Abbott literally could not have made his point any better than the reaction of these mayors. The situation could have been a lay-up, but instead they found themselves echoing the sentiments and actions of Texas Republicans.

It begs the question, if you have the same complaints and enact the same policy, what makes you different? That you're using nicer words to describe the situation and the emulated actions?

Are nice words really the only difference people care about? Keep the policies, just euphemize it all.

Lots of inadvertent crux arrival happening in all this.
