We're all still having a good time roasting Rafael "Ted" Cruz over his trip to Cancun while Texans froze and died. But laughs aside, the situation in the Lone Star State is far from funny. It's heartbreaking to read about families burning furniture to keep warm, or freezing or being gassed to death in their own homes. But folks, this is Republican America: a place where it's better to kill people than to allow government to regulate anything. Remember that the next time you head to the ballot box.
Meanwhile, California, the state that Republicans like Cruz love to trash, sent water to thirsty Texans. Beto O'Rourke has done more for the state as a private citizen than Cruz as done as their Senator. While Cruz was jetting off to Cancun, Beto was all over Zoom and social media, connecting people with resources for help. And New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has pitched in, bigly — she's raised more than $2 million for Texan relief organizations.
In other words, "Good-at-Stuff-America" is putting its nose to the grindstone to help the state that voted for Cruz and Benedict Donald. Because people who are good at stuff, unlike the party of Trump, care about their fellow Americans.
That's our bumper sticker for 2022 and beyond: Democrats have your back. The GOP is good at fake populism, but they couldn't give a damn about regular working people whose apartments are flooded and ruined by burst, frozen pipes. Joe Biden activated FEMA to help suffering Texans, many of whom didn't even vote for him. Because that's what a President does. We cats PURR.
