bigt383.bsky.social @bigt383.bsky.social · 07/10/2026@smerconish.bsky.social It seems to me that the gun violence problem in this country is inextricably linked with the masculinity crisis.

bigt383.bsky.social @bigt383.bsky.social · 06/10/2026This is my take as well. Of course it’s still disingenuous because the only reason Iran had a path to a nuke at all is because Trump pulled out of the JCPOA and he’s done nothing about other adversaries that already possess nuclear weapons and delivery systems except make our alliances weaker. 100
