GEN 2 Life and job change, do I keep the Raptor?

It’s hilarious that you guys let your hate of other people’s politics shape your lives. Both sides. I lean left with most things, and right with some others. I could easily live in a conservative area. Western PA isn’t exactly NYC or LA. Hating those you disagree with just causes you heartburn. Read BadgerBoobs post. MA has all kinds. Most places do. Can’t we stop demonizing the folks we disagree with? Everyone comes from different backgrounds and has different experiences. This is America. We’re all in this together. Change comes slow no matter which direction you think it should go.

Although I agree with you that we should all get along, it seems like the vocal left has zero tolerance for anything with a right slant to it. I say “vocal left” because it’s the 10% of radicals on the far left that are being heard and making policy, while the 90% that are more moderate don’t seem to have a voice. It’s their way or you’re a racist/sexist/transfobic and horrible person who needs to be punished by cancelling you with your employer/friends/community. People on the vocal left demand acceptance instead of tolerance of whatever weird shit they want to be into. The vocal left seems to think that anyone who voted for Trump is uneducated and wrong on basically any policy. The vocal left riot and pull down statues while blaming all their issues on historical injustice and are demanding special treatment based on the color of someone’s skin (seems racist, no?). I think 90% of the normal people who consider themselves left are reasonable and moderate, but without a voice they are failing to control their own party. Both parties have been shifting left for several cycles now. The left is getting to the fringes while the right is becoming the moderate party. If the right had a less repulsive candidate this election cycle wouldn’t even be a contest. I support Trump’s policies, his policies have been and continue to be the best for the country, unfortunately the man can’t seem to get out of his own way with some of the dumb stuff he does.

People on the right seem to want to be left alone to live their lives, work, and support their families. I don’t see the right engaging in cancel culture, doxing those they disagree with, and generally being crybabies like those on the vocal left. There are plenty of policies that I think the left is correct on, but the Second Amendment isn’t negotiable to me, and never will be.

If the left gets into power and we as a country turn into California or one of the other failing democrat states, America will cease to exist as we know it. This election is probably the most important one I’ve been alive for because the vocal left isn’t hiding their racial socialist views, and if they gain power now America will be permanently changed.

Take up surf fishing. Between running on the sand and the nasty ass winters up there, you'll be glad you did.
You'll end up buying a another 4X4 anyway, and none of them stack up to the Raptor.
It's obviously not a question of money since you'll be making more, but in all fairness the cost of living is higher in MA.
You'll be sitting in a plain old F150 and cursing yourself for selling the beast.

BTW.....an auto depreciates the most in the first year.

You claim to agree and embody everything I mentioned. Detailing every hyperbolic characterization of the people you disagree with. Cancel culture is a product of social media, not the left. Trump himself condemns American companies that don’t cowtow to his politics. This environment is toxic. And you just outlined most of it yourself. Everything you said about the ‘left’ can be demonstrated about the vocal right. And those voices aren’t coming from those who want to be left alone.

Well said!
Trump's biggest problem is that he's not a politician and politicians hate him.
Do you realize that AOC will be eligible to run for president in 2024................Oh Shit!

Enough politics.

You bozos do realize she’s a fringe of the party right? Or are you that ignorant? Warren didn’t even get the party’s support and she’s experienced and competent. Y’all let Ted Cruz and Rand Paul run last time. Nobody thinks they have a chance either. Why all the fear mongering?

enough politics.

Demonstrate which extremist groups the right is endorsing, then do the same for the left. There are some extremist groups that claim to endorse the right, but the right doesn’t want nor reciprocate their endorsement. There are plenty of socialist and racial extremist groups that the left endorses in the name of social justice. The left seems to feel entitled to get their way no matter what, and spineless companies are donating millions to BLM to hopefully avoid their wrath while BLM protesters loot their stores. I’m not saying that every black life doesn’t matter, but I am saying that BLM is a bunch of anti white racist thugs trying to get special status and they are supported by the Democrat party and hundreds of corporations.

Trump lashing out at corporations setting a double standard where left political messaging is fine but right political messaging is prohibited is understandable. Set a single standard, either both are prohibited or both are fine.

Yeah, I’ll fit in great in Ma...

You’re double talking and I can’t even tell what you’re talking about. You hate the left. But you don’t even know what you hate about them so you make up your own boogeyman. Trumpism. He’s an incompetent narcissist and has made our country weaker and more divided.
The right is endorsing proud boys, and many other white nationalist groups to counter the BLM movement which is not extremist. Militias showing up with guns to peaceful demonstrations is extremists. Valuing the ability of police to shoot suspects over due process is not law and order. It just isn’t. This is America. Executions on the street is not law and order.

im sorry. I’m rambling. It’s a thought train but I sincerely disagree with your characterization of your Perceived opponents.

Um, yeah.

This thread has become a bit unproductive. I’m sorry. @Big Blue

If you want to own an AR that is legal in MA, you can purchase this. Great gun, I purchased a couple of them in NY.
