Thankfully there is still one stopgap between Austin and Portland. Greg Abbott. Lose him and Austin is truly f'd. Austin loves to imitate any new progressive policy dreamed up in San Fran, Seattle or Portland. They used to be the weird cousin in the corner, now they are controlling the levers of government in Austin. The guy that won the dem primary for DA is a "Progressive." The Republican candidate for and office in Travis County is usually a sacrificial lamb...maybe this time it will be different. Snowball meets hell is sadly the most likely outcome.

Agreed. I will never vote for him again.

If I'm not mistaken, he called out Abbott on the mask order, so I'm inclined to agree. Ken Paxton is also a strong contender in my mind, but I need to look into both of them a bit more.

Even in Texas, you can no longer trust someone with an (R) next their name.

My mayor has got to go, too.

OR we make it very clear that he will not win and if the republicans in this state want to keep a republican governor, they better primary abbott's dumb ass.

I'm not voting for Abbott. Either he loses the primary or he loses the general. I'll let the republicans decide which.

Might as well be a communist? Lol.

Trust me, Austin could end up in far far far worse shape than him.

My Governor is a cuck dem bitch who mandates masks too, but Id still much much rather have him than the Governor’s of Washington, Nevada, Oregon, Michigan etc.

Yeah, I’m disappointed in him for that. My county was getting some really janky data from the state and we could have opted out once they corrected the data. After pushing from our county judge, they finally provided us more accurate data.

Even shut down river tubing businesses. How the fuck he thought those guys were spreading Rona is beyond me. I've watched his medical advisor speak and that guy sounds like FauXi 2.0.

Ive noticed it spreads where ever they say it spreads. The virus is Covid-19, but it's known elsewhere by the name Tyranny.

if Austin defunds their police force, Gov Abbott & AG Paxton have said the state will take over local law enforcement there. So Austin ain't lost yet! Then it only becomes a matter of time before we see the local DA and ADAs and Mayor-city counsel frog-marched out of office there. Texas will not play nice with these stinking socialist for too much longer!

I hate Abbott and would never vote for him over another Republican. But he is better then a Leftist. Abbott is naive and weak - but there is a difference between that and being vindicative (Romney) or evil (Pelosi).
