Washington Post Editorial Board: Texas Republicans declare war on democracy

7. Someone like Elon Musk, who is moving a Tesla factory here might have an impact.

I don’t know what his politics are, though. He could well support Republicans. 3M has a big presence here. American Airlines and AT&T are headquartered in Dallas. Several of the too large corporations are in the fossil fuel industry, so they will definitely not do anything that might hurt Republican power.

What worked better when Republicans were trying to push a bathroom bill through was the organizations outside the state that promised they would hold no major events here if the bill passed. No big music concerts, no sports events, no major conventions. Much of the business community was also against the bill, and it died in the special session the idiot governor called, at taxpayer expense, just to try to pass it when it failed in the regular session. The issue really is getting organizations to pay attention to the bills before they become law and lodge complaints. If they become law, someone will sue to overturn them but that could take years and most likely have to go to the SC. Texas judges and the 5th circuit would just applaud all the restrictions.
