Just your friendly reminder that Texas governor Greg Abbott is a racist piece of shit and probably a kkk member who used his powers as governor to free another bigoted racist killer Daniel Perry convicted by a jury of his peers. They don’t care if you murder their constituents as long as they can benefit politically from it.
" On May 29, 2020, days after George Floyd’s murder by a Minneapolis police officer prompted nationwide protests, Perry sent a text message saying, “I might go to Dallas to shoot looters.”
Two days later, according to the records, Perry said in a Facebook message that when he is in Dallas, “no protestors go near me or my car.”
“Can you catch me a negro daddy,” the other man replied.
“That is what I am hoping,” Perry said. "
That’s all red states.
That’s all
redstates.From California to Mississippi, the anti-tax era got everybody. Now states don’t have domestic revenue to pay for shit, so they have to go through the Feds for everything.
Ironic, in a way, since the core of anti-tax Republicanism was supposed to be about shrinking the size of government. But here we are, beholden to whichever idiot or asshole happens to be running the executive branch at a given moment
Remind me again why California needs the federal government as opposed to the other way around?
They don’t. If California stopped sending taxes to DC, the rest of the country would be fucked.
No, parts woukd be fine. New york, hawaii, alaska.
Hawaii would be fucked in the short term. They require so much from the mainland right now.
Alaska, yes.
New York, ehh? Would they though?
Got ports, got money, got canada. Got some domestic industry, unlike the looter states.
Illinois wasn’t mentioned
Im not gonna shit on alabama+ga. Death to their government and the old confederates, but multiple civil rights movements have kicked off there; they’re still fighting because enough of them stand with humanity. Florida is frustrating and annoying, but i think if all the fascists died tomorrow they’d be paragons of redneck virtue. Louisiana is drunk, they didn’t mean to, too diverse to paint with a broad brush, and have you tasted the food? Mississippi is fucked, but they’re fucked by poverty and the people who suffer largely aren’t the ones ruining the rest of our shit; they need regime change. Etc etc.
Texas is uniquely free of virtue. They have money; they use it to fuck over the restbof us, then ask for ours when their total lack of education or infrastructure gets them in trouble. They have resources, they dont fuvking build anything but parking lots woth them. Theyre uniquely positioned to stand against climate change, but always seem to stand for it. They ruin their natural beauty, they spit on their diversity, they destroy the rest of our educational systems, they get us into bullshit wars while constantly showing their cowardice.
Texans are uniquely awful, uniquely free of virtue, and not human in any meaningful way.
Alabama was proof of how shitty things have to get before people start taking action.
Don’t you wish there was a way to quit enabling these shit-kickin’ shitheads. To let them actually live what they preach, in isolation without their shitwater splashing and spilling around everywhere else.
None of their politicians asking for handouts behind closed doors and under the table, too embarrassed to admit to the voters that yes, indeed, a collective government IS extremely useful AND convenient when you need it the most, and not only when YOU need it but also when OTHERS need it, too.
But one might as well try and explain quantum mechanics to a goddamned brick wall.
It’s called secession.
Texas is America’s America.
The One-Star State
Texas wants their cake and to eat it too
same as it always was, the Alamo is a perfect example of this
renegade americans who want to establish their own country cant even defend the fucking place and it takes the US Army to come and rescue them… Never forget that the Alamo represents slavery the same way the Confederate flag does
Texas is the embodiment of the libertarian house cat analogy.
It doesn’t have a basement?
This one is going over my head. What about a basement? Where joke?
There’s a psychic in the movie that tells Peewee that the bicycle he lost is in the basement of the Alamo – the joke being that this is one of many instances where Peewee’s naivety gets the better of him, sending him off in another odd direction. The plot continually plays off his innocence.
Nowadays, visitors to the Alamo reference the question on tours as a running joke.
The top image will be recycled when it’s election season and they all vote Republican again.
I remember after the school shooting, uvalde county overwhelmingly voted for Abbot and Trump, Cruz, and every crooked judge and sheriff who did nothing while their children died. At a certain point sympathy evaporated for a community that is working against its own interests, and against the lives of their own kids. This is how I feel about Texas in particular among all the states, i just have no more empathy to spare for Texas.
Yeah. I get mississippi is fucked and most of the people who get fucked are poor and black and didnt ask for that. Louisiana is such a complicated mix, and besides, they were drunk; they didn’t mean it. I get florida got owned by fascists (they just want to party, and Florida man sounds fun as hell if he keeps a safe distance), even alabama has showed it spine and the people’s willingness to resist over and over again.
But texas… I just have no sympathy. These fucking moochers and looters who have the resources but refuse every trace of civilization no longer deserve our help. Theyre just goong to spend that money on guns and death squads and privatization that helps them fuck up like this again; at no point in their history as a US state have they been any better than this. Not another penny to these scum.
Edit: plus, they can make mexican food kinda suck. Do you have any idea how hard it is to use the right ingredients and make mexican food suck?
They did invest heavily in renewables. They executed pretty poorly because the power still goes out every storm but at least they tried.
