The issue here is not that Texas is going “woke“ — whatever nonsense Paul might mean by that term — no, the issue is that Texans are sick to death of Abbott / Paxson MAGA / GOP corruption culture (one party rule), with its brown people demonization — and no real affordable health care — on top of runaway, wildly-expensive electricity — because GOP oligarchs (have since ENRON controlled, and still) control the monopoly electric grid (disconnected from all other states) for private profit — not universal access.

That is primarily (see what I did there?!) what explains “new” Democrats winning in Texas’s formerly ruby red districts.

Paul mentions “gun-boat diplomacy” — as though it is a vestige of the late 19^th Century — and in the same breath, talks Venezuela (wildly claiming that it was… not). INSANE. Trump took out the head of state, and is trying to control a ruling junta — NO ELECTIONS — not “just” floating gun-boats by the harbors.

This theory is much worse than gun-boat diplomacy.

Paul must have missed that he said, on successive days, no less — that the guys he wanted to lead in Iran, post war… were all killed by him — and Bibi.

Then just a day later, he said the bombing “won’t end” until every last Iranian puts down their guns and walks away. “Total unconditional surrender” he called it. The man is… senile. And banal. As all evil ever is.

How will he and Bibi know that every last soldier is done fighting?! This is why you leave the head of state, so that they might enforce a “surrender” of the Iranian troops.

This is what the majority of the American electorate sees: Trump is a nine-year old, leaning over an ant hill, on a sunny day — with a magnifying glass to burn everything that comes out of the hole.

Not even one thought ahead — for what comes next.

That’s the issue, Paul — and the midterm results will prove it.
