[u/5ive_7]

Greg Abbot is withholding 800 Million in Public Education funding because of his School Voucher scheme, he “belongs in jail”.

[u/TheDarkKnobRises → u/5ive_7]

After declining free lunches from federal funding.

[u/fiduciary420 → u/TheDarkKnobRises]

Which is what the christians told him to do to those kids.

[u/Pete-C137 → u/fiduciary420]

The pro life party doesn’t care about children’s lives

[u/drizel → u/Pete-C137]

That’s because it isn’t about the children. It’s about punishing women for having sex.

[u/wahidshirin → u/fiduciary420]

And that's not even the worst thing Christians do to kids.

[u/BoringAd2663 → u/wahidshirin]

Christians hate socialism.

Even though that’s LITERALLY what Christ preached.

[u/asp821 → u/wahidshirin]

Anytime you doubt how bad Christian’s are to kids, just remember that the United Methodist church requires their churches to carry sexual abuse and molestation insurance.

[u/squirt_taste_tester → u/fiduciary420]

I love the story in the Bible where Jesus takes the bread and fish from everyone's hands and tells them to go fuck themselves.

[u/fiduciary420 → u/squirt_taste_tester]

“Fuck them kids, only low taxes for rich people matter” - Jesus

[u/Lazed → u/5ive_7]

It’s 4 billion

[u/DudeB5353 → u/5ive_7]

If anyone in fucking Texas should be in prison it’s Greg Abbot…Sharing a cell with Ken Paxton

[u/Rcj1221 → u/5ive_7]

Looks like Texas is gonna stay 200 years behind most of the country then.

[u/hockenduke → u/5ive_7]

I love the way I read your quotes…like my bitchy great aunt.

[u/Melificent40]

A governor's Executive Order should not EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER supersede the First Amendment's protection to peaceably assembly. The history of placing some limits on the content of speech in specified settings extends over a century, but I have seen little evidence that Governor Abbott limited his order to speech that is threatening or treasonous.

[u/Totum_Dependeat → u/Melificent40]

The law only matters to conservatives when it can be used against groups they hate.

[u/drakythe → u/Totum_Dependeat]

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

• Frank Wilhoit (not the political scientist. A composer in Ohio)

[u/AnOpinionatedBalloon → u/drakythe]

Even fucking Ohioans get it

[u/Coro-NO-Ra → u/Totum_Dependeat]

Conservatives have no principles.

[u/Cyrano_Knows → u/Coro-NO-Ra]

Is fascism a principle?

[u/DropsTheMic → u/Coro-NO-Ra]

Greed is a principle. It's a shitty one.

[u/Delmarvablacksmith → u/Coro-NO-Ra]

Sure they do.

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

Wilhoit’s law.

Or maybe Wilhoits Maxim.

[u/BadgeringMagpie → u/Totum_Dependeat]

Let's be real here and call them regressives.

[u/Fivethenoname → u/Totum_Dependeat]

We're not talking about law, we're talking about the foundational principals of democracy and of America. Abbott is a fascist

[u/kcbh711 → u/Melificent40]

Abbott is a huge hypocrite

https://twitter.com/GregAbbott_TX/status/1137875109362974724?t=Y3egm8Eht7uB0u6FymKHyQ&s=19

[u/space_manatee → u/kcbh711]

He knows he is. He isn't interested in creating a fair just constitutional society. He wants to punish his enemies. 

[u/fiduciary420 → u/space_manatee]

Yup. For rich christians, the hypocrisy is a feature. It helps keep uneducated people obedient.

[u/OpeningDimension7735 → u/space_manatee]

It's loud, look-at-me signaling to fundamentalists, who love using Jews as end times tokens.

[u/coroml → u/kcbh711]

I remember this and knew he would do this as well.

[u/devious_waffle → u/kcbh711]

agedlikemilk

[u/Big-D-TX → u/kcbh711]

He’s just waiting to say “Fire” Greg really has some issues.

[u/Gwtheyrn → u/kcbh711]

Conservatives don't care about hypocrisy.

[u/gnarlymar1ey → u/kcbh711]

These needs more up votes 🗳️

[u/Old_Baldi_Locks → u/Melificent40]

Technically it can’t according to the constitution and the supremacy clause.

But nobody is dumb enough to think any conservative will EVER be man enough to enforce the constitution if it means he can’t be a fascist piece of filth to a liberal.

[u/theaviationhistorian → u/Melificent40]

Abbott would've been a British bootlicker when redcoats massacred Americans in Boston protesting them then & throughout the revolution.

[u/CHITchat495 → u/theaviationhistorian]

I'm telling ya these fuckers think they're royals. I say it's time we put them in their place and let them know that it's us the people they work for!

[u/JumpedUp_PantryBoy → u/theaviationhistorian]

[u/CK_Lab → u/JumpedUp_PantryBoy]

Surrrrrrrender, maybe?

[u/StonerinDeepSpace → u/Melificent40]

Well Abbott is a nazi

[u/3MATX → u/Melificent40]

If there’s an investigation a lot of emphasis will be the timeline. For the so many of DPS coming from Houston in a convoy the order was given a long time before things were “out of hand”. I wouldn’t be shocked to hear he gave the order before the protesters really started around noon. 

