    Surely some staffer runs this account though? Greg Abbott is still an idiot, but it’s entirely possible he knew nothing about this particular tweet (although probably does now) …

      I want to believe this, but given Trump’s insistence on using his own Twitter account while president, one never knows. Cofeve.

      And even if it was a staffer, what does that say about the knee-jerk, uncritical thinkers that Abbot employs?

        It speaks more to the uncritical thinkers this party openly creates and then courts that it doesn’t matter to them if their leaders blatantly lie to them. If it feeds into their bigotry and prejudice they eat it up. It’s confirmation bias of the highest order.

        I’m sure Abbott and his cronies are aware of this. They destroy education (openly opposing the teaching of critical thinking in their party’s published platform), promote uncritical, religious, dogmatic thought instead, and then willfully exploit the idiocy they have bred for their own benefit.
