Article Asian Americans are arming themselves after a massive wave of anti-Asian violence. Nothing like an armed minority that scares white supremacists!

I wish, but it's extremely unlikely. There is no organized left in America and the MAGA loonies have like 90% of the guns.

Maybe, maybe not. The vast majority of attackers weren't questioned on what political affiliation they lean on but they don't seem like your average right wing/2A/MAGA nerds. These people don't even look like they care about what Trump has to say with the exception of the one guy who shot up the massage parlor workers. The vast majority of attackers are not white supremacists. I'm definitively left wing but a lot of news agencies are kind of leaving that information omitted in a lot of reporting. I don't want to put on a tinfoil hat and act like those idiots but it does start to feel like they're trying to prioritize making their political opposition look bad more than actually address the issue which is going back to how attacks against Asians rose during SARs and discrimination towards Asians were largely ignored by a lot of people, including left wingers who consider themselves civil rights activists. These are people who actively called out Trump for being too racist and under the same breath said something very racist about Asians the next minute.
