This brouhaha has prompted many a stupid take coming from members of the left-wing chattering class. This is where columnist Elie Mystal comes in. The author penned an op-ed in which he said Abbott “is sounding a lot like an old Confederate,” accusing him of trying to start another civil war and calling for the Biden administration to use violent means to stop Abbott from taking action on illegal immigration.
The author then made the laughable claim that Texas “wants to invade the rest of the United States and remake the country in its own Christofascist image.”
Mystal went on to contend that the Lone Star State is “ground zero in the battle to reassert states’ rights over individual rights and the federal government” and that it is “more or less winning the first battle in this Civil War reenactment.”
The author concluded his goofy diatribe by calling on the White House to use violent means to stop Abbott and Texas’ government.
