"Texas" doesn't bother me, but I remember that "Texas Gator" has been on the wrong side of a lot of other issues that i've noticed in the past.
Pretty sure that guy gunning down the man who was trying to visit his kid was another one of those issues in which you were on the wrong side.
Is this your son? I have to ask to try to explain why you are defending them so vociferously. Me, after 3 years (BLM protests, COVID restrictions), of seeing private property rights trashed by people with your mindset, I am in the mood to defend them vociferously.
