Those that make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable. - John F Kennedy 1962
I do hope no violence happens in Texas, I really do.
Though anyone who has picked up a history book knows how this ends. And usually forced to sit as a bystander as it happens.
Americans are at war with their history books
Yeah the problem is that the other side says the exact thing, with the difference that they aren’t oppressed, they simply lost the “right” to oppress others
First time a protester kills one of these murderous maga fools they will do a speed run getting them to execution.
Remember: If you see someone with a gun, shoot on sight. It’s your constitutional right to use guns to defend yourself against people with guns.
This is how we descend into vigilantism - when the justice system is fundamentally unjust people need to seek their justice elsewhere.
This isn’t an endorsement of vigilantism either - it’s fucking horrible and can be used against justice just as easily for justice.
I’m declaring open season on Greg Abboott. Someone please let a bear into his home while he’s at work.

Wish granted… a large, hairy man now waits in his bed.
All right, you surpassed my expectations. Well done.
Texas is undemocratic. If you can’t protest you have no power as people
That’s not specific to Texas, protesters are always silenced by the state when they are deemed a threat to the status quo.
Wasn’t fundamentalist protestants “protesters” before?
Yeah, but 1517 isn’t exactly recent memory.
Apparently they already forgot what it means…
People need to protest using all rights afforded to them by the Constitution. The right to free speech, which they use, the right to protest, which they do, and the right to carry arms, which they need to do.
People need to address the state in the only language it knows.
Maybe asshole Abbott will find himself in the middle of one of these violent protests.
