I said I'd never do it. FB is no place for political discourse, IMHO. And in truth, I am doing it through messenger, not FB "publicly".
My adversary is a sheriff's deputy. Yeah, go big or go home, right? Neighbors' son.
Fortunately his jurisdiction is 3 counties away.
It's very strange. His parents are liberal friends. He's a bad seed. Very authoritarian and extreme in his political views; friendly guy in person. Your basic white supremacist.
He posted that Abbott's mask lifting is just fine because, liberty. I went at him with, should we be free to drive drunk? You know the shtick.
His was response was rather opaque, though he inferred my comment was kneejerk.
I haven't yet pulled out that as a political science major with a fair amount of coursework in political philosophy, no, my thinking on this is not kneejerk. I did ask him if he thought the right to define it as kneejerk attended to him, because of his badge and gun.
It's still on...
