Matt Rinaldi

I considered the two brightest Texas State Reps in 2017 to be Matt Rinaldi and Mike Schofield. Their defeat in 2018 was a great loss for Texas. So glad to see Matt staying engaged in the affairs of Texas. The money quotes from this article: "The value of masks as propaganda over protection is apparent from the cultish adherence to them. Apostates have been subjected to verbal abuse and even physical attacks for not wearing masks, even when outdoors, distancing, and in no danger of spreading infection. The media scrutinize public figures’ mask usage in every situation. Masks are displayed on social media avatars to show adherence to the orthodoxy. This religious devotion to masks as a symbol has nothing to do with the spread of disease." "People should be free to wear a mask where they sincerely believe it to be beneficial. But people should be free to choose. The more people see others living without fear, the quicker we will get beyond the propaganda that is fueling politicians’ monomaniacal focus on COVID at the expense of everything else that is important in a functioning society." https://texasscorecard.com/commentary/rinaldi-the-sinister-effect-of-the-covid-muzzle/
