id expect that they wouldn't bother winterizing the turbines or installing defrosters in the blades or whatever it is they're lacking since they never expected to reasonably need them. the larger meme takes hold because it's just another iteration of the "liberals are dumb hippies and are replacing stuff that works with lovely poo poo that doesn't work and claiming it's more eco friendly" thing that has been a right wing article of faith for decades. it's identical to trump going on long tangents during his rallies ranting about low flow toilets you have to flush five times or eco friendly washing machines that break all the time

It’s not like there’s an election or something where being cruel to your own town may have consequences to your political party the question is whether those consequences would be positive or negative, because there's plenty of people who agree with that 100%, possibly even while freezing to death themselves the cruelty, after all, is the point

Conservatives using the crisis to take shots at green energy and not experiencing the consequences of their actions is par for the course (loving Greg Abbot sitting nice and toasty in the governors mansion. Some of these ERCOT assholes cutting power to people don’t even live in Texas), but the blackouts have also purified my hate for liberals. Apparently everyone in Texas should freeze to death because Ted Cruz sucks (he does). https://twitter.com/jaboukie/status/1361743738654117888 Stay out of the replies.

Just there to gawk like the monsters they are New Orleans just got a text from the mayor saying we're getting rolling blackouts for the rest of the night because some nonprofit system operator requested them. It made me think of the new Adam Curtis documentary where he talks about neoliberals handing over politicians' power to NGOs and the private sector. Since they never offer to improve anyone's life, it's easier now they can't be blamed for not doing anything. Some organization you've never heard of before and could never change if your life depended on it is in charge of the energy grid, not elected officials. Cool.

The modern right wing is just a loop of this ad infinitum- 1. Right-wing agitator/media person whines about government being bad 2. Said person runs for office and wins 3. That person proceeds to make government worse 4. Another more conservative person replaces them when people get upset after some time 5. Repeat 1-4
