Wait. What? How does that even... I mean. Huh?
Republicans are the stupidest mother fuckers in the world.
Vibes-based policy. Republicans hate when people from blue states move to red states, even if they are republicans. They think they bring the liberal stink with them and fuck things up for everyone else.
They'll eat this up, regardless of how little sense it makes.

I mean we kinda do. I moved from a blue state to a red state and man; I didn’t realize how good I had it. Now I want to make things better here.
I have to imagine at least some republicans come to the same conclusion too.
A common refrain I've heard from Republicans here is "Don't Commie-fornia my Arizona". I could absolutely see them trying to pass something similar.
Best I can figure out, is that it's a joke, but I'm not sure what the punchline is?
I think it means Texans will have to purchase one whole New Yorker for each New Yorker who moves to Texas?
It's like a 5 year old mimicking his idiot dad. Would be adorable if it weren't real.
Do it lol
Rich people are seething that they couldn't get their puppet elected in a place that makes them so much money.
What a stupid fuck he is. Let’s suppose that a wave of people do ‘flee’ New York if they elect Mandani…. Should Texas welcome them with open arms? They would be ‘his type’ of people? What a dumb fucking thing to say….. barring all the rest of the issues with something so dumb…..
If he was smart he would promise them a gun and unlimited medical debt and payment in oil credits or whatever MAGAt people like.
It doesn't even make sense. He's just throwing around the word "tariff" because Republican dumbfucks don't know what it means but think it sounds harsh and Trumpy.
Navy ordered 6 new 60mm guns to shoot tariffs at enemy aircraft.
Oooh, high caliber twrrifs!
Hey Abbott, how's the plan to personally prevent every rape in texas going?
Someone needs to push his chair over
A cliff
Popular MAGA influencer Gunther Eagleman wrote on X: "Good! Now abolish property taxes for us that live here."
Take note: property taxes are part of the wealth taxes that people rightfully clamor for. Property tax is something you pay because of what you own, not what you earn.
If anything, property taxes should be progressive, with brackets, and there should be a progressive "stock ownership" tax, too. (Yes, there would be carve-outs for 401ks and IRAs and similar retirement investments.)
Are you trying to make sense of a MAGA soundbite again? They don't exist to make sense.
Republicans punishing Republicans
We hear b******* about how if New York raises taxes then some rich people are going to leave and that's supposed to hurt the city somehow. I don't understand that argument but people are making it and let's assume that they have some basis in reasoning to do so.
Except now he's going to make it more expensive for them to go to Texas. So they're more likely to stay in New York even if they're surrounded by socialists. Is that what he really wants to do? Because I think New Yorkers would like that, because then they can tax those rich m************.
What does that even mean?
It will cost Texans twice as much to buy themselves a New Yorker?
How is that even legal?
It isn't; the Privileges and Immunities clause of the constitution has been interpreted by previous SCOTUS decision to mean that people can move freely between the States without restrictions.
However, reactionaries like Abbott know they have ideological allies in the current SCOTUS who are eager to overturn case law in order to advance their shared conservative project.
A tariff on zero dollars is still zero. This means he'll be introducing an unnecessary, job-killing regulation that adds more pointless bureaucracy to Texas's already-extreme tax situation.
So, traditional Republican politics.
