“I’m a gun owner; Tim Walz is a gun owner,” Harris said.
“I did not know that,” Winfrey replied.
“If somebody breaks into my house, they’re getting shot,” Harris added. “Probably should not have said that. But my staff will deal with that later.”
The article has a video clip. I love the bullshit “probably…” It’s a 100% certainty she spoke with her staff and workshopped the phrasing and presentation of gun stuff. Plus I bet she practiced her lines. No American politician is going to wing it when talking about guns.
Ah yes, the American dream of being able to murder a threatening stranger.
Life is cheap in the Burger Reich.
It’s so obviously performative when they each have a battalion of secret service on security detail. If they pulled a gun out and started wandering the halls of their houses, they are more likely to cause a friendly fire incident than stop an intruder
it was today that Harris became presidential
I can hear the switches flipping in lib brains in order to support this.
They showed themselves to have no moral compasses when it comes to genocide. Their true colors are that they’re weathervanes.
Their compasses are like in Pirates of the Caribbean, they just point to whatever they want most. Which, regrettably, is just The Status Quo…or perhaps Brunch if they haven’t had one in a while

This will win over fascist republicans who fuck their guns!Big brain moves.
Totally not unhinged thing for a public official to say.
zzzzzzzzzz
I assume the redditor who wrote the following is aware of actual leftist gun ownership. But I’m certain the average redditor sees “the other side” only thinks of liberals.
I think a lot of right wingers would be surprised to find out how many gun owners and enthusiasts there are on the other side.

The sheer fact that you Americans all talk about having the ability to end someone’s life on a whim like it’s a completely normal and expected ability for someone to have never ceases to blow my fucking mind.
Such casual discussion of shooting someone isn’t normal anywhere else in the Western world. It’s so normalised in your hyper-violent, paranoid, narcissistic culture that none of you realise that to the outside observer you all sound like psychopaths.

As someone who grew up in the US, I remember having a realization one day that I wasn’t ever going to kill anyone. That killing someone was just not a realistic thing to expect to happen at some point. I was in my early 20s lol. This country so ingrains the expectation and necessity of violent interaction. Just a deeply psychopathic nation
This is why I think it’s so funny that the guys at the gun range laugh at me using plain old bullseye targets for practice
I’m not practicing to shoot some random guy busting into my house (a stern talking to and a baseball bat would suffice)
That and I think they’d probably freak if I brought the Klansman target sheets I bought
Lmao, everyone talking about how fucked Americans are in the head and how pathetic their home defense wet dreams are is buried in downvotes
Settler-colonizer brain dies hard
For real. It was such a weird moment realizing that my entire life and childhood up to that point was putting this idea in my head.
Second comment is on point.
This oprah thing was so full of pandering to republicans. Is oprah republican now or something?
Oprah gave several right wing grifters their big breaks, like Doctor Oz and Rhonda Byrne (the author of The Secret)
I forgot about dr oz…damn what a sleazebag she is
I assume she considers herself “pragmatic” so that would make her a pragmatic democrat which is effectively always means republican.
She is also a massively wealthy capital owner. Even if she isn’t a registered republican she wants the status quo to protect her own interests.
On my memes from 2011 shit

Idk, I think it’d be good to leave Tyson’s visage in the dustbin
Under the Amerikan Hegemony, prospective Warlords-in-chief bragged about their personal and political ability to brutalize individuals and nations. The imperial citizens, as a rule, would not find anything strange with these boasts. In fact, they would cheer them on.
Harris gunning down a lost drunk man who thinks it’s his own home
In younger days I’ve been that drunk man (well didn’t enter the home but definitely tried loudly to open the door for a minute not realizing the street I was on); Makes me proud to be an American that the current VP and Democrat candidate for the President of the United States of America might have shot me dead that day to raucous applause of Oprah-watchers.
Oops, what is this sexy nude of me doing in my presentation slide deck?
That shouldn’t be there! …But I know you didn’t mind.
