Right after they convince Russia to end the war in Ukraine, right?

Face it. This is the world that the voters chose. (And yes, there has been a growing Right Wing political movement in most of Europe that has been pushing for this too.)

Their desire for dopamine kicks from pointless thumbs up numbers from strangers online is more powerful than their desire to not support Nazis.

When did progressives get all “Got mine first!”

I mean the selfish carelessness of progressives today is really astonishing.

If your job sucks so bad because you have to make the most minor accommodations for your co-workers families, then just quit your job. Like, you have no responsibilities and nothing holding you back. What’s your problem?

Did you know that parents also would like to go to the dentist?

“I need to run out early to take my kids to the dentist.”

“I need to run out early to… Well nothing. I have no other actual responsibilities. I just want to leave.”

Sorry, but not the same things.

The biggest difference is that the state is still controlled by the federal government. If it wasn’t subservient to the US Federal government then a lot of things about it would have to change.

It would be a completely different place. I imagine it would closely resemble a Christian version of Turkey in a lot of ways.

“They” are not.

It’s just one dude and that’s not going anywhere. It would require agreement of not only New Mexico (which is a non starter) and the federal government, which is equally not going to happen.

If Texas became it’s own nation, it would probably become a cross between Russia and Switzerland. It would quickly develop a highly centralized oligarchy, basically operating off of oil and gas exports, while still having good relationships with it’s larger neighbors and have beneficial tax policies.

It would become a great safe place for super rich people to hide money while it’s actual population declines economically.
