Sure, and many Republicans quietly got vaxxed for COVID while supporting GOP leaders who railed against vaccines and wearing masks. Plenty of Republicans “know better” but simply choose to ignore it when their leaders wage their culture wars against EVs, e-bikes and such.

This will be something to watch, given how much of the Texas economy and local jobs are in oil and gas, and the right’s targeting of EVs in their culture wars. Taking gub’mint might also taint things, although plenty of far right politicians are voting down funding for such things but not missing the photo-op when it passes anyway.
