Texas, you're gonna upset Joe Rogan!

[-] madcaesar@lemmy.world 20 points 7 hours ago

Joe Rogan is a piece of shit. He became a multi millionaire in California because of the infrastructure and people of California. Then instead of staying and playing taxes to give a bit back to the community, he took his money and ran to Texas.

A classic fuck you I got mine.

[-] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 22 points 6 hours ago

That is not why he is a piece of shit.

He is a piece of shit because he is a fascist propagandist. Who cares if he moved money? He enables fascists.

This is why you guys are where you are right now. You have accepted fascism like it's normal.

AMERICANS HAVE NORMALIZED FASCISM BECAUSE OF JOE ROGAN.

No way would I encourage anyone from that shitty state to move to my state. Stay there and deal with the mess you made.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 17 points 5 hours ago

A lot of people don't realize how rigged Texas is, or how recent it's redness is.

The Governor prior to Bush was a Democratic woman. Bush got elected off his name, then got the Presidency. In the Republican bump from that the Republicans got a majority in the Texas legislature for the first time since Reconstruction in 2003, which they used to massively gerrymander the state.

Prior to 2004, the majority of Texas reps.to Congress had never been Republican. Following the 2003 redistricting, it was over 2:1 Republican. They've locked down voting districts and attacked voting rights ever since to maintain their majority, while courting out-of-state conservatives to move to Texas and driving progressives away.

The reality is the Republicans got full control of the state government in a single legitimate election in 2002 and have spent the last 2 decades rigging the system to ensure they never lose that power.

The blue print for what's come after across the country.

[-] Phegan@lemmy.world 9 points 6 hours ago

You know that not everyone in Texas voted for this shit, right? Many people voted against it, and many can't vote because they were underage at the time, undocumented or disenfranchised.

So kindly, take your bad take and get fucked.

[-] ThunderWhiskers@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

I have been doing everything reasonably possible to prevent and unfuck my local situation in Texas, but the state as a whole is absolutely screwed. I would argue that a very large minority is aggressively uninformed politically, and has no desire to educate themselves. They want to be sucked into the gravity well of their bigotry and hate and Christian window-dressing. It's disgusting and depressing and you would not believe the amount of people that I respected before all of this mess that I want nothing to do with anymore because of the ideologies they are willing to espouse. I barely interact with any of my family any more because most of them wanted this situation and still won't openly admit that they did this.

I feel completely powerless and like my only option is to run as far away from the place I have called home for my entire life.

[-] RandomMouse@slrpnk.net 16 points 8 hours ago

The people of Texas are gerrymandered to oblivion and this is well documented. They didn't vote for this. Billionaires came to Tx and bought the politicians, maga spread through and removed the old style Rs.

Not that I think anyone should try to run from these problems. They should be faced head on. But, it's important to not blame the wrong people.

We had a local place near me selling red "make weed gas again" hats. I've been in one time since and it has been completely dead during normally heavy traffic times.

Like these idiots don't know or even cared what they voted for other than "I'm a dude, I can't vote for a woman"

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 22 points 12 hours ago

make weed gas again

I can't figure out what this means

[-] llama@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 hours ago

It means all the stuff they can buy under the farm bill isn't very strong and they want the real stuff

[-] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 9 points 11 hours ago

"High grade"

[-] ChairmanMeow@programming.dev 2 points 9 hours ago

I assume it means smoking the weed (turning it into gas).

[-] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 hours ago

Gas is a slang way to say it’s potent / strong.

Potent / strong (and especially fresh and not properly cured) weed can smell almost like Dow made it in a chemical plant in Jersey.

Diesel is a common descriptor for genetics

[-] MDCCCLV@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 hours ago

If they're into biodiesel it could be turning hemp into fuel.

[-] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 165 points 21 hours ago

it's not about the weed, it's about making more excuses to detain/arrest/murder brown people

[-] Zink@programming.dev 7 points 12 hours ago

True, but they DO still like denying fun to themselves and their same-race underlings as well.

[-] Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.works 60 points 21 hours ago

this combined with them really pushing to make recording the police a felony

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 32 points 19 hours ago

Ding

Not a full ding ding ding, but a bit of ding

It's definitely about the brown people, but it's also about religious control over people. Soon buggery will be prohibited for some bullshit reason, divorce will be outlawed again so that Texas finally finally can get back to its racist roots of the 1800's. All we need then is some good ol' slavery to finish it all off

As a Canadian, I can't believe how sad the US has become, and they're regressing in freefall mode.

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 92 points 21 hours ago

You ain't seen nothing yet!

- Reaches into pants and grabs a massive mound of turd and then rubs it all over own face -

Yeah, you're triggered now, you idiot. I'm so free!

I’ve got some mates who live in MN and you’re limited to 10mg edibles and drinkables, no regular Delta 9 bud, and weak solvent vape pens (no resin or rosin)

Their shitty republican neighbor state has real bud and more than 10mg consumables…

MN is almost there re:pot, but not quite!

[-] ChillPenguin@lemmy.world 9 points 13 hours ago

MN is a state where businesses couldn't sell alcohol on Sundays only until a couple of years ago. We're weird about very specific things.

[-] intheformbelow@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago

It's perfectly understandable. A Minnesotan mustn't be too joyful. "It could be worse" are the words for a Minnesotan to live by. Allowing alcohol on Sunday brings it uncomfortably close to "I'm doing great"

[-] bitchkat@lemmy.world 14 points 15 hours ago

That's just the hemp stuff. They just passed legal weed a couple of years ago and are still setting up the market but we should have dispensaries open this year.

[-] djsaskdja@reddthat.com 2 points 10 hours ago

I’ll believe it when I see it. They’re dragging their feet in a way that seems like malicious compliance.

[-] Pulptastic@midwest.social 3 points 6 hours ago

The res near me (in Minnesota) has a fully legalized shop open now.

[-] djsaskdja@reddthat.com 3 points 6 hours ago

I live in the cities. I’m not driving that far for weed lol. I don’t even have a car.

[-] bitchkat@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

It doesn't help if you don't have a car, but there is a tribe that opened (or is opening) a dispensary just outside the metro. Down by Welch village i think

Come to Michigan. Help us go from a swing state to a solid blue, and enjoy some of the cheapest high quality legal weed you can find.

Man, when even weed money can't move past your draconian and shitty religious doctrine. Conservatives are a plague on society's progress.
