Defending Texas sovereignty has been central to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s political identity.
Yet he has helped President Donald Trump erode states’ authority over elections, policing and deploying the National Guard.

@ProPublica It was never about stoits’ rahts. It was always about slavery. Fuck the slave states. We don’t need them. They’re a drain on the rest of us. Withdraw the nukes, let them secede, accept their refugees, watch them die.
@ProPublica A consistent, durable, and logical policy stance is not compatible with modern conservatism. Their policy stances are defined purely by what is convenient today, in line with their vision of what America was like in a time when they thought things were better for the people they care about (themselves).
@ProPublica Abbot's and accelerationists Nazi and "states rights" was never once at all about states rights. Texas is a dozen petro-oligarchs in a #BRICS trenchcoat trying every pogrom inducing hateful gambut they can to punch eject from the Republic.
@ProPublica Abbott doesn't give a shit about Texas sovereignty. That's just marketing. He cares about himself, and nothing and no one else. He's a gangster, that's all.
@ProPublica Whatever is most convenient for grifting more money out of taxpayers.
@ProPublica Nobody messes with Texas like the GOP.
