Say Goodbye to Texas
Takimag ^ | 6/24/19 | Jim Goad

Posted on 06/27/2019 6:02:50 AM PDT by ek_hornbeck

I always liked the idea of Texas—a massive, arrogant, sun-scorched, red-blooded homeland for impenitent cattle rustlers who provided a cultural counterpoint to the sniffly, snobby classes of the Eastern seaboard. Back when America was all about expansion rather than retreat, Texas was far more American than anything you could scrape up from either coastline.

Except by then, the only crackers left will likely be in Poland. Or Hungary?

Not if the EU bureaucrats in Brussels have their way. Mohammed, Ahmed, Aliya, and Aisha are already becoming the most common baby names in Brussels and Amsterdam, the EUcrats won't rest until the same is true in Budapest and Warsaw.

George the Younger made in-roads in vote count

...by pandering to them and supporting amnesty and open borders. Just like the Democrats.

I live in Kansas, and last November I took a trip to Dallas. Hadn't been to Dallas in many years. Things I remembered about Dallas from previous years was the solid working class patriots, conservative values, friendly people, cowboy hats, lots of traffic, and ohhhh, the pretty ladies.

I saw nothing like that this time (except the traffic). Visited a shopping mall and coulda swore I was in a foreign country. And boy, did I miss seeing the pretty Texas ladies. What the hell happened?

If Texas goes blue, or even purple, the USA as many of us remembered it ain't coming back. Ever.

“When you replace us, who is going to pay for all your free crap? You will turn it into a shithole just like the one you came from, and somehow it will be the white man’s fault. Of this, I have zero doubt. Enjoy yourself, esay.”

I couldn’t agree more.

The problem for the rest of the country is, with CA, NY, IL, and TX all solidly blue, they’ll turn the entire country into a shithole.

Hard to believe, but I am glad I’m well into the back 9 of life.

Wrong. I live here. In 2019, the public schools (K-12) consist of only 27.7% white kids. Do the math.

Absolutely correct.

Texas was far more Texas than anything else. The East Coast was always different, but people from Kansas or Indiana might dispute whether Texas was more American than they were.

Whites continue to abort and contracept themselves out of existence.

They were warned. They didn't listen. These are the consequences. It's sad, but I won't weep for those who chose materialism and pleasure over raising children.

I live in Texas and travel mostly across the state because of family.. I can assure you that Texas will be gone in one more presidential election! You all can scream cry kick call me looney whatever but my prediction is Tx one whole presidential election from turning blue! You can’t stop it too many illegal invaders and liberals who have destroyed their own cities are moving in.! Once the Democrats dominate the state house Texas will never be red again! Yes extremely scary but it’s the truth!

I was in Dallas 10years ago for training. AT the McDonald’s, they had to bring a girl from the back to take our order, she was the only one who spoke a little English. And yes, the “communities” were from everywhere BUT America. I told my husband to get me the hell out of that crap hole and back to Indiana. I feel so sorry for my grandbabies and the hell we have allowed to happen to this country.

We have to build through our families, churches and civic groups, and be confident that we can appeal to newcomers on our own terms. If not, then it doesn't matter in the long term where we go.

This is 100% correct. Well said.

The fact is, Texas has been getting squeezed from all sides- illegals, blue state transplants, crony cheap labor capitalists and go along republicans- for decades.

We are rapidly at the point of no return. The most recent senate race with the Irish Mexican was a warning signal.

But Texas is not California.

Fifty years ago, California wasn't the California it is today.

Immigration has changed and is changing both states, California a lot more than Texas.

Texas has been better able to assimilate its Latino population, but will that last?

The changes in attitude among the White population have a big effect on politics.

Californians whose grandparents put Reagan in the governor's mansion and the White House have a very different way of looking at the world.

That may be happening in Texas now. White suburban voters don't think in the way that White rural voters did.

I'd bet not everybody who attacked Cornyn's tweet was Hispanic.

The left thinks that government creates wealth and can just print money and pay for anything and everything, the only obstacle holding them back from Utopia is is the evil right wing.

Spot on, Dr. Sivana. I’m a 4th generation American of Mexican extraction who was born and raised in (the once beautiful) California, but am now living happily in Arizona for the last 25 or so years. And I even lived in Texas for a little while in the military and I can tell you Texas is not California. Thank God, Texas is Texas.

I think what a lot of us don’t realize is that it only takes a small percentage of determined people to make the change. It is a parasitic people that think they can go to a country and live off the welfare of that country. Once the Boomers, GenXers, and half of the Millennials are gone. The next generation will not be as soft on them as we were. I’m seeing this in my 19yr old son and his friends. It’s going to be brutal one way or the other.

Nothing lasts forever. There's a reason the empires of Egypt, Greece and Rome are no longer. It's a very consistent cycle, with arcs drawn over centuries.

The intelligent, disciplined and determined create culture, develop technology, and agree to abide by a set of laws. This to protect both civil peace and ensure smooth commercial transactions. Eventually, however, the power center draws others looking for (marginal) support work, usually labor intensive. The originators, looking to enjoy some of their spoils, are more than happy to offload lots of menial tasks to the eager newcomers willing to work for crumbs.

Fast forward a few centuries: the core behavior of deferred gratification, impulse control and other so-called "virtues" are soon overwhelmed by dysfunctional attributes of the immigrants. Eventually, the demographic composition is altered to reflect the domination population basis of the migrants. Not long after, the civilization passes into history.

There's nothing you can do about this - it's as if we are genetically programmed to follow these patterns ie seeking comfort begins the process. All one is capable of is: (a) being smart enough to realize the pattern; and (b) recognizing where you are at present. Depending on the situation analysis, do you stay put, or is it time to punt?

Smart money says China will ascend the throne. Our new low IQ citizens will not be able to maintain sufficient technical leadership over the Chinese. This will manifest itself in both military weapons and the ability to deploy. One failed confrontation is all it will take to weaken the dollar standard. Once the global reserve is lost, the implosion will be immense. No reserve, no deficits, no debt - and thus the cycle will continue as the US becomes MX.

“In other words, if California of 50 years ago was like the Texas in the year 2000 (solidly conservative and representative of the rest of middle America), then Texas in about 20 years will be much like what California is today - Mexican masses ruled by a small liberal elite.”

I’m telling you for the 33rd time, if we don’t rein in our RAT-rn big cities effectively, we won’t have a country in a decade or less.

“The left thinks that government creates wealth and can just print money and pay for anything and everything, the only obstacle holding them back from Utopia is is the evil right wing.”

We are to blame as well. We let the left take over schools and turn them into indoctrination centers. Now, we have 2+ generations that are unable to think critically, have no understanding of economics or how our government was intended to function.

But they do know America was founded by evil, slave owning, white males. And that socialism is wonderful.

This country is headed for a monumental breakdown that will make the fall of the Soviet Union look like a garden party.
