False Equivalence: An argument or claim in which two completely opposing arguments appear to be logically equivalent when in fact they are not. The confusion is often due to one shared characteristic between two or more items of comparison in the argument that is way off in the order of magnitude, oversimplified, or just that important additional factors have been ignored.
With that in mind, here is perhaps the most laughably absurd reaction in response to Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) reversing Texas's COVID-19 mandates.
On this #TexasIndependenceDay we tell @GovAbbott

The slogan "Come and Take It" is in reference to what many 2nd Amendment advocates retort with when any government entity, candidate or official touts policies which would infringe upon gun ownership. The only way this analogy works with Gov. Abbott's relaxing of COVID restrictions is if he threatened to confiscate citizens' facemasks or placed burdensome restrictions upon said masks in an effort to make them difficult to procure. Quite obviously neither scenario is in play here.
On a different note, have you heard about all the COVID-infected illegal aliens who have been allowed entry into the U.S. via the southern border? It's quite possible this will cause an outbreak of the virus in the area, yet Abbott's executive order will no doubt be cited by progs and their media cohorts as the sole reason. Book it.
