GOP Politicians In Texas Push ‘Survival Of The Fittest’ During Power Outages, Snow Storms, Pandemic
Isaac Asimov… “When stupidity is considered patriotism, it is unsafe to be intelligent .”
I’d take it even further. Patriotism is Tribalism imposed on humanity by politicians. My humanity isn’t designated by lines we’ve drawn on a Planet none of us can leave. It holds our humanity back.
The snow is cold
The ice is cold
👏👏👏 Deep in the heart of Texas
😂
This is what happens when you elect republicans
Aka the party of corporations
@syren star Less Government = Corporate Rules.
the GOP are moral degenerates, more so in texas.
You can’t teach stupid.
I would say more like the GOP since about 2001.
And yet they’ll still vote for Republicans next election.
Yes because “owning the libs” is what’s most important them. Priorities.
That’s a really weird way to be a masochist. But oh well, be it so.

As long as the GOP is Anti-Abortion, Republican voters will go along with anything they do
@Joseph Stanhope – We will have to fix what is ailing our government: the electoral college, plurality voting and the Senate…to prevent our total collapse.
how is it a handout when i pay my electric and water bills?
The Logic is beyond me too friend. how is it a handout when you pay for taxes as well?. 🤷♀️
imagine paying taxes & the guy at Mar-a-largo & taxes politicians feed off those taxes YOUR TAXES. witch he ate about over $1.8 billion tax money in 4yrs as fake president.🤷♀️
& when you are in trouble? & freeze to death?. they say we are not government handouts. you know what is wrong with this picture?
those guys? those republicans? have not been PUNCHED in the face by a REAL AMERICAN with families that have died paying taxes in the COLD. 👈🤷♀️
I blame Taxes voter for their hatred & now God pretty much have spoken. he lets evil people speak loud with HATRED to show you who they’re.
& what’s sad? is that TAXENS not all of them but most of texans? will vote for TRASH RACIST REPUBLICANS back in office. 👈🤦
I know this! Because of silly laws like Citizens United that allow the energy provider to donate to political parties who do nothing to make sure the power company keeps the heat on & your family doesn’t freeze death so the company can save a few bucks.
It’s not- it’s a life necessary service. The mayor is a nasty, narcissistic whack job! Why vote for him?!
*”We won with poorly educated, I love the poorly educated!”*
– Trump, 2016
Trump supporters: i dun no wut dat means but make america grate agen 2020!!!1!
LOL always make me laugh 🤣
I can’t believe their constituents put up with this.
They’re all brainwashed idiots.
It’s mainly the large cities that are suffering and they tend to vote Democratic. The Republicans are spread out more and aren’t feeling it as much. Same happened with covid-19. Republican “leaders” are happy to sit back and let them struggle and then blame the Democratic mayors and county officials.
My fellow Texans are single-issue voters and as such are easily led by the nose into championing all sorts of things that are in direct opposition to their best interests.
I think the technical term is: “morons”
I guess he could have given him some tips on how not to freeze to death. Duh. What a horrible person.
The Evil Empire is now here. Emperor NcConnell and Darth Vader Graham are out to destroy good America. May the force be with us
“No water? F you!”
-Texas
“Can’t breathe? F you!”
– Texas.
What good is a mayor or a governor who only shows up at election time?
That herd stupidity thing works well for Republicans.
Pity its an infection instead of a cure.
Go on vote GOP again. This is what they actually think of you he was just brazen enough to say it out loud.
Their so stupid to vote again for them
Texas what a “small” state with “small” minded people
This is a perfect example of how all republicans really think
When are americans going to start treating these civil servants as servants?
Vote them out!
Mayor Boyd is off his medication.
Making sure essential services like electricity never fail is governments responsibility.
Texas GOP failure. Period.
Someone needs to subject Tim Boyd to his “survival of the fittest” mantra. Let’s see how long he lasts when surrounded by families who have had a loved one freeze to death under his watch.
“Survival of the fittest” is about adaptability.
Those who wanted to secede now have hat in hand begging for federal assistance. President Biden should tell them to cut more trees for firewood, and shovel faster.
I have ZERO sympathy for Texans. They keep believing in Fox Circus lies.
