Hi Governor it’s me again!

I see you ordered the Texas National Guard to Austin this weekend because you think Antifa will be there?

If you are against Antifa - doesn’t this make you a fascist? Double negative there.

Miriam Webster defines fascism as

a populist political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual, that is associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, and that is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition.

Hmm…

Light and love
