They want it both ways..."Don't mess with Texas" for example. And yet half of what ya hear down there is, "CA is turning us blue, we're doomed...help us"....lol
I love the concept of Texas and the “Don’t Mess with Texas” mindset. But I know they had (and have) their own home grown liberals with the likes of Ann Richards in the past, and probably the entire city of Austin notwithstanding, but the conservative nature of the state always seemed to survive.
I understand their particular problem with the Mexican border which does indeed pose a major danger to them if illegals are allowed to vote.
I am just puzzled as to why liberalism isn’t seen primarily as a national problem as opposed to a state problem (in our current environment with weaker state’s rights) and if the population in a state shifts in the liberal direction, the answer is to somehow demonize the people from some other state and blame them for the downfall instead of fighting for what is right for your state.
I view Leftism as a cancer, and our country is the host. Putting a tourniquet on an arm to keep it away is not going to keep the cancer out of the arm.
You just lose the patient and the arm goes with it.
