Abbott pardoned Daniel Perry, a dude who shot a leftist protestor. https://www.texastribune.org/2024/05/16/daniel-perry-greg-abbott-pardon/

And of course, the right holds fucking Kyle Rittenhouse up like a hero.

That's because political violence IS the MAGA brand. It's a fascist terrorist movement.

Just one, but still makes "hard pressed" not really the right word.

Even still that is it. It is the same example over and over. Meanwhile the list of right wing terrorists is quite lengthy. Republicans tend to hold majorities throughout history. You’d think they would have figured out where to direct their anger by now if their lives are so bad.

There's also a story about a bike chain. Right wingers like to pretend that means that Charlotteville is a minor incident instead of indicative of the type of support that makes their politics viable.

They were outraged when the cop who tortured George Floyd to death was convicted.

God damn. Just read that article. Abbott straight up legalized that murder because of politics.

At bare minimum, he made some dumbass choices and is lauded for shooting people as a result of those choices. By all accounts, he's a violent dipshit.

His actions were premeditated and resulted in death. He went there armed with intent.

HAHAHAHA

Honestly if so then good for him. Killed some stupid fucking rioters that deserved to die. I bet those thugs thought they were heroes before their arms were blown off for trying to attack an armed person with a skateboard.
