I admired and took to heart your thoughts at the end of your post (or am trying to). The gun-toting Christmas photo, the puerile and racist dirty tricks to discredit Dade Phelan, the Governor's inability to resist rising to the xenophobic bait — all point to a Texas GOP which, to paraphrase a former president, is" not sending us their best people."
What is to be done? People of good will cannot defeat this toxic sludge by stooping to their level. They are just too good at it. The challenge will be to maintain hope and discipline as we go into the election year, treating our fellows who disagree with us with respect as we try to call forth their better angels.
"In Texas alone, as reported by the Texas Tribune, approximately 600,000 Medicaid/CHIP recipients were cut off from coverage. This severance happened not because their income had increased so much to render them ineligible, not because their children had aged out of the program, but because of “procedural” errors, including “everything from sending in applications in the mail a day late to not including the correct documentation.”
