Alright, I'm going to explain this one more time because I keep getting tweets like "people who vote for politicians who let them die of hypothermia deserve to die of hypothermia."
The people who voted red in Texas are, by and large, relatively fine right now. Yes, the storm has hurt them but the storm was going to hurt everyone.
But. They're either rich enough that *their* power wasn't cut off or rural enough that they have fireplaces and wood and wells.
Those millions without power are in places like Dallas county and Tarrant county and Harris county, I.e., the urban places that have the highest concentration of blue voters.
So it's not "(all/most) people voted for hypothermia and now they will fittingly die of hypothermia".
It's "(certain) people voted for the folks in cities to die of hypothermia, and they are, while the aforementioned voters are safe and dry and relatively comfortable."
Well, gosh, why don't those voters *do something* rather than passively being killed??
Do you know how many people live in Harris county? 4 million. Do you know how many ballot drop-off boxes they were allocated last election? 1.
1 box for 4 million people.