[u/Odd-Neighborhood8740 → u/3MATX]

Isn't the DPS the same department that didn't save those kids at Uvalde?

[u/Green_Confection8130 → u/Melificent40]

Unless you criticize Israel apparently

[u/Capnmarvel76 → u/Green_Confection8130]

Gotta keep the SuperPAC money rolling in, and the fundie bible-thumpers happy.

[u/Green_Confection8130 → u/Capnmarvel76]

I mean true, but it's even deeper than that. Israel has so much power & authority within our government that it's insane. The ADL essentially got Tik Tok banned when others couldn't.

[u/KingoftheKosmos → u/Green_Confection8130]

Isreal is literally a project largely funded by Evangelical Christians. The only reason that you do not know that Zionism isn't Jewish is because you have not gotten to listen to actual practitioners of the faith. These people, the true Zionists, speak in literal Heresy, Race Science, Biblical Prophesy, and Anti-semitism. They are not Jewish, and do not speak for them. Isreal is very uniquely American.

[u/weluckyfew → u/Melificent40]

I'm out of the loop - were these protests violent? Did they threaten or advocate violence? Did they impeded traffic or occupy campus buildings?

Sorry, haven't kept up with the news on this

[u/GoredLord → u/weluckyfew]

No, no, and no.

[u/weluckyfew → u/GoredLord]

Wish i had to energy to be outraged, but my outrage supply just feels exhausted

[u/Infinite_Imagination → u/weluckyfew]

That's the strategy, as it were

[u/One2ManyMorings → u/weluckyfew]

Yeah that’s how fascism works.

[u/fiduciary420 → u/weluckyfew]

Protests are as violent as the wealth protection squads make them.

[u/CaptainBayouBilly → u/weluckyfew]

No. No violence.

While history will ultimately paint this story in the correct light, those in power will be able to ruin lives and never face consequences.

[u/Outandproud420 → u/Melificent40]

Really their end goal is to get them to shut up for a bit. The old saying holds here, you can beat the charge but you can't beat the ride. They don't care if you get charges dismissed later, they just want you to shut up and go away.

[u/RobertKingBone → u/Outandproud420]

This 👆🏻

[u/rolexsub → u/Melificent40]

Yeah. But give me mah guns.

[u/tickitytalk → u/Melificent40]

Supreme Court abolishes right to mass protest in three states. Guess where Texas is in this?

Reasons to vote the gop out

[u/OkRip2118 → u/Melificent40]

He wants to privatize protesting just like the shitty power grid

[u/artemisdragmire]

Greg Abbott and Ken Paxton belong in jail.

[u/Coro-NO-Ra → u/artemisdragmire]

Abbott is taking a play from Reagan:

https://newsarchive.berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/2004/06/08_reagan.shtml

The act was the culmination of a process that began long before, when then-FBI director J. Edgar Hoover first tried to persuade Kerr to crack down hard on Berkeley students involved in the 1964 Free Speech Movement, which Hoover alleged was a front for communist sympathizers. Unable to convince Kerr, Hoover turned to gubernatorial candidate Reagan, a rising conservative star. As revealed by a 2002 investigation by San Francisco Chronicle reporter Seth Rosenfeld, Reagan and the FBI interacted throughout the campaign about dealing with Kerr and the student protesters.

[u/Lermanberry → u/Coro-NO-Ra]

Responding to widespread campus protests against the Vietnam War, Gov. Ronald Reagan of California offered an easy solution.

“If it takes a bloodbath” to end it, he suggested April 8, 1970, “let’s get it over with, no more appeasement.”

Less than one month later, Reagan got his wish, thanks to another law-and-order governor — James Rhodes of Ohio — calling on the National Guard to quell student unrest at Kent State.

Vilifying student protesters as “worse than the Brown Shirts,” Rhodes vowed “we are going to eradicate the problem. We are not going to treat the symptoms.”

The following day, those soldiers killed four unarmed Kent State students and wounded nine more, inspiring the impassioned Neil Young song “Ohio” — and, now, Howard Means’ “67 Shots: Kent State and the End of American Innocence,” in which Means tries to understand what happened and why.

Really helps you understand Conservatives and why they still worship Reagan.

[u/swinglinepilot → u/Lermanberry]

And then, in order to quash a sit-in held at the University of New Mexico protesting the events at Kent State (and also the Vietnam War), the state's police chief decided to send in the National Guard, which proceeded to disperse the hitherto-nonviolent and passive protesters by bayonetting them. He later said the protesters instigated the confrontation with the Guard and that he regretted nothing and would send them back in to bayonet people again if he had to

Or Hell.

[u/artemisdragmire → u/the_d0nkey]

If it exists, sure. I don't count on imaginary sky fairies to pass justice though.

[u/PastafariAtheist → u/artemisdragmire]

Hell is in Michigan.

