      Texas-threatening-succession-because-they-didnt-get-their-way o’clock

      I hate the Texans who go insane over the fact that they were independent for a while when that was only because they were waiting for a different state to join so they could join as a slave state

    Honestly let Texas leave, they have hyped themselves up to believe they are successful when it’s just because of their size and market in connection to the US. If they leave and have to rely souly on their own state funding and infrastructure for shit they are fucked, they rank in the bottom half of all major stats including education, infrastructure, crime, and opportunity. At best they would be hovering around Romania, Poland, and Ukraine on the nation index. Most likely they would be the libertarian bear city on a nation level.

    Edit: Yes I know this is reductionist and seems like I’m pulling a lib and being gleeful about the possibility of “punishing” Texas for being stupid but it’s literally not that at all.

    This is directly a drunken rage filled response to my chud family acting as if Texas proves in some way that libertarianism works.

    Nothing to see here please move on with your posting.

      Alternatively, letting Texas leave would mean leaving Austin, Houston, Dallas, and the Mexican border region at the mercy of those psychos, even more so than now.

        On the one hand, there are a lot of people in Texas who deserve better than to become part of the Texan Chudsob Massacre.

        I think there would be a racial civil war within Texas, and I hope that all the Latinos join up with the Blacks.

        yeah but radlibs probably think texans "deserve" to be cut out of the union or would hope them leaving would cause themselves damage, punishing them for "their" bad choices in government. obviously it would only serve to harm the poor and im sure the ruling class would be fine. people on this site want texas to leave cause itll make america as a whole worse off, and the empire being worse off/weaker is good for the global south/poor countries we exploit. at least thats the difference i see

          that's perhaps a charitable reading of many of the opinions in this thread, but i'm not sure it applies to the OP, which is fixated on how arrogant texans are and how "fucked" they'd be. i think the comparison to the globos is apt.

          I don’t want it to happen because Texas and the many POC and poor who have no say will be fucked while the rich stay rich (hence Ukraine, Romania reference) I am however, very drunk and very fed up with my southern family members talking dumb shit so yeah.

        I’m very annoyed and very drunk tonight please be gentle I know Texas is majority good lower class people beaten down by the system and that to view the entire south at deep fried racists is stupid as all hell. I’m just sick of my family in Texas who know better acting as if they could survive on their own

    Honestly any state that wants to leave should be able to just leave. Not because I'm a neo-confederate I just want the US to fracture lmao

      Honestly any state that wants to leave should be able to just leave.

      States aren't people, and it's not like the seceding state will have anything resembling a functional democracy.

      This is more akin to a handful of state legislators kidnapping their residents than a Czech / Slovakia velvet divorce.

      If Allen West wasn't a war criminal, who is confirmed to have used torture, I'd think he's for sure just a cynical grifter.

      The man has used the Black Republican niche so effectively that after losing his congressional reelection in Florida, he was able to seamlessly move to Texas to become chair of their GOP.

      All the trump lawyers (Team Kraken included) are straight up grifting. Not one of them has tried to argue a case they thought had any chance of actually winning.

      Their best chance was this one. That 100% relied on the SC totally shiting on the constitution and would come with a legitimate chance of starting a civil war.

      Too bad really I was rooting for the orange boy on the last one. :amerikkka:

    Uncritical support for the neo-confederacy, if burgers are too busy killing each other they might stop genociding the Yemenis

    A lot of states are supporting Texas's efforts. My state's GOP as well.

    I guess I'll be reporting from the New Confederate States of America in a few years.
