      through his office and campaign, ted cruz has thousands of contacts across the state and direct access to the kinds of people who can help organize and deliver relief. for someone who isn’t in the texas government itself, he is uniquely positioned to help. https://twitter.com/EWErickson/status/1362391144672489473 …

      In a crisis it's very important for leaders to stay with people for sake of morale: classically the British royal family in London during blitz. It's a symbolic gesture but symbols of solidarity are part of the glue of social life.

          what's funny is even the concept of this is absolutely foreign to Americans of all stripes. as silly an example as not getting a haircut while in quarantine to show solidarity, ha! Trump didn't even pretend to care. and no one bothered even asking. meanwhile Justin ...

          So you know, while the news covered the anti-mask nonsense and various knuckleheads, there was and is an outpouring of mutual aid. People volunteering isn't as dramatic as the foolishness, but it's happening.

          The right wingers in the US fetishize an infantile version of Churchill, but then they run away from actual crises. It’s maddening.

          90% of Leadership is showing up and Cruz still failed the test.

          These are the people who made Pelosi at the salon and Newsom at French Laundry into a big scandal of elite out of touchness.

          He is very keen to talk about the great state of Texas and its people, whom he serves. I guess he doesn't actually care about about the state and its people so much.

          Yeah, but everybody hates Ted Cruz. When he walks in a room morale drops like the mercury in a Texas thermometer.

          That was my thought. Empathy is not optics. And solidarity is a better way of saying it.

          Cruz has a substantial network to organize local relief and mobilize federal resources. It’s not just morale.
