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

[–] rustydomino@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago

Agree. But Texas is one of the few red states that pays more federal taxes than it takes in federal money.

[–] hglman@lemmy.ml 10 points 9 months ago (4 children)

You would immediately have millions trying to leave texas, will you let them in to the us?

[–] AllonzeeLV@lemmy.world 21 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] Steve@startrek.website 6 points 9 months ago

That type might well be seeking asylum IN Texas…

[–] perishthethought@lemm.ee 11 points 9 months ago

Totally! We'd welcome anyone who wouldn't want to stay in there.

[–] WashedOver@lemmy.ca 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You do realize that not every Texan is like that, right?

[–] WashedOver@lemmy.ca 3 points 9 months ago

I sure hope not!

[–] tinyVoltron@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

Meet them at the border with the national guard. We don't want another border crisis do we?

[–] JizzmasterD@lemmy.ca 7 points 9 months ago

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.

[–] IronicDeadPan@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] LittleTarsier@lemmy.ca 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

CBC has an app called CBC Gem where you can watch for free :)

[–] IronicDeadPan@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Well T.I.L. Thank you.

[–] ComradePorkRoll@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Which they canceled. That show was so good and they just canceled it with so many loose ends.

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 13 points 9 months ago

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.

[–] Grobmobularb@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago (3 children)

As a Texan, no, I don’t want to secede….

[–] Landmammals@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago (2 children)

You guys could have had Beto.

[–] Grobmobularb@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

I voted for Beto…

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 5 points 9 months ago (2 children)

If he just didn't say he would come for thier guns....

[–] problematicPanther@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

There are some things you don't say in Texas. That's one of them.

[–] Landmammals@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Yep

Given the choice between a football field filled with child sized coffins, and an abusive psychopath being denied immediate access to a firearm due to a red flag law, Texans will be upset that there are coffins all over the football field.

[–] Grobmobularb@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Exactly. But so did Drumpf, but it’s ok because he said it.

[–] DigitalNirvana@lemm.ee 9 points 9 months ago (4 children)

Pretty sure your gov does. Maybe not vote him in again? I dunno, just a thought.

[–] Grobmobularb@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

I voted for Beto

[–] hglman@lemmy.ml 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Ok, i did, but 55% didn't, do the rest of the need to suffer now?

[–] ThrowawayInTheYear23@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Just ask the women forced to give birth even at the cost of their own lives in shit hole states like LA, TX etc

[–] perishthethought@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago

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?

[–] BoxerDevil@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Might want to consider moving then

[–] pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 2 points 9 months ago (2 children)

That's how you make things a lot worse. In fact, more democrats are needed in Texas to overwhelm the rural vote, not less.

[–] YtA4QCam2A9j7EfTgHrH@infosec.pub 1 points 9 months ago

I live in Missouri. I moved here when it was a swing state. I would leave if I could due to how frightening the political situation is.

[–] BoxerDevil@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

We may be past that point.

[–] Tristaniopsis@aussie.zone 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)
[–] perishthethought@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago

I triple-checked my spelling to make sure I didn't make that mistake

[–] WashedOver@lemmy.ca 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] dan42O@infosec.pub 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You back to the OGs? The native Americans, right?

[–] bajabound@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Native trespassers!
