If the Texas GOP and Texas Legislature doesn't vote to push for Abbott's impeachment due to violating the Texas Constitution with his rule-by-fiat executive orders, then (other than for Trump) there's no reason to vote Republican anymore.... #ImpeachGregAbbott #BananaRepublicDictator #GeneralSantaAbbott #EndAbbottsReign #KimJongAbbott #NotMyDictator #SpecialSessionNOW #NoContactTracingEver #DoNotComply #OpenTexasNOW
