Apparently, there's a large group effort going around for people to ditch Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to join Parler. I don't have any of the three to ditch, but I did download the Parler app a couple days ago. I'm not sure what to do with it, though. I'm definitely not much of a social media person.

manner of speaking : figurative expression : turn of phrase

1) if you are protesting some kind of gun-specific issue, e.g 2A or other related topic in a circumstance that makes sense (which even then I probably wouldn't).
2) if you are overtly making a threat that you intend to back up at some point.

It feels like you are going for #2. I'm not there yet. But I also do not find the thought ridiculous...which really sucks.

I think if we had a location in downtown Dallas where people were finding votes out of thin air while excluding fair observation (in defiance of a court order that the sheriff refused to enforce), surrounding the building with an armed protest is a tactic that maybe worth considering. It would be a threat at that point, but in the name of defending liberty and fairness.

Unfortunately, that opportunity is missed, and now even if there were fraud, it will be hard to prove. It may be that the election was stolen from us--but it also may not be that...we will never truly know. And if it got overturned, our neighbors would feel the same way. This is tragic.

There are other reasons to carry openly, even "in a protest." In my case, I'm just going about life, defending myself and mine in the best way I know.
