Tulsi Gabbard Took the red pill

[WillBrink]

Been interesting to watch her take the red pill and wake up over the last few years. She's sounding even more like a Libertarian each day. Perfect no, but no one is and what's obvious is, she's able to learn and adjust views and positions if convinced to do so. I tend to think she'd realize her 2A positions are lacking, but she has been consistent that her focus is support for the Const. which will not jibe with her 2A positions which apparantly have changed. See below. I think she should run as VP with Desantis and would pull a lot of votes there, and would not be a worthless VP. Personally, I think Desantis/Paul is the best ticket I can think of, but not sure Paul would draw additional votes from other demographics:

Her 2A position after red pill:

"As we see Democratic leaders in Washington continue to push more authoritarian-like policies, who are using law enforcement agencies, weaponizing them to go after political opponents, targeting law-abiding Americans as extremists and domestic terrorists for committing the offense of opposing the agenda of those in power, we realize that our right to bear arms is the deterrent that our Founders intended to push back against this threat of government tyranny. This abuse of power. …

President Biden likes to say that our Second Amendment is not absolute, pretending as though we don’t currently have tens of thousands of laws already on the books. In fact, there are more laws regulating this individual right than any other mentioned in the Constitution. But those laws, those existing laws on the books, frankly are not even being enforced and yet they want to place even more restrictions on us."

I like that Tulsi clearly pointed out the BS of Kamala and of Ole Joe, her pissing Hilary off and then calling her out for all the shit talking behind her back is great, but she's not quite the politician I want her to be, and don't quite trust her with totally upholding our constitution as much as Paul. I agree that she'll go far with Desantis, but she's still far from perfect which is the issue we have with those coming into office in the last 20+ years

I can't name anyone who I'd consider perfect, but what's most important about her in particular, is she's capable of learning, and altering her positions without it seeming she will just say what ever she thinks people want to hear, which is 99% of politicians. I believe she was the only Dem who would not support HC and that put her on the black list from then on. She was the only Dem I'd have considered voting for, and no surprise she left that party.

True. I think we need to start looking at our Politicians a little differently. One issue I have with American Politics is that we look to the top, and don't concentrate on the base, where although a slower process, we can effect real change. For the first time, in a longtime, my county now has a Sheriff that is Pro-2A, and that is a good start considering everything going on nowadays. I look at Illinois AWB as both a cautionary tail and a look at how much push back they got from the counties as a victory.

I've always thought Tulsi to one of the least insane of the dems, that is not a ringing endorsement in my book. She talks a good talk, but the only way to predict behavior is to look at past behavior and there I am not impressed.

And it's now 2023 and she's changed those positions and I posted the vid several times where she goes into detail as to the what/when/why of those changes if interested.

How can someone who served in the military, who really should know better, continue to use the term "Assault Weapon?"

The fact that she does so is a major red flag, and what most here would consider, a clue.
