A Texan reflects on the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad GOP leadership.
As an election clerk during the early voting in late October and early November just passed, I was not allowed, nor did I want, to advise voters as to which candidate they should vote for. I was there to assist them with the voting process: signing in, how the voting machines worked, using the ballot scanner, and lastly , giving them an"I Voted" or"Yo Voté" sticker to put on their shirt or blouse.
But if I could have advised them, I would have literally shouted,"Don't vote for Abbott, Paxton, or Patrick!" That Turgid Trio – like DeSantis in Florida, Ron Johnson in Wisconsin, and No. 45 everywhere – have weaponized bigotry and dis- and misinformation, and they are all big-time losers. The Turgid Trio may have won their races on Nov. 8, 2022, but they are still losers, in my humble opinion.
What have they lost? Compassion, empathy, inclusivity, tolerance, the way of Jesus of Nazareth, and any pretense of being truly representative of Texas and Texans. And what have they lost? Compassion, empathy, inclusivity, tolerance, the way of Jesus of Nazareth, and any pretense of being truly representative of Texas and Texans. I believe they are terrified of losing the votes of the 25% or so of Texans, and U.S. citizens, who are white nationalists/supremacists and Second Amendment fanatics.
