look at all the numerous, absolute failures in just the first month or so of his presidency. I've seen maybe a tiny handful of liberals go "hmm this doesn't line up with my expectations of reality, maybe I should reconsider how I feel about Biden and the Dems." The vast vast majority are scraping together any possible excuse they can, no matter how unmoored from reality, no matter how easily and quickly falsifiable it is (look at how many people are adamantly defending the 1400+600 bullshit).

Liberals' egos are tied into their perception of themselves as the smart ones, the ones who see reality for what it is, and cannot brook any information that threatens this, so that information must be beaten into submission and forced into whatever insane bugfuck 11d chess they can come up with to explain why Biden is creating more kid cages, etc. And anything they can't explain away gets outright ignored.

Like I said before, the only real belief liberals have is "hating stupid people" (according to their own idea of what "stupid" means). All other beliefs that they may appear to have are actually just post hoc justification for why stupid people are bad.

For example, the things that motivate them with regard to issues like climate change or COVID-19 are "people who deny climate change" and "people who don't belief in the pandemic and/or don't wear masks." They don't actually care about whether things are done to address these issues - they just like to think about how stupid some other people are for being wrong about them.

I have considered your scorn in the context of the situation referenced as well as the phrase, "Don't mess with Texas." It was an advertising slogan devised for the department of transportation in the 1980s to encourage Texans to stop throwing their beer cans and other litter on the road. It was crafted deliberately to appeal to the rugged individualistic Texan psyche, to manipulate them into viewing littering on grounds owned by the state of Texas as a besmirchment of the very concept of being Texan; an attack on the honor every Texan. It was subsequently adopted by other forces looking to achieve some sort of resonance with Texans while issuing a general challenge to the world, from numerous artists and musicians using it as a lyrical phrase, to Governor George Bush using it to appeal to his base, to the U.S. Navy (painting it on one of their nuclear submarines), to the Confederate Air Force (a warbird preservation society styling itself literally into squadrons, which following criticism and mocking eventually became the Commemorative Air Force instead of something with a brazenly racist name) using it in a commercial where a B-17 bomber one of their members owned lined up a bombing run on a litterbug.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlFD0Zyl_f0

Ominous threats and the obvious message of "please don't litter" aside, the phrase itself has two contextually important meanings. The first is, "I'm trying to manipulate Texans." The second is, "I've so thoroughly huffed my own Texan farts that I really believe in this idea of Texan exceptionalism."

In the former context my words could be seen as a challenge to Texans: prove yourselves or be mocked. In the latter, it's just openly mocking the very idea of anything about Texas being exceptional or worthy of praise; quintessential punching down, which is at best in bad taste. The situation in Texas, where their infrastructure failed badly and repeatedly for want of any sort of planning for unusually cold conditions (something less likely to have happened had the Texan power grid been subjected to federal oversight like the other electrical grids in America), where their political leadership failed to lead (something completely predictable), and where their ability to provide electricity at reasonable cost to their citizens resulted in one electric company filing chapter 11 bankruptcy and another having a massive class-action lawsuit filed against it (and being denied access to wholesale electricity following their gouging Texans) was a comedy of failures where the people who were hurt the most were the ones who are, largely, the most susceptible to overt manipulation like "Don't Mess With Texas."

In conclusion, lol.

Lecturing poor people is a whole lot cheaper than actually helping them, and more emotionally satisfying to boot!
