Bernie Sanders just torched President Trump on MSNBC’s All In, calling him completely crazy and delusional, or just a pathological liar for daring to praise the state of the economy. This isn’t just playground name-calling from the socialist senator from Vermont—it’s a window into the left’s playbook as we head into what could be another brutal election cycle. Sanders, who’s spent decades pushing for massive government overreach including gun confiscation schemes like his support for assault weapons bans and universal background checks that morph into registries, is lashing out because Trump’s economic optimism exposes the failures of big-government policies Sanders champions. When the economy hums under deregulation and tax cuts—policies that empowered everyday Americans to arm themselves without Big Brother’s permission—guys like Bernie can’t handle the cognitive dissonance.
For the 2A community, this rhetoric is a flashing red warning light. Sanders isn’t just attacking Trump; he’s undermining the prosperity that funds our Second Amendment rights. A strong economy means more disposable income for range time, quality firearms, and training—think AR-15 builds or premium ammo stockpiles that thrive in low-tax, low-regulation environments. Trump’s praise for pre-COVID growth (unemployment at historic lows, manufacturing resurgence) directly ties to pro-2A policies like ATF rollbacks on suppressors and bump stocks, which boosted industry jobs and innovation. Bernie’s meltdown signals the left’s desperation: if they can’t seize the narrative on inflation-riddled Bidenomics, expect ramped-up assaults on gun manufacturers via corporate greed taxes or renewed pushes for red flag laws disguised as safety measures. It’s classic deflection—demonize success to justify control.
The implications? 2A patriots need to double down. Highlight how Trump’s economy protected our rights by starving the beast of socialist spending that funds anti-gun NGOs. Share this clip far and wide, meme it up with Bernie’s wild-eyed rants juxtaposed against empty shelves under his beloved policies, and remind voters: a pathological liar is the guy promising free everything while plotting to strip your self-defense. In 2024, economic truth is our best suppressor against leftist fire. Stay vigilant, stay armed, and vote like your freedoms depend on it—because they do.
