Thank you, Mary, for your chilling column and audio version.

I do not know how to combat the, "fellow citizens who continue to give power to the worst among us not only because they tolerate their inhumane policies but because they sanction them", since they will continue to secretly believe this stuff or change their reasoning for supporting the Rs. It is maddening..

Nine million voters did not vote in Texas in November, 2022.

Well written. I agree with all you say.

As a psychologist, I expect you have already linked Abbot’s accident as a young man and the resulting paralysis with his obvious misogyny and vile treatment of women and children.

Why doesn’t anyone dare to talk about Abbot’s inability to have sex, father children and the political weaponization of his sexual inadequacies?

The personal histories of our politicians matter in terms of their decision making. Abbott’s anger at women has resulted in policies that have caused maternal and infant deaths. Is the media afraid to

offend the sensibilities of a man who shows no concern for the lives of anyone except himself and his donors?
