The parallels are so incredible.

As you said, the hypocrisy is just stunning because the conservatives are always pointing to the founding, always pointing to what a just and righteous cause the American Revolution has.

If they had been alive at the time in Boston, they would have been accusing Sam Adams and Paul Revere of being agitators and domestic terrorists.

I mean, it's guaranteed.

Well, and Kash Patel said that don't bring a gun to a protest.

Kash Patel offered to help Kyle Rittenhouse sue Joe Biden in the media for character assassination when he brought his guns across the state line.

I mean, Greg Abbott, the governor of Texas, there was a guy in Texas during the George Floyd protests.

who texted a friend saying, I'm going to go kill a protester, who posted online in a forum, I'm going to go kill a protester, and then went out and killed a protester.

And Greg Abbott pardoned him.

I mean, he was convicted by a jury and Greg Abbott pardoned him.

That guy brought a gun to a protest for the specific purpose of murdering someone.

And Abbott, because he was a right winger and killed a, turned out to be libertarian-ish protester, not a far left protester, but Abbott pardoned him.

Assisting people

But then on the other end of the spectrum – Like the Kendall Jenner Pepsi commercial.
