Naomi Wolf, a lifelong strong liberal, has embraced the 2nd Amendment. In a Substack essay she does a grammatical analysis of its wording and original intent, and she praises its wisdom. She now sees the need for firearms for the defense of self and others, and for the defense of individual rights against government usurpation.
This is quite astounding. We are watching in real time the erosion of longstanding political alignments, as people on both sides wake up to the reality of the present danger. The New World Order is entering its end game in taking over the lives of everyone on the planet, and is dangerously close to success. This is not merely “meet your new boss, same as your old boss”, it is a magnitudes-worse shift in the values, attitudes, and way of life, even to changing the literal DNA of the human race.
And so we see unlikely players, such as Wolf, RFK Jr, Dore, Straka, et. al. suddenly sounding more like conservatives than many who have worn that label for years. They are showing extraordinary courage, because in doing so they are alienating much of their support base, a base known for its vicious cancellation of anyone who disagrees on any point. But they see the truth and they see the dire threat against the nation and the world.
If Naomi Wolf can see the common sense of letting people arm themselves to protect against criminals and those who would abuse power, then anyone can see it once their indoctrinated blinders are taken off.
I suppose things had to get as bad as they are in order for people to wake up. That’s happening, thankfully, and not a moment too soon.

You didnt read the article. Here, first let me change a word here,
"Sounds more like bad things have happened to conservatives. They now wish for guns to protect themselves from other conservatives."
Or this:
"Sounds more like bad things have happened to blacks. They now wish for guns to protect themselves from other blacks."
Choose your prejudice any way you want. It's all the same. I see nothing wrong wanting to protect yourself when youve been awakened.
Second, I know you didn't read it because this is at the very beginning:
"The last thing keeping us free in America, as the lights go off all over Europe- and Australia, and Canada - is, yes, we must face this fact, the Second Amendment.
I can’t believe I am writing those words. But here we are and I stand by them."
Liberals are often just conservatives who haven't thought it through yet. My in-laws were proclaimed democrats when I first met them. Through pain and example they are now actual conservatives who read Q posts, make fun of Biden, and can't stand the MSM.
Liberal agendas? Yes crap. Liberals? Just need time to think through. Like all of us did. Read Art of War if you won't read this.
At the very least there are ways to use articles like this to our advantage.
Naomi is waking up. She’s not completely awake in this article because she defended the requirement that she get a permit and four references to purchase a handgun… sounds like infringements to me.
But she is waking up. And that’s a good thing.
