    After the 2020 elections Paxton was heard saying, 'I stopped the counting of mail in ballots in Harris County. I was not going to have the same happen here (in Texas) as in Georgia'. Nothing happened to him for doing that. It is deeply disturbing to me that no one spoke out about what Paxton had done.

    Whether you're a Democrat or a Republican this law of nature always applies. When power grows to the point where one party dominates all then corruption always follows and grows to the point where it's first it's ignored , then hidden, then those most guilty are condemned to save the rest, then the eventually the whole corrupt structure comes crashing down. Greedy little pigs grow up to be big greedy hogs, then big greedy hogs get slaughtered.

      The way that worked in the 90's was as follows:

      Getting outed meant being fired (they still can fire you for being queer) and it might mean criminal prosecution.
      If you're gay, surely you've broken the sodomy law, right?
      If you had a crap job, nobody cared if you were gay.

      Well, first off Beau is talking about the politicians themselves, not the average voter. Most of Trump's sycophants aren't also politicians, so that (to some degree) explains their actions with regard to the assumption Beau is talking about.
      When it comes to the politicians who still back Trump, the majority of them are not seasoned politicians, they are dilettantes. People like MTG and Boebert don't fall into the category of politician that Beau is describing. The politicians who DO fall into that category are almost universally abandoning Trump right now, even people who stood by him unwaveringly until a few weeks ago are abandoning ship.
      The few remaining ones, we know what information they are looking at: the polls of likely Republican voters in their areas that show Trump still winning by a large margin. The problem is that they aren't smart enough to realize that Trump himself is a passing fad, even if the Republican tendency to put strong-man, wannabe dictators up for high office isn't. Very few politicians in purple or marginal-red areas are still backing Trump, it is only the people in solidly red areas who could blatantly call for a return to the Third Reich and still get elected who are still treating him like the second coming.

    Assumption 1... "if this gets to Paxton, some of us are going down with him... get him OUTTA HERE !" *koff koff* Being born in Texas, and having actually lived there a few times decades after my expulsion from the womb, I am most embarrassed by that state and have considered a letter to the Gov to ask if I can be disavowed of my birthplace and join another. Yes, its illogical, but its a statement I'd love to make. Hell, I don't even like driving thru that state and I have to once every few years, and its tense. I used to hitchhike in the early 70s all over the country and have had some 'interesting' moments with hard core police... and when I was 17, hitching in Greenbay before a thruway booth a state cop pulled up. I had my birth cert only and he looked at it and in a pure texas twang said... "You born in texas?!?! Well, you'll be fine, just stay right here, son." He let me go and picked up the two girls hitching behind me. So, yeah, texas is that way. And cops are that way. And I did 911 and I know what cops can do... good and incredibly wonderful, and they both exist. But only one needs excuses and coverups.

    It didn't use to be this way until 2006 when the GOP took control of both houses and the governor's office.
    Laws that were put in place after reconstruction and state constitutional rights have been taken away.
    Lt. Gov. Patrick has received around $3 million in "denotations" from PACs that support Paxton.
    Looking at Patrick's history, Paxton is going to walk due to a "technical" issue.
    If this was 18 years ago, Paxton, Patrick and Abbott would have already been removed from office.
