So basically, about 3/4 look like a stereotypical 80s gang. Not all are large, not all are muscley, not all are men. But they're all intimidating, for sure. When called, they gear up in pads, vests and plate carriers, arm themselves (gotta say, I never thought I'd see a Trans flag on an AR-9 but it looked rad AF) , and they escort women to nearby clinics and stand guard outside if anyone if protesting that day. Oddly, the MAGAts are a lot quieter when they show up and never get in anyone's faces... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 7 child comments replies: [–] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works -1 points 2 years ago (6 children) And everyone stood and applauded. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago (5 children) Nah, it's a thing.

You get that's what the point is here, right? The people going along as guardians aren't doing the intimidation (and I've never seen any reports of them using violence, only standing up and being present. If there are cases where it has come to co-operative violence, please correct me), it's the people harassing women trying to obtain healthcare that are doing the intimidation. The guardians are providing a service so that intimidation is less successful. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works -1 points 2 years ago No. No, I think I missed that, what with the fantasizing about big dudes wearing plate carriers and how intimidating they are to "magats". permalink fedilink source parent [–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) Also, that has nothing to do with your original comment. Maybe you aren't aware, but the whole "and then they applauded" meme is used to say that the thing is bullshit, that it didn't happen. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works -1 points 2 years ago Yes, that is what I was implying with my first comment. permalink fedilink source parent
