White Supremacist Politics Are (Clearly) Failing Texas Residents

Texas is still recovering from the snowstorm that caused the state’s power grid to collapse and left millions without electricity during freezing weather. For days, millions of Texans lived without power, sufficient warmth, accessible roads or empathy from certain elected officials.

While millions of residents starved, froze, and went hungry, their elected officials flew to Cancun and Florida to soak up some sun. With one of the hallmark tenets of Republicanism being "pull yourself up by your boot straps," it is no wonder that politicians--White, wealthy, male politicians--left their constituents to fend for themselves.

Is this "every man for himself" era of politicking truly working for the American people?
