Images of the powerful USING the powerless are thrilling to people with an Abbott and DeSantis mindset. And, that is where this behavior stems from, their brains. They are not wired for empathy, and deliberating the nuance of how this stunt looks would not have been a part of their decision making process.

They don't get it---Trump, Abbott, DeSantis, McConnell, McCarthy, etc. don't get it. The list is about 25% long of any given society. People to them are not so much people as they are a means to some kind of an end or pay-off.

We keep hoping for the lowest point when it comes to the Republicans' cruelty, and I'm not sure there is one if they think they are "winning".

I don't know if they can be prosecuted for this, if so, they should be. Save them a cell next to the insurrectionists, they really didn't "get it" either.
