“Only the Strong Will Survive”
In February 2021––while people across Texas were without power, water, and gas
during a historic winter storm––Tim Boyd, the then-mayor of Colorado City, used Facebook to
tell his constituents that no help—or as he put it, “handouts”—was coming. Speaking directly to
constituents, he stressed that the government and privately owned power companies “owe you
NOTHING!... Only the strong will survive and the weak will perish” (Brito, 2021).
