      Economic events that are bad for most people in a state can very easily be opportunities for oligarchs who have the money to invest in the right things. If getting a bigger slice for themselves means a smaller pie overall they’re ok with it.

        The whole thing is about money and control while distracting the people with things they want to look at, which is unfortunately hate. It’s a lot easier to get people to hate something as a group than to like that. It’s the path of least resistance for money and control.

      texas is probably the biggest example of this and i hope that it galvanizes them into action since my experience living there has taught me that they’re only liberal in name, not practice.
