Return of the ammo-sexuals

A friend who's a hospitalist; physician in Oregon lamented the revived protests by the ammo-sexuals.  Ah yes - I remember the word from back when one group decided to seize federal land and other groups across the country became adamant about their right to carry firearms into grocery stores. 

The ammo-sexual is the hero of countless movies where justice is eventually meted out by a gun.  Or a sword.  The courts are too slow and corrupt for an action movie.  When America Was Great™ the hero was always a male; even the lone woman with enough grit to live alone in the countryside eventually realized the advantages of having that alpha male around.  She could resist every man's clumsy advances until the true alpha male came into town.

How the city-slicker from New York City became the hero of ammo-sexuals, and hero of the Religious Right, and now it seems maybe even anti-vaxxers (at least the ones on the libertarian end of the movement), was a coalition shuffling that surprised even The Great Orange One. 

And now, as The Great Orange One's stature seemed to be on the verge of humbling by an invisible virus that defied his hunches and a Deep State of scientists and physicians, newly joined by Bill Gates standing in for George Soros, the ammo-sexuals are back in the streets to rescue their hero.

They are the white alpha males, whose asses had generally been kicked around until The Great Orange One rose to power.  And now The Deep State was telling them whether they could leave their homes, go to work, or even cough in public without their neighbors casting an eye of aspersion.  The Great Orange One initially denied the common enemy, then relented to the so-called experts.  The ammo-sexuals felt The Great Orange One's pain as he struggled to intuitively crunch the numbers and balance between lives lost and points of the Dow Jones.  He vacillated enough times to give the day traders a few rallies and short-calls.  But no one tells The Great Orange One OR the ammo-sexuals what to do. They don't want government handouts to stay at home - they want jobs and to walk freely in public.  They're tired of standing aside for The Deep State of scientists, and doctors, and even an invisible virus - no, they are not afraid.  They are the alpha males.  They are the ammo-sexuals.
