If Abbott and TX Repubs had focused on controlling the virus as much as suppressing votes......

Maybe they would not be in such bad shape in Texas. Abbot needs to resign and let someone competent run things.

There is not a competent republican in any office in Texas. All they care about is money and power. They do not give a fuck about anyone living in Texas, or anywhere else.
