Exactly, If or once the situation gets to a point that requires scheduled load shedding (eg South Africa) I would suspect a lot of things would change pretty quickly. I can not imagine any 'side' in TX putting up with having no power for 2-3 hours, 2-3 times day - forcing a greater divide between the have's (businesses/homes willing to pay for generators) & the have-nots.

If it's the side that you've disenfranchised then you don't really need to worry about it.

Are you talking about the Highland Park shooter? The guy who cross-dressed to escape and shot up a patriotic event? Not a single reference has credibly commented that he was a Trump supporter. This specific behavior is not even consistent with Trump supporters who tend to be patriotic.

Are you just making stuff up and doing exactly what you claim to be against?

>anywhere else letting a million people die of COVID to prove a political point either but here we are

Which million people does this refer to?
