I have lived in Texas my whole life. The jury is out on these two. Abbot enforced the mask rule, but wrote it in a way that was not enforceable by law. He and Paxton only recently took Austin to task over closing down indoor dining, once it was apparent that people were getting really pissed. I have not worn a mask once anywhere except Academy since this whole "pandemic" started, only to get past the mask police. Once inside, 50% were maskless. My point is, Abbot was right from the start but then caved on the masks. He should have had Texas balls and stated that in Texas, we will not adhere national mandates. If you think wearing a mask will protect you, then by all means wear one. However, don't expect everyone to wear one. My 10 year old is still wearing a mask everyday in school and it really pisses me off. Should I really be glad that he has the ability to attend in person? BS! It's all BS! But, at least we're not having to deal with the flu this year. Or many other causes of deaths that occur annually. I guess we can at least thank China for that!
