Well let’s look at one parties platform for 2020
1. Lower voting age
2. Abandoning the electoral college
3. Reparations
4. Free college
5. Free health care
6. Guaranteed income $500 to $1000 a month
7. New Green Deal
8. Assault Weapon ban
9. Reenter the Paris agreement
10. Free child care
I would think a repealing the 2nd Amendment or gutting it would be a real possibility if you look at the platform.
This is about changing the government and the rules not about the government as it is now.
One has to think that President Obama would be considered a far right blue dog by today’s standard.
Hi there.
The answer to your question is "no".
I say yeah because (1) I understand the goals and the forces aligned to make it happen and (2) I've read how this ends up and (3) things are just a'clicking along faster all the time.
Does it happen in my lifetime? Don't know, my crystal ball isn't a Timex. But the wife was concerned so we had that discussion to leave no doubt as to what the priorities are.
I hope whoever wins will support the Paris agreement. That shouldn’t be a left/right dogma fight. Where’s Teddy Roosevelt when we need him?

It is very much a political battle. Have you wandered into the no global warming thread yet?
The Right to Bear Arms is not given by any government. It is a God-given right of man to protect himself and his family and possessions.
The 2nd Amendment does not give us anything. It is simply a law to prevent government from attempting to infringe our rights.
Your rights are your rights. What you do with them are up to you. If you surrender your rights that is your choice. If you defend your rights, that is your choice too. But the choice is yours.
And that is what scares the daylight out of me. The "WE"........who is the "we"?
Look at what is going on in this country. Look where we came from to where we are today. The "we" would frequently say...."nah, that will never happen here, this is the USA!"; all while it was happening.
Indoctrinating in all levels of education. Politicians who saw one thing and actually do another - and surprisingly they get elected AGAIN AND AGAIN. Cities and states making her own gun laws, so bizarre that when challenged in court, it's reduced to a "smaller" gun ban, less significant because of compromise. A man can marry a man and it's forced on society! You and your business is bankrupt because of legal fees when you stand for your religion and not bake a cake for a gay marriage. A child cannot say "bang bang" in a classroom without being suspended and sent for counseling! Dare not eat a Pop Tart into a shape of a gun - you can be kick out of grade school! Americans are electing muslim politicians into local, state and federal positions and these people are refusing to be sworn in on a bible. If you are a white individual, regardless of anything, you are a privileged individual and basically a racist. If you are patriotic, putting your country first, you are white nationalist (just happened to me 3 days ago). The democratic party (of no more) is now a blatant anti-American socialist party that wants to remove our constitution!
Oh, let's not forget, Trump had to write an EO to have free speech on college campuses. YEP, in the USA!
SO MANY MORE.....all because "we" allow them. The socialists (we have no more demoncrats) want to dilute our country in order to dilute the "we"; and in doing so will get the job done. Don't say it cannot happen; it's going on as I write this post. It's called a bloodless coup; and it's real. I pray not, but if a drop of blood is ever shed and caused from any of the "we", "they" will have the excuse, the reason and the backing to "take them" from us. I pray "we" stand together and prevent this by our votes and voices and not anyone's blood. We need to keep this administration in office......it's our only hope for now.
When it is said, "If WE allow them"; I get concerned.
First off, let's review the entirety of my post you quoted:And that is what scares the daylight out of me. The "WE"........who is the "we"?

I like and subscribe to that mentality.
Realistically though, there are more and more that DO NOT believe in God. Sadly, these folks are elected and appointed to positions of authority in higher numbers every day...
Bingo. There's something I've explained to people many times.
No God means no rights.
I don't necessarily think this is true. I don't believe in God, but I also understand that self-defense is an unalienable right and one not provided by man or government.
Call it a God given right, call it a natural right, call it a human right. No matter how it's phrased, even atheists are capable of understanding the concept.
Today? There has been legalized or sanctioned slaughter throughout human history. The excuses may change, but that fact remains. That has been true across the globe no matter the religious views of the people, with very few groups not participating in some form.I can certainly understand this view. My view is that without God there can be no true freedom, because all that is then left is the ability of some men to dominate others, and the only protection against that would then be self-defense. There is no underlying truth that man supports the free being that man is naturally created as. Without God there is no truth, and no underlying basis for any law, and law begins to lose its meaning, as we can see happening with the legalized slaughter of children today, and even adults in some countries.
Will we lose our 2nd Amendment rights?
