn't matter how long it takes or how hard it is. It's the same story as every other big accomplish of the past, whether it's ending slavery or women's voting rights. They took decades to happen, but they all eventually happened.

Those things will all vanish eventually. We currently have the most conservative SCOTUS in basically a century, and the Republican party is near-fascist politically. These are not sturdy foundations for a legal concept. The truth is, society has never accepted murder and cruelty as a necessary part of society. It's always just a handful of elitists or bigoted fanatics holding society back.

Eventually, many of our current laws and customs will become viewed as the next version of Jim Crow or anti-LGBT laws, and become so unpopular they get repealed. Some take decades to go down, but they always go down. The concept of gun rights will be one of them.
