What do you call a political leader who goes out of his way to target his political opponents, to persecute and harass them, and, in general, make their lives a living hell?
Answer: Joe Biden.
I’m only partially kidding there. The answer is a tyrant (or a would-be tyrant), and Joe Biden already fit the description of a “would-be tyrant.”
But, now, Biden has gone even more out of this way to harass people who disagree with his policies (and, no, we’re not talking about targeting January 6th protesters in this case). No, this is a new effort to persecute political conservatives. Tom Ozimek writes,
The Biden administration is setting up a national center to provide training and technical assistance to help police, prosecutors, judges, and others implement “red flags” laws more effectively to take away guns from Americans “who pose a threat to themselves or others,” drawing criticism from some conservatives.
Ozimek continues:
The announcement of the red flag center drew immediate criticism from some lawmakers, Second Amendment advocates, and others.
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) was blunt with his criticism in a post on X, in which he called the project “evil.”
“What the hell is this evil? A Federal Red Flag center; We did not authorize this,” he wrote.
Conservative political activist Laura Loomer said in a post on X that she believes the new program would be used to target Trump supporters.
“Oh look. The DOJ just created a program to red flag Trump supporters at the same time they are allowing for illegals to have guns,“ she wrote. ”We all know this will only be used against Trump supporters, so let’s just call it what it is. A red flag database to disarm MAGA. Communism.”
God bless Thomas Massie, and Laura Loomer is absolutely right. Red flag laws are sold to voters using the excuse of safety, but the reality is that they are used to disarm legal gun owners without due process. Which means that, since political conservatives tend to be the ones legally owning guns, red flag laws are ripe for abuse by using them against political conservatives.
And, now, Biden is pushing that on a nationwide level.
Who is the real deplorable here? It’s certainly not political conservatives.
The American people deserve better than the clown show in the White House that we have right now.
