Reporting from The Texas Tribune, “Gov. Greg Abbott said Thursday that his pandemic-era public health disaster declaration, which has given him unprecedented powers for the past 1,049 days, would stay in place until state legislators pass laws banning COVID-19-related restrictions on Texans and strengthening the state’s power at the border. … After more than 93,000 deaths and 8.2 million COVID-19 cases in Texas in the 34 months since Abbott’s declaration was made, the state remains one of about half a dozen still under a statewide declared disaster or public health emergency. … If the Texas Legislature had a problem with disaster declarations and Abbott’s behavior under them, it could have rebuked him with legislation in 2021 that would have curtailed his powers in disasters, or it could have required legislative action to declare a disaster or even ended the proclamation. No such bills made it to his desk.”
Look, f***tards. How many times do I have to repeat myself? How many f***ing times before you idiots begin to understand? Americans want to live in a dictatorship or, at the very least, be indifferent to it. Texas is a perfect example. This guy got re-elected. Un-f***ing-believable. Abbott does not want to give up power, and the legislature doesn’t want to take power away from him, yet this is what people voted for just a couple of months ago. This is what people want. This is what they desire. This is what they deserve. America’s democracy is dying, and no one cares because Americans are lazy, stupid, and completely apathetic to the government they live under. Oh, well. Welcome to stupid America!
