“So let’s be clear about what Abbott, Carlson and other MAGA types are advocating here. In pushing a pardon for Perry, they’re stating they believe that if someone plows his vehicle into a crowd of protesters, the protesters have no right to self-defense.”

I think this is steelmanning the actual conservative belief.

The thing they actually believe is that it's okay to kill liberals.
