“Greg Abbott set the fire, watched it blaze, and now wants to put it out to get the glory.” New from @edenshamy.bsky.social: Public school closures, private school vouchers, and state takeovers have driven a wedge between many lifelong conservatives and the Texas GOP they once trusted.

The theory that “electable” means “work to appease right-wing bigots under the assumption that majorities agree with them, at least partially, and they prioritize it when voting” has been tried. It has failed. Try something else.
