    All he has to do is say that Texas is doing it in retaliation to California and his base will eat it up. It’s not like they fact check or look at any left leaning news. It seems stupid from our perspective, but to those that follow him it’s preaching to the choir.

    I got to hand it to him though. It does take skill to spew such contemptible hypocritical bullshit with a straight face.

    But I guess for sociopaths that’s just second nature.
