Cruz's entitled and callous indifference amounts to blatant narcissism, a borderline personality disorder only surpassed by his former liege in the White House.

And oops, almost forgot these people, the Republican profit driven 'business leaders' at the helm of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) who owe fealty to its stockholders and not to the people of Texas.

(They will of course have to remove the Reliability from their logo brand.)

Critical thinking skills must and should be front and centre in all education facilities from Elementary to Secondary to University to Congress...starting with recognizing the difference between weather and climate change or propaganda and news, all in order to be able to spot what is paramount survival information and what is the crass manipulation of criminal non-accountability.

Lastly, Texans aren't all as stupid as we think: Cruz narrowly defeated O'Rourke by a margin of 50.9 to 48.3 percent in 2018. I'd wager that voter suppression and gerrymandering played a role.
