Vigilance is one thing, but we run scared after every mass shooting in response to democrats' actions and despite our claims of how inept they are.
They aren't inept. If they had truly largely failed as claimed, we would not be reacting as we are.
Never underestimate the opposition.
I think you may be confusing the local (state) stage with the national stage.
We have very little control over what kind of people others states send to Washington. I didn't get too freaked out even when Trump started saying stupid things on TV because in the current climate I don't expect much to happen. I still notified some elected officials that I didn't want anything to happen. And I don't think it is our state legislature that is a threat to our 2A rights.
The subject of the "blue wave" posts are related to the dems repeated claims that they are about to flip Texas blue, and those of us commenting on the stupidity of such a claim are commenting only on that statement.
