In this instance, representatives did exactly what voters voted them in office to do: reduce government regulations to save them money on their energy bills.
Even if this is the case, a king who allows the realm to burn is a failed king.
Public safety shouldn't be something you lobby for. They should all be executed as traitors.

There's also a fair amount of posts and tweets by supporters of the Democrats saying Texans deserve it for voting for Republicans, which is also messed up.
How is it messed up? In life, when you choose a behavior, you also choose the consequence of that behavior. They are getting exactly what they voted for. Want different consequences, make different choices. How many of the Republicans suffering right now will turn around and vote straight Republican ticket after this, even though all of their representatives abandoned them? Meanwhile, Democrats like Castro, Ocasio-Cortez, and O'Rourke are actually raising millions, phone banking, and distributing supplies.
Plenty of Republicans manage to not run their state into the ground, and blame the people for dying by their poorr decisions.
And vice versa for Democrats. Take Connecticut, we elected in Ned Lamont as governor. And you know what that bastard did?
He raised taxes on food. Prepared foods, single serving bottles of soda, water, six bagels or less.
Who do you think gets hurt most by this? The poor do. The people already living pay check to pay check, or scraping togerher just enough for one meal.
