In reply to the discussion: Texas mayor tells residents to fend for themselves during power outage: 'Only the strong will surviv [View all]MarcA
(2,195 posts)28. Typical whinny hypocritical authoritarian
He whines about how his family is treated while stating that he does not care about the feelings or the well being of others. The typical slave master mentality that those who have it must keep it and those who don't have it must be their owner's servants, if they are allowed to be at all. As for his wife losing her job, she was working at the local "socialist" school district so he should be proud not to have to depend on that "socialist" income. Sadly, he apparently has some local sycophants who believe others should forgive and forget. Forgetting allows evil to persist. BTW, would his attitude have anything to do with the increase in non-white residents there?
