You really have to be an asshole to live in Texas at this point lol abort Texas, abort the south. I want them to succeed in secession for demonstrative value.
You really have to be an asshole to live in Texas at this point
Terrible take. A lot of us can’t “just move elsewhere.” All the surrounding states are still pretty conservative and shitty, moving isn’t free, and you can’t just sell all your shit and hitchhike and expect to be welcomed with open arms.
It took all of my measly life savings just to move, I still struggled with housing and finding a job for months, healthcare is a removed, CoL is higher, and I have to live in the city long enough to find my footing when I was raised to be accustomed to smalltown life. Don’t get me started on the weather and day/night cycle and difference in climate, nature, environment. There’s a bit of culture shock there.
And if all the non-fascists left, where are they supposed to go en masse? Somewhere that’s slightly better? Overwhelm blue states that aren’t prepared infrastructurally? A lot of the time, this kind of mass migration overwrites local culture and just ends up recreating the problems of the homeland. You’re telling me California can handle an influx of 12,000,000 psychologically damaged texans who need to be deprogrammed and integrated?
Those are my comrades that are stuck in that hellhole, not some faceless NPCs who love trump and wholeheartedly support the decline towards theocratic fascism. That’s our home as much as it is the fuckin nazis’, and it sucks shit to be lumped in with them just because we’re not gung ho about completely starting over when we barely scraped by to begin with.
I live in Texas. We need people that vote against this BS instead of just leaving. Texas has a say in US politics whether you like it or not, so some of us need to try to get better people in office.
Furthermore, I’m a man and can afford to stay to fight for women’s rights. I’m still protected, for now anyway.
My husband and I are both here and voting as long as the military forces us to be here. Every election. Local, state, and federal. Blue. Every time.
But fuck, the second my contract says I’m allowed to move, I’m selling my house, fleeing this hellhole ASAP, and will never willingly set foot in this state again. Just saying.
2012 Texas was different than it is today. Not great, but exponentially better. There’s been a distinct decline over the past ~decade.
Nah you need to leave. Stop trying to swing a state that just needs to implode. Let those chimpanzees tear out each others’ throats, it’ll clean up the house in no time if they’re left alone to their devices.

Fuck you.
y’all pray for ERCOT
ERCOT had one serious outage in 2021, is that what you’re talking about about?

Among Texas voters, about 45% reliably vote blue. Fuck 'em all though, right?
A good business opportunity: a home swap for blue voters in red states and red voters in blue states, so that the Texas seceding dream can happen.
just give the shithole back to mexico
