We're Number 48!

[douglas9]

That’s right, folks, even as Greg Magical Thinking Abbott proclaimed the Coronavirus pandemic over and rescinded all statewide restrictions, the pandemic continues to rage and continues to take lives. Our positivity rate is 13.5% this week, nearly triple the rate the CDC recommends before opening. One top of that, Texas ranks 48th in vaccinations, with less than 7% of Texans vaccinated. The positivity rate now is about the same as last October when the pandemic was beginning its holiday spike that killed thousands of Texans. What Abbott is doing is stupid. The real tragedy is that he’s smart enough to know it’s stupid, but having now lost a lot of the center after letting millions of Texans freeze in the dark, his only path to keeping his job next year is to take the Trump path, whip up the extreme right mouthbreathers.

[4Q2u2]

1. Everthing is Bigger in Texas

Including the A-holes.

[Omnipresent]

2. I'm envisioning a state, succeeding from the union...

And a Great Wall being built to keep its deplorables self contained within it.
Can that be an American dream?

3. That will tear the Pukes further apart

If Texas thinks that the GOPpers are going to just sit by and lose 38 Electoral Votes [Possible Growing due to Tech moves].
They are crazy. There will never be another Puke in the White House.

But one can only Dream.

4. It's bad enough that my Home State is run by idiots

but some people want to lock us in with the rest. This numbers show that Texas is leaning more blue than red. What needs to be done is to encourage the majority to vote in every election.

Survey year-2014 Republican/lean Rep = 39%, No lean = 21%, Democrat/lean Dem. = 40% Sample Size = 2,535
Survey year-2017 Republican/lean Rep = 39%, No lean = 20%, Democrat/lean Dem. = 41% Sample Size = 2,266

5. I'm so sorry that idiots in your state treat Texas like the Titanic after it hit the iceberg.

You might have to leave, because the governor has no plan to save you.

Texas, went for trump by about 400,000 votes, so I’m not sure how its even purple.

9. Voter suppression makes the percentages almost meaningless

Republicans know they're outnumbered and must cheat to win. There are over 160 bills currently in the works in red states to make it difficult for Democrats to vote. Especially minority Democrats. And Texas is right up there, trying to disenfranchise Democrats as much as they possibly can.

Hopefully, the Democrats in Washington can pass legislation to put a stop to this crap before 2022 rolls around.

10. It's not gonna cede

Sorry......
The USA is gonna still gonna have to deal with Texas.

[LeftInTX]

11. The final word about Texas ceding: They only talk about it when there is a Democratic president

It's a "dog whistle"....Like "Don't California my Texas"..

"Don't California my Texas" is popular when there are Republican presidents, because it's all about Texas being conservative.

When there is a Democratic president, Texans will call to cede as means of resisting the federal government, but it's just a bunch of hot air. It means the AG and Gov will resist the federal government when they don't like things like immigration, but they won't resist when it the get more money for military bases.

You won't hear it when there is a Republican president.

It's kinda like that crazy plan to break California into a bunch of states. Not gonna happen.

6. Proof that Republicans are the Party of Death.

[Efilroft Sul]

7. Abbott is now a virus asset.

[Evolve Dammit]

8. This will prove to be a colossal mistake.
