Rep. Bob Good claimed the American people would not be adversely affected by a temporary government shutdown because, "most of what we do up here is bad anyway."
For the record… of all the states that might become a viable, independent nation, Texas is top two or three on that list. It’s probably the only red state that really has a chance. assuming it’s not horribly mismanaged.
and that’s kind of the point on picking on texas. the reason it’d fail as an independent nation is it’s horribly mismanaged and relies on federal aid for pretty much all of it’s infrastructure. Also, Texas is leading the way in ruining it for the rest of us- even more so than Florida. (For example the cherry-picked judge pushing anti-abortian policies through is in texas.)
Texan here. I realize this is a hypothetical, but please don’t generalize. My ass would be fucked, and places like Austin and larger cities are bastions of blue. Unfortunately it’s our rural trash that can’t die off fast enough.
I kinda feel like we should just evict Texas. Maybe Florida.
Watch as they regress into a total shit show and demand being let back in.
Yes. I may be feeling kind of petty.
The older I get, the more convinced I am that the North only won militarily while the South won the real war.
The issue being things like the Kirk-Holden War.
Me, a Texan: At least I don’t live in Florida
FuglyDuck: Boot Texas! Florida ain’t too bad…
Me, a sad Texan: Get Sally Struthers down here for my disadvantaged ass!

Like Brexit but worse

I think you spelled “better” wrong.
Depends on which perspective you look at it
