Give Texas back to Mexico

Democrats regain their majority

No more Canadian Senator Lyin’ Ted Cruz

No more little piss baby Greg Abbot

No more border “cRiSis”

One less burdensome tax sucking shit-stain red state
- You would immediately have millions trying to leave texas, will you let them in to the us?
  
  Depends.
  
  Are they requesting asylum in a coal rolling pick-up truck with truck nuts?
  
  I'd probably lean no on this asylum seeker. Literal Captain Planet villains need not apply.
  
  Totally! We'd welcome anyone who wouldn't want to stay in there.
  
  No I think they should have to go back to where they came from like Europe. That's how they thinks it works when they yell that at born and breed Texans of non white backgrounds.
  
  Meet them at the border with the national guard. We don't want another border crisis do we?
- Agree. But Texas is one of the few red states that pays more federal taxes than it takes in federal money.
- Ugh. I hadn’t known he was from Calgary until you mentioned it. It tracks way too embarrassingly.
  
  Sooooorry,
- Yes, please. I want some of that universal health care.
For those who don't know, the image is from

Kim's Convenience (Netflix). A great show, from a used to be decent streamer.
- It was created and produced by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, not Netflix.
  
  Yup it was a CBC show, picked up by Netflix.
  
  I figured it would be easier to say it the way I did rather than doing the semantics dance, mainly because Netflix is (unfortunately) more recognizable than CBC to most people.
  
  Also, I'm unaware if CBC has a way to stream or watch the show on-demand.
  
  ETA: Thank you for the clarification add by the way.
- Which they canceled. That show was so good and they just canceled it with so many loose ends.
  
  Netflix didn't cancel it, since it was produced by the CBC. And apparently CBC didn't cancel it either, the creators decided to leave.
As a Texan, no, I don’t want to secede….
- You guys could have had Beto.
  
  I voted for Beto…
  
  If he just didn't say he would come for thier guns....
- Pretty sure your gov does. Maybe not vote him in again? I dunno, just a thought.
  
  I voted for Beto
  
  Ok, i did, but 55% didn't, do the rest of the need to suffer now?
  
  Voter suppression is hard at work in Texas. https://www.aclutx.org/en/news/5-ways-texas-suppresses-vote-and-how-make-your-vote-count
  
  Or is he just pandering to those folks who think they're serious about this, while fully knowing there's no way it could work?
- Might want to consider moving then
  
  That's how you make things a lot worse. In fact, more democrats are needed in Texas to overwhelm the rural vote, not less.
SECDEE!!!
- I triple-checked my spelling to make sure I didn't make that mistake
Is Texas talking about leaving really all that new?

Several years back I went to Woodlands TX for a business trip. There was a historical map of Texas on the wall of the CEO's office I was visiting. As I was asking questions about the oil rigs depicted, it was mentioned everytime the price of gas goes up, the separation of Texas talk goes up along with it.

Thankfully last year when I was down there the price of fuel was 2.87/G when it was 5.83/G in California.

However it seems they have found a new way to rile the population up now.
- Most people who talk about it aren't even serious about it either. It's just their version of, "someone should do something."
  
  Unfortunately that someone is the group that they've been brainwashed to hate.
As a person who lives in TX, i can help keep tabs on these treasonous prolapsed anus republicants
You back to the OGs? The native Americans, right?
- Native trespassers!
