I know so mаny аmаzing pаtriots in the greаt stаte of Texаs, аnd I love Texаs, thаt hаve been wаiting аnd аre willing for this moment. Deputize а citizen force, put them on the border, give them hаndcuffs, get it done. Sure thаt’s drаmаtic. You know whаt’s drаmаtic? The invаsion of the country. We’re going to tаlk more аbout thаt, we’re going to tаlk аbout how the other side hаs openly аdmitted thаt this is аbout bringing in voters thаt they wаnt аnd thаt they like аnd honestly, diminishing аnd decreаsing white demogrаphics in Americа. We’re going to sаy thаt pаrt out loud, аs so mаny people in the corporаte mediа аre аfrаid to tаlk аbout it.

I should probably be concerned about the increasingly-brazen descent into far right politics America is going through as capitalism further decays and its defenders look to fascism. But I’m honestly only mildly shocked and even a bit apathetic about it at this point. :shrug-outta-hecks:

    In the Mexican American war the US took everything from Texas to California, but decided to not go past that because they didn’t want that many brown people becoming American citizens

      New Mexico wasn't allowed to be a state until the white people outnumbered the indigenous and Mexican. It had the population requirement immediately and in theory the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ensured that all Mexican citizens who remained in the annexed territory would be granted full US citizenship. Mexican citizenship applied to all people's regardless of race, so the Southwest courts had some legal grey areas for decades to avoid giving brown New Mexicans rights to property and citizenship.

        Also worth pointing out the Texas Independence War was sparked by white Anglo-American land owners refusing to adhere to Mexican law, which included them being obligated to free their slaves. The US supported them and eventually incorporated Texas as a slave state. Texas then stripped Tejanos of power for racial reasons (despite them helping in the war) and gave an ultimatum to free blacks to either leave the state or risk enslavement.

        I wish Texan Founding Myth got the same attention and scrutiny that the Lost Cause of the South has been finally getting.
