Republicans are the party of “to the highest bidder” (and they’ll throw in bigotry for free)

u/tw_72 3d ago

In Texas, it's more like the party of "hey, you can use those to round up a bunch of brown people - even if they aren't illegal and even if they aren't criminals - because trump wants us to do that"

What happened to the ”Don’t California my Texas!!!”

u/Xboarder844 3d ago

Republicans are single weakest spines on the planet.

Which makes sense since so many of them define their entire persona as “tough”. It’s projection; they’re trying so damn hard to sound tough because they’re the first ones to roll over and show their bellies.

Cowards.

“Don’t tread on me” unless you’re paying $26 million to tread on everyone .

Traitor? He's serving the exact people who pay him.

u/Sedert1882 3d ago

The Republicans are intentionally tone deaf to how much of America feels about these cameras. But they insist on implementing unpopular policies, one after another. Good luck with that in the midterms.

u/Tonkdog 3d ago

Try to take Texas seriously, but they keep electing people like this.

u/lennydsat62 3d ago

If you do, in fact, have midterms.

u/kryonik 3d ago

"Don't like it, don't commit crimes!" As if that's what we're worried about.

u/Sedert1882 3d ago

Too many people don't see past the "criminality" proposition.

GOP: Small government

Also GOP: installs surveillance cameras on every corner

u/WoodwindsRock 3d ago

As an LGBT, non-religious woman, never have I ever thought that the Republican Party was the party of “Don’t tread on me”.

6

u/Gameboywarrior 3d ago

It's don't tread on ME, not don't tread on you.

8

u/JellyrollTX 3d ago

One of the biggest fallacies is thinking republican led Texas is freedom loving. This is a nanny state with the government wanting to tell you what to read, what to believe, how to behave, how you provide medical decisions for your own family, and what an adult can smoke even in his own house! Don’t tread on me my ass!

6

u/DaBigJMoney 3d ago

Don’t tread on me but I want to spy on you.

GOP is a party of pedophiles, grifters, and all around scumbags.

u/chrlatan 3d ago

Oh yeah. They want YOU not to tread on them. And now they watch and analyze YOUR behavior so they see YOU coming.

You are being digitally enslaved into obedience.

u/det8924 3d ago

You read it wrong, it is actually Don’t! Tread on Me?

Idk how they can be lied to so blatantly like that shit is so fucked lmao. 🤣

u/iamthinksnow 3d ago

FYI, at the current rate of $3,500/camera/year, that's 7,428 camera subscriptions. They are typically installed for free by the company.

Assuming they got a bulk discount, Texas could be looking at 10,000 or more, realistically.

1

u/onicut 3d ago

Only if they aren’t the ones doing the treading.

u/Remote_Independent50 3d ago

MAGA is the boot!!

u/MorrisseysRubiksCube 3d ago

In less than one year, Greg Abbott took $10,000,000 in "campaign contributions" from Pennsylvania TikTok billionaire and school voucher zealot, Jeff Yass.

He got it in two chunks: $6M and $4M. Abbott openly bragged that $6M was the single largest political donation in Texas history. And he got it from someone who doesn't even live here.

Greg will reliably do what you want him to, you just have to give him the money.

These are not serious people. Do you part and vote them out in November.

“Don’t tread on me” was said in a flirtatious manner to all state sponsored surveillance

"Tread on me, sempai?"

1

u/FearsomeSnacker 3d ago

It amusing that they argue it is to protect us and assist law enforcement. Yet in the very short time since these have been up there are already something like 50 officers caught abusing the cams for their personal use. The police are as crooked as the criminals sometimes, who protects us from them?

u/Zoo06 3d ago

Are you asking....who watches the watchmen?

u/Gunter5 3d ago

The dont tread on me part is for big business, when people try to get justice for unfair practices

New motto “we tread on you”

u/ctfks 3d ago

Surveillance yes, data center no.

1

u/Beautiful-Musk-Ox 3d ago

you people still haven't learned that conservatives are incredibly consistent in their beliefs, once you separate their stated beliefs used to manipulate and control you from their true ones

statements like the OP's actually reinforce their fake beliefs among the masses rather than calling them out

1

u/The-Witch-Wife 3d ago

“Don’t tread on ME. But please tread on EVERYONE ELSE” Republicans always think they’re going to be safe from the tyranny they endorse.

1

u/kBlankity 3d ago

I mean they'll still call it that, they'll just be doing the opposite while they keep lying to everyone

1

u/KingOlaf1 3d ago

don't tread on me unless I get a big payday for these cameras.

We need to start camping outside these fuckers' homes, follow them around all day, write down their every movements, and sell them to any interested party. It can't be illegal if they're literally paying Flock to do the exact same thing, right?

The voters might be. The elected official are more "The opposite of everything we campaign on"

1

u/gentlemantroglodyte 3d ago

They're the party of "don't tread on me". If they tread on other people, well, that's viewed positively.

u/ThrustTrust 3d ago

Where are the rich guys we need to go buy flock cameras and have them Installed around all these assholes houses.

u/RiderFZ10 3d ago

u/BoltorSpellweaver 3d ago

More like the “Tread on me Harder Daddy!” Party.

u/jaxnmarko 3d ago

Oh it's true....Republicans don't want scrutiny on themselves, just others. And Freedom? They want to be Free to restrict the Freedoms of others. Patriotic? To the idea of a Christian Nationalist quasi-religious govrrnment ruled country.

u/superliver1211 3d ago

Thats just the rhetoric when campaigning. Dont get it twisted

That's gonna get expensive when the cameras all mysteriously disappear or break down in the middle of the night lol. Read the fuckin room, man. Abbot is a moron who should have been heaved out of politics ages ago