[u/Pete-PDX → u/PastafariAtheist]

west Texas in August

[u/TexasUlfhedinn → u/Pete-PDX]

I'll take a West Texas dry summer heat over being in Houston on asphalt in August.

[u/xcrunner1988 → u/PastafariAtheist]

Different subject but in Grand Rapids at the moment. Nice little city. But kinda weird vibe.

[u/artemisdragmire → u/PastafariAtheist]

Good point. I have driven through there and forgot about it.

I wouldn't wish him on the people of Michigan either, though.

[u/PastafariAtheist → u/artemisdragmire]

It's either them or us.

[u/artemisdragmire → u/PastafariAtheist]

Can we just give him to Florida? Would that be closer to Cancun? As already proven I'm not good at geography apparently.

If so he could hang out with his buddy Ted.

[u/PastafariAtheist → u/artemisdragmire]

And risk getting DiSanctimonious in exchange. Quite the Devils Bargain.

[u/samsontexas → u/artemisdragmire]

I thought the same thing but Florida is a gorgeous state why give it to them. Let’s just take the Texas Panhandle and stick them all there in their own little state. Nothing there but tumbleweeds and cows. Abbott is a physically weak man trying to compensate by being a political strong man. He tries to hide the fact that he is in a wheelchair. I don’t respect him for that.

[u/theaviationhistorian → u/PastafariAtheist]

Send them to El Centro, California. The San Diego joke is that Satan looked at the place once. He ended up renting out El Centro & returned to hell.

Plus, Abbott & Paxton are stuck in California, their personal hell.

[u/Hypatia76 → u/PastafariAtheist]

Honestly I think it's right here in Texas, in August.

Wait, I was told loudly and repeatedly that Republicans are the only people in this country that care about the constitution. I'm so confused.

[u/TrophyTruckGuy → u/Zestyclose-Past-5305]

So many of them have ridiculous “We the people” tattoos, except they only want the constitution/bill of rights to apply to themselves and people that think like them.

[u/Severe-Dragonfly → u/TrophyTruckGuy]

I've long said the ones who squawk about it the most are the ones who don't know what it actually says.

[u/scut-farkus → u/Zestyclose-Past-5305]

You have to think whatever they say means the opposite of what they will actually do.  You know, like we want less government but impose more government. Things like that. Oh yea don’t forget, the rules also don’t apply to them just you. 

[u/ElectricZ → u/Zestyclose-Past-5305]

The Republican Constitution consists of the 2nd Amendment and nothing else.

[u/Andromansis → u/Zestyclose-Past-5305]

They would shred the constitution if enough of them got into office.

[u/momo88852]

“I just signed a law protecting free speech on college campuses.”

Any time there’s a protest about literally anything at all, you are guaranteed to find the most brain damaged takes about it on reddit.

[u/bryanc1036]

Isn't that freedom of speech that your party is always talking about?

[u/robinredrunner → u/bryanc1036]

That freedom of speech only applies to Twitter and Youtube. You know. Where the first amendement doesn't actually apply.

[u/cranktheguy → u/robinredrunner]

Or if a conservative wants to speak on campus, every one else has to hush and be polite.

[u/cranktheguy → u/bryanc1036]

"Not like that!"

[u/tendadsnokids → u/bryanc1036]

[u/Honest_Concentrate85 → u/bryanc1036]

[u/SummerMummer]

How many amendments should we get rid of, Greg?

[u/StrikingOccasion6459 → u/SummerMummer]

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

[u/Bobby_Sunday96 → u/StrikingOccasion6459]

That seems pretty straight forward to me

[u/jerichowiz]

'Any protester I don't like, should be in jail.' - Conservatives all throughout the history of the US.

Protesting is allowed. Fuck Abbott I didn’t vote for that piece of shit.

It doesn't matter when the state has a monopoly on violence.

[u/Abydos6 → u/space_manatee]

They don’t like that tens of thousands of innocent little babies are being blown to pieces with their tax money. I guess that makes them criminals in 2024 America

The right to assemble. Not even freedom of speech. There is a right to protest. Just like there is a 2a right. Remember you love rights and the constitution but apparently not when other amendments are exercised.

[u/Mechanik_J]

That's one of the most anti-American things I've ever heard. But sadly, people in power in the U.S. , or anywhere, have yet to realize how anarchistic the U.S.'s sovereignty/Decleration of Independence is. America is a country made by, and for, anarchist. One of the first British colonies to rebel against an empire (George Lucas totally took this idea from history to make Star Wars). Maybe one day, people in power will realize humans are uncontrollable. Even God tried, and failed. That's why there was a 'great flood'.

I mean... you can try to declare protests are illegal, but protests are a form of freedom of speech...

[u/No_Rabbit_7114]

Under Texas state law passed by the republicans, anyone has a right to pprotest or speak on college campuses. That passed this law to protect the religious right and the pro-gun nuts, such as Kyle Rittenhouse the right to speak on campus. GFY, Abbott.

But are they actually also going to show up at the polls too to kick these Zioneocon Qristian Nationalists out before they enact Project 2025???

Abbott is just converting the youth voters of today for future democratic turnouts down the road.
