Greg Abbot is going to try to claim he was merely exercising due caution but as far as I’m concerned he is now the enemy because they put all these rules into effect and now they won’t take them off.
Bingo! He should be opening things back up right now. At least I am seeing more and more people out and about. I used to like him but not after this.
I'm not quite ready to throw Abbott under the bus, yet. I have ceased my monthly contributions, and have told his campaign that those contributions now go directly to Donald Trump (I was already contributing monthly to Trump, but increased by the amount I was donating to Abbott.)
HOWEVER, Abbott has been good on 2nd amendment and most other issues. As soon as he rescinds the mask order, I'll look at him more favorably.
That said, he may have fubared his chance at re-election.
