    The Texas Nationalist Movement (TNM) is campaigning for the Lone Star State to break away from the United States and become a fully independent country, using what it regards as the federal government’s failure to control the Texan-Mexican border as one justification.

    Just let the fuckers leave. Today. They can take their 2 Republican Senators and 38 Representatives (25R, 13D) with them. We’ll build a wall on the border and make them pay for it.

        Could Americans, just for once, take responsibility for their own shitty politicians and politics, rather than blaming it on foreigners? This “Putin secretly controls everything” bullshit is basically the same kind of conspiracy theory scapegoating that Republicans do with Qanon, and it’s bordering on fascistic in it’s attitude.

      I love shitting on Texas and Florida and, well every southern state, and most of the Midwest, and quite a few states out west, but as someone who lives in one of these areas I like to remind everyone that’s there’s a lot of decent people living in those states. That is all.
