Guess there’s a moratorium on my moratorium to blog about political stuff. But you know who doesn’t have a single pearl to clutch?
Beto O’Rourke.
That viral footage of him shutting down the Greg Abbott clown who laughed during his comments on guns and Uvalde is something to behold.
(Clip may be NSFW—unless you work at a school, church, movie theater, grocery store, etc.)
I don’t have the energy to flesh out a full post on this or deal with more contact-form trolls today, but I do feel morally obligated to say something on behalf of elementary school children being trained to shelter in bulletproof pods.
Every once in a while, though, someone will say the damn thing for me.
What gives me hope this morning is 30% Beto and 70% the crowd’s response.
Yes! Me too. Beto is who I imagined all of us GenXers would grow up to be. Yes, I was naive, but the crowd’s response brings me hope.
I can’t believe he didn’t win a Senate seat, but I think his moral clarity would have been wasted there. Hindsight and all. I am pulling for him and for Texans. Something’s gotta change down there.
