Gov. Abbott's Latest Tweet Is Troll Level: Jedi
By Stacey Lennox May 19, 2020 12:26 PM EST
 

Governor Greg Abbott of Texas may have just earned the status of troll level: Jedi. While the media and Democrats wait breathlessly for the COVID-19 emergencies to plague red states that dare to move to reopen their economies, the data is simply not bearing them out.
Abbot Makes the Case

Meanwhile, the same blue state Governors are begging for a federal bailout to save them from the economic impacts of their shutdowns. Governor Greg Abbott decided to call them out in a single graphic:

Greg Abbott for President 2024.  Hey, his state has a balanced budget.  That alone would be a selling point for me.

This is what it will take to open the blue states.  Were it not for the existence of red states, they would try to remain closed forever.

Oh I know the Dem governor of my home state of PA is gradually opening up only because he fears a few riots will break out.  He already got into hot water when he closed the state liquor stores and only agreed to curbside pickup when some irate boozers threatened to burn down the governor's mansion with him in it.  If  he had it his way, we would all be on lockdown indefinitely.

I obviously don't understand what "trolling" is. :shrug:

The truth is the truth.  Way to go Gov Abbott. :laugh:

Michigan comes to mind as one of those states, for sure.

With a rainy day fund, to boot, although that will probably be diminished, I figure.

Trolling is basically getting the goat of whomever you want to get the goat of. Abbott is making fun of blue state Dem govs. who won't open their states and have huge deficits.
