A loud minority of Texans call for Independence, which is not really possible as far as I know, BUT could the Rest of the USA just kick another state (Not necessary Texas) out? Or is this also not possible?

As a Texan who is working to create change in this state, please don’t kick us out. We aren’t only the bad things you see on the news. We can offer you:
Brisket
Big Tex
Cowboy Hats
Willie Nelson
Chuck Norris
Fried (insert any food group)
Everything cool about Austin
Czech kolaches
Boots galore
And so much more.
Help us. We are a lot more purple than the news makes it seem, and we have been gerrymandered to the point that we need more than a simple majority to create change. If you can find it in your hearts to assist us in becoming a swing state, the whole nation stands to inherit all the things that made Texas an iconic part of the country in the first place. We are worth the effort.
No thanks, we got enough Christofascists.
We also got enough fried food and brisket.
Big Tex tho.
Big Tex is dead he caught fire roughly 10 years ago. the one there now is an impostor
Big Texn’t
I’m just trying to speak positively about my home, dude. Original or not, most people have not gotten to see a 75 foot cowboy before.
Good thing they spent money on that, rather than doing something stupid and librul like having a power grid that works.
Spent a lot of my formative years in Tx… dude…
Texmex. If we lose texas, we lose the fusion of meat and cheese and guac and tortillas that is texmex. It’s worth saving all on it’s own.
Otherwise to your list I’d add: Stevie Ray Vaughan, Austin City Limits, H-Town / dj screw pantera’s Pantego and so much more.
and fuck chuck norris, he’s a fundie chode.
Taco Bell will always be there for you.
Taco Bell is not texmex, it’s not even amerimex it… it’s what I eat when I want to go #3 in about 4 hours.
Number 3? What planet are you from?
buddy if you’ve never detonated a toilet after taco bell, I dunno what to tell you. it’s why the phrase “FIRE IN THE HOLE” was invented.
You do you man, but please, don’t limit the rest of us with your constrained experience and imagination.
I guess I still thought of that as number two. And no, Taco Bell has not done that to me, but I’ve had a colonoscopy. If you haven’t, trust me. What comes out of you in the prep is worse than any Taco Bell.
I feel like a lot of people in Joe Rogan’s circle have been moving to Austin, and with his current influx of cash it seems centered around that, which means he’s most likely been looking for what benefits the ultra rich, and will vote and promote accordingly.
Like when Chappelle jokingly said we should give Trump a chance because he was trying to get those tax cuts on the horizon. For the rich. Which didn’t really sound like a joke. Which was followed by bringing Musk onstage and laughing at the poor. Left and Right aside, it’s about the money for these guys, and I’m a little bit wary about a place so willing to accommodate.
I could be wrong, but the wealthy tend to know exactly where to know and why, but it could also be envy on my part.
Every Texan I’ve ever met has been a good person. The only time I ever see the Texas represented in the media is in the media.
I’ve seen Texans in the wild go on tirades when the attendant at the store checkout says “Happy Holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas”…
The vast majority are definitely good people, but just want to point out that the people you see in the media are real. They are here, and they are loud.
It’s also easy to forget that living in the cities doesn’t represent the people everywhere in the state either. As long as I’m in a city, anywhere in the US, I’ve never seen extremely blatant racism. But go to the wrong areas in small towns and you get jeered at for not being white.
I’ve seen this even in California. Oildale, CA is the most racist place I’ve ever been, including Alabama, Oklahoma, and Texas. But it goes the other way too. There are small areas that are predominantly black or Mexican that aren’t very safe to be in if you’re white. It’s a real shame, man, especially since it seems to be getting worse, not better.
Oh yeah. I wasn’t sure how to get across that I wasn’t talking about that as a Texas exclusive thing. It’s everywhere in the US.
Edit: Texas is the only place I’ve seen someone go on an angry christofascist tirade in my suburban grocery store though.
But you do realize, Ted Cruz is real? Abbot is real?
Just because you haven’t met absolute scumfucks doesn’t mean they aren’t ruining our country.
Goddamn I miss Ann Richards.
Oh yeah, for sure. Ted Cruz is definitely a human.
As someone from MA, I think Shiner Bock should be on that list.
YUP.
And Alamo, too. And if you’re at a dive bar, lone star lol
Hey, if it all hits the fan I would be in favor of an airlift to keep sending soy milk and avocados to Austin, so they can send back some of its abundance of weird.
