In my opinion. Abbott and Dethsantis have been identified by the GOP

[diehardblue]

to do outlandish governing that they don't really believe. The object is to keep a distraction for the party as they move closer to whatever their nefarious manipulations are. There always has to be indepth analysis of their motives. They relish the chaos they have created with abortion ruling, anti masking, anti vaccinations and so much more. The media waste too much time on their manipulations. Wake up Democrats and tighten the grip on calling out their corruption. Focus on winning some of their seats at all levels of government. While. we are distracted, they are scooping up everything they can. I allege that those anti mask protesters look phony, are being well paid to disrupt across the country.

1. Yes, they perform in costume.

It’s their platform—crapping out unfeasible laws meant only to get a reaction out of Democrats. Democrats respond with righteous rants of how terrible Republicans are. Then, the Republican base reacts by cheering the original GOP instigators and then line up at the polls for them.

Republicans fake governing by simply being opposite of whatever Democrats are trying to accomplish. Republican lawmakers have no intent of actual governing. They have no vision for America. They have money, and thus the power it holds, yet they are naturally stupid and willfully ignorant.

2. I think...

... DeSantis is running for President. He has his eye on the Republican primary voters... and wonders how long The Donald will live. I don't know about Abbott... I wonder if he could find a running mate named Costello?

3. Running doesn't help Abbot.

Last time he did that, a tree fell on him.
It was God’s will!! ⚡️

4. Both governors are seeing their numbers of approval

dropping due to their extremist views. Good!
