Nobody defended the Republicans, in fact the premise of the comment you are replying to is about how bad the Republicans are and how they need to be resisted.

How do you plan on resisting once you've been disarmed? Just vote out fascism? ...Yeah that's always worked.

The only reason you would want to be disarmed, is so that you have an excuse for your passivity.

You seem to be arguing against a point I haven't made.

But you are really committed to fearing that decades old bogeyman more than the wolf at your door it seems.
