Texans don't like being controlled. The elimination of law-enforcement is HUGE loser in Texas. This little dose of Socialism we are all experiencing right now has most Texas voters chomping at the bit for November 3rd. And it is not for the guy that is six months away from Memory Care that wants to take.their guns. Trust me on this.
Nobody likes being controlled. But people will work together to deal with a crisis if they have good leadership. We have done so following hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes and floods.
We haven't had good political leadership at the federal level or in many states. Including Texas.
Here's a Covid map. Note that Washington state, where one of the first bad outbreaks occurred because it's a port state for Asia, has managed to get COVID under control. The outbreaks on the West Coast, particularly California, and the East Coast, particularly New York and New Jersey, were predictable given that both states had lots of travelers from Asia before the shutdown.
In rural states and states across the Southeast through Texas and Arizona, poor state management has resulted in worse outcomes.
