Look Hitler had some good ideas about using debt to rebuild Germany's industry post WW1. But for the mass murder and wars, he might have been good for Germany. <- This is how we read your post. Sometimes it is important to look around you to see how the party and people who agree with you are also voting. When you are aligned with anti-vax, anti-intellectuals, pro-nazis, that should give you pause. And because our politics is a winner take all, then when you pull the lever for MAGA, you get the Nazis, because they are intertwined.
And here is the thing, no one was saying you couldn't defend your home, family or property. That is a bogeyman threat from the right-wingers. I, along with other people on the left, have firearms, can use them, and hunt on occasion (though it is getting less frequent for me). What people like me want, is the removal of accessibility for weapon systems that are designed for suppression or mass casualties. I also want to stop the police from being a pseudo-unionized militia which has limited oversight. That doesn't mean I want them to be killed or removed entirely. But we should not look to the Catholic Church for inspiration on how to deal with bad actors within the organization.
