This is true, but for how often Americans boil water, it's just not worth having a dedicated device for most of them

They don't, kettles just aren't that much more efficient at 120v. Like a kettle will still be faster, just not by enough for people to care.

They run fine, but basically the same as a microwave, British kettles are just magic

Our electricity is 120v here in the US, so kettles take forever

Oh I'm by no means a conservative, I'm just trying to be descriptive. Conservatives are largely fully on board with ICE rounding up random brown people. They don't value the 2nd amendment as a means of resisting government tyrany because they aren't doing it, they're on the side of the tyrants.

This is precisely the type of tyrany the 2nd amendment should prevent, but because guns have largely become a conservative issue, we're stuck in the worst possible position of having both a lot of guns and tyranny.

Do you have any idea how much blood fascism will shed?

Yes, arming the public will get people killed, do you think death camps are a preferable alternative?

They have the guns and the government because liberals disarmed themselves.

The government still needs people to enforce their laws, you can't use fighter jets, bioweapons, and nuclear weapons against your own citizenry without losing legitimacy and leading to a civil war where foreign governments would arm all sides. Take a look at Syria, they successfully overthrew the Assad regime with the support of other nations.

We currently have armed unidentified state thugs snatching random minorities off the streets, that's the sort of government abuse that could be stopped if liberals were armed. The state can only go so far in using force against their own citizens before it fractures and we look like the Syrian civil war.

Explaining that they aren't silent and just make guns less likely to damage hearing is the most appropriate answer to someone asking why they're needed.

Its also reasonable to assume someone asking why they're needed assumes they're used similarly to how they're presented in pop culture
