I don't LOVE him, I tolerate him. He did plenty wrong and for him to be leader of the "biggest red state", it took him a long fucking time to end mask mandates. He caved a lot last year and angered me quite a bit. He's a RINO at best and cuck at worst.
He didn't do anything. He caved to the Republican base that runs Texas as he is a pussy at heart. He will never be re-elected. Texans don't trust him. Even with his EO's his is a wimp. But yeah, he thinks this will be enough. He rides the fence. No fence riders in a Constitutional Republic.
Yes, he feigns being tough or doing the right thing, but in the end he does zip to change anything for the better. He makes promises he doesn't keep. Texas is a good place to live but the government is run by the usual politicians...looking to keep the status quo, get re-elected, not do anything too drastic, and keep money flowing to their election fund contributors. In the process our freedoms are slowly draining away. My favorite example is the property tax situation. The last couple of governors including Abbot were all about not raising the property tax rate. Made a big deal about it. Then turned around and told the county taxing districts to raise the property values every year. So yeah, the tax rate didn't go up, but our taxes did because the values have gone up 1100% (no typo). This forces multi-generational landowners to sell out to the developers which are some of the biggest election contributors.
Because he promises big things, then delivers dust motes.
He grabs attention with buzz word headlines, but when you pull back the curtain, you find he either didn't deliver or he actually caved to the Dems/DS/RINOS.
Explain what he did... I love him as a governor too

He must be primaried.

Have you been living under a rock? Lockdown. Mask mandate. Do you need more?
When Texas needed a leader, he was right there selling fear and tyranny. Never forget.
Can we please get some clarity? I moved here and for various reasons was not following politics closely till 6 months prior to the election.
Why do folks here hate him so much?

Oh I know about the property tax bit being a home owner here. Thanks for the info. :)
I don’t hate him, but DeSantis is the rock star.
He is. Popular enough to get a 60 minutes hit piece that was immediately debunked by, well, everybody. Even democrats are defending him.
He will be president some day at this rate.

Hmm. Will have to pay more attention. Got a link to good Texas news site in regards to politics?
I wish I did. I just go to the actual .gov sight and look stuff up myself now days. I can't find any truly unbiased reporting anymore.
