But … but … there’s pineapple on a pizza over there!

That comment really was uninformed. As for said teenagers, they are brilliant. They have the NRA and a whole lot of Republican politicians and pundits desperately trying to wrench the conversation away from what they see as the issue: guns.

No matter how much people like Dana Loesch or Marco Rubio try to act offended, try to deflect to other issues (like mental health), or whatnot, they wrench the conversation back to the real issue: the availability of weapons-of-war for mass sale.

They’ve organised walkouts. They’ve organised a march in Washington, DC. They do not care if they are suspended from school or shamed by conservatives on social media. They don’t want politicians trying to horn in on their narrative. Every time they get pushed off the front pages, they bring the narrative back to them.

They wouldn’t be able to do that if they weren’t savvy and brilliant.

the pro gun /gop/nra establishment thought nothing was ever going to change
they are eventually gonna realize the ship has already sailed without them
eventually they will be relics
