    The bit about them looking out of shape feels particularly weak. Failing to meet the moment in terms of the severity of the threat, and ignoring Dems complicity in getting us here. I don’t get upset at every Meal Team 6 joke, but here it feels unserious and reminds me of when (D) pols use bad words to show how upset they are.

      It comes off as a call for making them stronger and more able. Like the problem isn’t what they’re doing it’s that they’re not strong, fit, professional and efficient enough.

      It’s a boon to those opposing them. Being in shape and having some fighting skills goes a long way. Guns don’t always lead to an automatic win and being able to disarm at close range is very possible if you have the strength and skill needed to do it.
