Texas GOP declares Biden illegitimate, demands end to abortion

"We hold that acting President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. was not legitimately elected by the people of the United States," says a resolution acted on by Texas Republicans.

It also includes language that suggests this is a pretext to start actual serious conversations about secession.

...I'm genuinely concerned about my future in this state comrades.

Edit: i've lived in Texas the majority of my life so I am fully aware that republican idiots talk about about secession ever other day or more and have as long as I've been alive. But as far as I'm aware this hasn't been in their official platform and the fact that this is combined with their statement on Biden tells me this is a measure or two more serious than idiot tough guy talk.

    This is so dumb.

    Everybody wants capitalism and bourgeois "democracy" to end, even the chuds are done with it, the only people that want it are the haphazard centrists and neolibs but they won't put up a fight to defend their stupid system - so really, they want it to end to and just move on to direct rule by Bezos or whatever capitalist they like. All they'll do is vote or just complain on twitter anyway if pressed - imagine a dorky neolib grab a gun to defend democracy or hold up in a tent for 10 months and risk dieing of dysentery without seeing combat, it's a fucking joke. Chuds have the death drive pushing them to make stupid moves and just want soo badly to die with some sense of honour in a civil war, it's like a chickenhawk thing where chuds are begging their buddies to hold them back and the other side is just some dofus driving away in a mercedes.

    It'd be nice if their self-destruction could work it's way out as social isolation and a drug habit instead of oppression or just straight murder of LGBTQ+ people and black people.
