Why are liberals not going ot these protests armed?
Because they are going to peacefully protest
And how is that working out? So far the right has shown that they are willing to keep escalating. You can bring a gun to a protest and not shoot anyone. I've seen it happen. The rightwingers always back down when liberals show up with guns.
The drag queen story hour stuff in texas where the antifascists showed up armed did fine. It probably was more peaceful than most.
Edit: it is important to note texas is an open carry state.
Because they’re stupid
