Oil gets ticker as it gets colder, hence diesel engines that won’t start, and water separation filters freeze up because they are not maintained. Everything rotating that needs lubrication must work harder and eventually fails.
Most of Texas that are not on the gulf of Mexico are pretty dry, and could use an evaporative cooler for air conditioning and is less energy intensive. However, most people live along the coast and in the summer it’s probably hotter and just as humid as Taiwan. There’s no way people wouldn’t use AC during the summer with current buildings.
Nobody’s saying don’t use. Doesn’t mean you can’t make it efficient. Increase thermo setting, invest in inverter ACs, better piping insulation. Building insulation.

I gotcha, was thinking Tijuana Ted, but Cancun Cruz works also. Either way, everyone is probably a little happier each time he moves a little further south!

I feel like some of those have too many syllables to connect though. Like hypocrite, sedition, these words are too indirect for dems to use to win GOP voters. Needs to be more something with a direct connection.
Trump connected with certain people for a reason, dems should use his playbook against him, it works, speak their language.
Cruz and Mitch geographic ones are good for example.
For Hawley…Hitler Youth Hawley I prefer, it’s a bit long though, needs work.
Other effective ones are Gym Jordan, and DUI Gates.
Like you know right away what they reference.

Not according to everyone in there
Trump critic McMullin sees continuity in the former president’s rise.
“My view of Trump and Trumpism is it was a logical next step on a destructive trajectory that was already present in the GOP before Trump came along,” he said.

Yes, the stage was set and any number of populists could have emerged but Trump took advantage. The party must now contend with his unique dysfunctional style.
