That's Texas, man. Don't hold us responsible for Texas. They're on a whole separate power grid from the whole rest of the country, and they're being led by absolute maniacs who aren't good at anything.
But we should keep it in perspective -- no one from our military suddenly announcing they were going to overthrow the leader and marched on the capital. The worst Texas did in this century was reject our electrical grid and power-outage a few of their citizens to death.
If there's one thing I can count on being reminded of any time I turn on any TV news channel, it's that there have been no instances of anyone marching on the US capital to overthrow the elected leader in recent memory.
Ha. Touché. Although in fairness, Russia had quite a lot to do with giving us Trump in the first place. Y'all weren't happy enough with this style of governance in your own country, so you had to share it with us. Hooray for us both.
