     @amerika @Teri_Kanefield Can mastodon dot social users see posts from your instance? I wish I could troll them, but Gleasonator is blocked. 😢

     One mistake the GOP made is to cater to a small, vocal part of the base.

     The two mindblowing books I read in the past few weeks (attached) opened my eyes to how small these partisan ecosystems are.

     Some of the people insisting that Biden should do X or Y do not realize that they, too, are speaking for a very small subset of the voting population.

     It's fine to say what Biden should do, but he will go where the larger numbers are.

     Also I want to remind everyone that right now, Abbot is huffing and puffing.

     He's making threats and talking big.

     Jackson actually did defy the court. And yes, Southern states defied Brown v. Board.

     One more comment about the border issue in Texas.

     Heading into the 2018 midterms, Trump tried to do the same thing: Create a border crisis and campaign on the (invented) issue that scary brown people were invading.

     It didn't work in 2018 (the Republicans lost) and I am sure it won't work again.

     The idea that it work will comes from being inside an information ecosystem (or bubble): They can use it to rile their base, so they think it will rile everyone.
