MODERATORS
Can we stop pretending we’re shocked? Please? Not in a resigned way, not like we’re just gonna let this new garbage happen. But let’s stop pretending Florida and Texas are normal. Like, at all.
And by “us” of course I’m referring to the corporate news media. Seriously, stop building up fascism. Kthx.
They fucking STOLE a whole presidential election (hence the projection from orange and co) and we’re supposed to treat them like a member of the Union? Texas thinks chili has no beans and wants to secede?
Bye Felicia
I'll say this as many times as necessary: No. Texas will remain in the Union, period. It's in the Constitution. Texas belongs to us. If Texans don't want to play by the rules, then yes, "bye, felicia" and fucking leave the U.S. But we get to keep Texas the land.
Oh Uncle Sam has a lot of shit parked in Texas. All the big guys with “everything’s bigger” belt buckles can mosey on down to old Mexico, we’ll keep the highways and runways. Maybe connect it to the rest of the power grid
