I would think they’d want their Texas state tax money to go toward solving some of Texas’ problems, like their abysmal maternal death rate or their ludicrously fragile electrical grid.

The GOP has gone completely mask-off, and no longer even bothers pretending to care about enacting policy to help constituents anymore. They don't have to. They know their base will vote for the 'R' no matter what.

As long as you do some token "owning the libs" (even if it also hurts them, which it almost always does), these politicians will continue to be re-elected. Republicans are completely lost in the sauce, and have made hurting others that they don't like or understand their top priority. Their only priority actually. And this gets them elected again and again.

I don't know how you'd even begin to fix this. We're broken beyond repair.
