The election to determine who will be the governor of Texas is going to be on November 1, 2022. This election will impact the state of liberty in the state of Texas. With incumbent governor Greg Abbott running for re-election, of course, there remains a chance that he will be replaced. While Abbott may have implemented some good, pro-liberty policies, like ending all COVID-19 lockdown orders, preventing bans on fracking, and issuing an executive order banning vaccine mandates, against customers and employees by any entity in Texas, he is far from a true libertarian or principled leader. Important to remember, Abbott was awful for a whole year from March 2020 to March 2021, when he failed to realize the deception of the COVID-19 scamdemic and went along with all the tyrannical, unlawful, and unconstitutional lockdown protocols, from social distancing, mandatory masking, and face-to-face business shutdown orders. While Abbott may have reversed these initial errors, he hasn’t proven to internally, consciously, and truly be a liberty-respecting governor. Therefore, it is critical for Texas voters to promote and support better alternatives to Abbott, namely Allen West, Don Huffines, and Chad Prather, all three of whom are competing against Abbott on the Republican ticket for the governor’s race. The primary is scheduled to begin March 1, 2022.
West, Huffines, and Prather are better than Abbott, because unlike Abbott, they all oppose the COVID-19 lockdown protocols that Abbott implemented for a whole year. Furthermore, West, Huffines and Prather have proven, unlike Abbott, to see through the fraud of the COVID-19 vaccine, as they haven’t taken the shots, nor are they encouraging others to take the unsafe and ineffective shots. West, Huffines, and Prather also truly, out of conscience favor banning vaccine mandates by all entities in Texas, both private and public, to be imposed on anyone, including customers and employees. As such, West, Huffines, and Prather are more likely to call special sessions to call for legislation to pass banning vaccine mandates, rather than dragging their feet on this critical issue like Abbott has done and resorting to weak executive orders, the most that Abbott has done to respect people’s medical and bodily liberties.
Here is where the danger comes in; whomever happens to be more popular among West, Huffines, and Prather, the vote must not be split. Let’s say West is winning and leading in the primaries as it gets close to November 2022; Huffines and Prather should drop out of the race and encourage their voters to rally behind West, as doing so would prevent the vote from getting split and raise the likelihood that Abbott will be replaced by someone who truly has a commitment to protect and respect liberty at all costs, which is the job of all governors. Conversely, let’s say Huffines or Prather get the leads in the primaries; then West or Prather/Huffines need to drop out and encourage their voters to rally behind the winner, again to avoid the vote getting split and Abbott gaining re-election.
As the primary looms closer at the time of this writing, a forecast will be forthcoming as to how well the conservatives and libertarians can replace Governor Abbott with someone better, and whether they truly will avoid the trap of splitting the vote to enable Abbott to win re-election.
