Dumbest Timeline
the fact that a standing US Senator said he’s not ‘there yet’ on secession is fucking wild.
We have passed through the looking glass and fully entered the cool zone. This is going to accelerate real quick.
Texans have been saying this shit since they were trying to secede from Mexico so they could keep their slaves.
Does...does he think if Texas tried to secede, they would get the ENTIRE US MILITARY to themselves?
A lot of Texan secessionists believe any white person who sets foot on Texan soil does so out of direct fealty to Sam Houston himself instead of any other reason
I mean...even if this was a legal and peaceful secession....you don't just get all of NASA because of Houston or whatever.
Like...probably the land the mission control station and whatever are on, but all that other stuff is still US Federal Government property which would still exist and own it.
They can just put it somewhere else.Exactly how legal is it for a sitting US senator to entertain the illegal prospect of state secession
No one takes them seriously bc they know they're full of shit. Talking about secession is just a way for Texans to feel superior to other states bc "technically were the only state legally allowed to secede bc of our agreement with the US when we joined" which of course is asinine.
That agreement was that Texas could split into other states at the time of annexation, which is what happened. Pieces of the annexed territory ended up in Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Colorado. Anyone who says we can legally split doesn't get that it already happened.
Yeah I know but that’s the most common first thing ive heard from secessionists my whole life
Which kinda funnels back to why no one takes them seriously lol. It’s basically sovereign citizen level imagination
pretty wild that a us senator from one of the biggest states in the union can have such enormous cuck energy; ted truly is a little pain piggie
This is a nation of pain piggies. Even the sports Americans watch employ austerity measures and delayed gratification. 6 minutes off football and 30 minutes of slogging through commercials.
Americans love that self-flagelation.
FDR's fireside chats but they last three hours, Alex Jones is the guest, and FDR doesn't understand the topic.
Joe Rogan is some kind of biblical curse. Man had the hubris to create the internet but didn't consider what would happen when an audience of a hundred million people tuned in to listen to a man who has nothing but ham from ear to ear.
Hey fellas, would you like to solve every single male pathology and feel like a bodybuilder through a parasocial relationship where you don't have to go to the gym? Well I've got the answer for you, it's free, and it also includes thousands of hours of diluted fascist propaganda I'll pretend to not recognise.
Filled with "whoaaaa that's wild!" after Alex repeats himself explaining the inter-dimensional battle against the reptile people.
They say this is the great depression but like we can cure that it's called DMT have you heard about it
last time texas did it's own thing, it keep partitioning big chunks of itself off and selling them back to the US to stay afloat. then they didn't want to subdivide anymore so they just joined the US and had the US absorb their debts.
fuckin' let 'em. by the time they're back in the fold, "Texas" will be three used car lots and a gun range/church in Lubbock. the rest will be New Mexico.
This is so true, their ‘cities’ are literally partitioned into autonomous suburban enclaves lmao I imagine this is what Cruz and his ilk truly want, the decent people left in that place should get the fuck out.
Every person I've ever met who discusses Texas secession seriously means it in terms of creating a white ethno-state and all the other goofy stuff is cover. Also they're completely delusional when they talk about taking things that rely upon infrastructure that would vanish the second Texas is a separate country. Yes you'll take NASA and the military with what, Texan national guard troops who signed up for healthcare and order them to fire upon US marines who signed up for the GI bill and this will someone force the US to transfer all federal property in Texas to the newly established Serene Christian Anglo Republic of Texas. They'll just hand over all the ports and all trade partners will continue to send their boats to Houston and Port Arthur because they're just nice and believe in good old Texan values. Texas will of course maintain the same financial status as they currently enjoy and won't immediately sink into debt.
My cousins are secessionists and they always talk about it in vague terms of pride and heritage, nothing they actually need. There's no genuine political project that anyone here believes in. No one is legitimately trying to secede because it's not on anyone's material interests. It's always a smokescreen to talk about how much one wants a weird white Christian theocratic Texas and doesn't go any further than that.
The "SECEDE!" bumper stickers became popular beginning in November 2008 and that tells you everything you need to know.
Texas Patriots for Secession: "If we secede do we still get our Social Security monthly checks?" (pic)
Unfortunately, they went private https://www.facebook.com/groups/284068328434287/discussion/preview
Comrades.
When we stage our revolutionary electoralism and seize control of voting ourselves in to power we should let Texas secede as a punishment for being Texas. Everyone who wants to leave will, of course, be aided in getting out, leaving behind only true Texans. Their descent in to warlordism and privation will be swift yet pleasing.
Texas seceding would be a wild ride. You'd have all this wealth and labor tied up in big metro areas that the secessionists despise.
A big part of what makes this a fantasy is the belief that Ted Cruz speaks for the lay Texan, and not the goofy ass libertarians out in the suburbs who don't know where their treats come from.
I'm all for balkinization, but I don't think Texas Republicans have any real interest in it.
That’s a bad play comrade. The real power move is you give Mexico the go ahead to annex Texas back in exchange for anti-corruption and secularizing promises that are non binding but publicly released to inspire public support of the conflict domestically and in Mexico. Then you arm comrades in Mexico and the former state to fight the reactionary elements of Texas and whatever develops as it joins Mexico.
Fuck that we should put them (Texans^tm) in a pit and just give it back to the socialist states of Mexico
Texas is a pit have you been there? Half sweltering jungle half blasted desert. the material conditions of Texas is what makes people who live their assholes.
