I agree. I am very disappointed in him. I hope he gets a Republican challenger next election. Where I live, most places aren't abiding by the 50% restaurant rule. There are hardly any bars, but they are starting to sell food so they can open. Business is pretty good otherwise, it seems. New Craftsman factory, thousands of houses being built.
I doubt VERY seriously Abbott will run for a third term. Most Texas Governors bow out after two terms. Perry was the exception.
But if he DID try to run, he'd get primaried no question. Texas GOP is in a bit of a state of upheaval right now, thanks to the Trump revolution vs the "old GOP". Dinosaurs like Abbott are displeased.
I don't doubt that Abbott is fundamentally on the right side of most issues, I just think he is happier playing along than bucking the media and big city power brokers. He could have held firm on not closing Texas, but no he was too afraid of being called mean things. He could have held firm on re-opening, but nope again too afraid.
His moronic mask mandate was a weak capitulation to the judges of the big counties - rather than forcing a legal showdown (which they would have LOST) in the TX Supreme Court ruling the county mask mandates invalid, no, he launched his own stupid mask mandate state wide.
Bro Abbott is legit a saint compared to the tyranny of Gruesome Newsom. I want that pedos head on a stake for the havok he’s wrecked on small business in California.

Don't get me fucking started on Abbott!

Agreed. But where Newsome is what he says he is, Abbott is supposed to be a strong conservative.
