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.

You have to realize the end goal of all of this is to break down the United States to the point that it loses it’s individualism and identity and thus naturally melds with the global community - think “Borg”. We’re the last domino, and Texas is one of the last key pieces to facilitate the transformation. It’s just a matter of time, and it could very well be the next election cycle.

It will be very difficult to un rat Texas cities.

Productive people move out to the surrounding counties and are replaced with wealthy libs and illegals.

The main problem with Texas is that the “queers” now outnumber the “steers” here. When you’ve got wacky politicians banning chicken sandwiches from one of Texas’ major airports because a radical homosexual Nazi group is “offended” by chicken sandwiches, you know that the state has gone to hell.

I wrote this reply to some armchair warriors unthinkingly assuming the US will perpetually dominate global security:

You guys seem pretty confident in your assertions. I'm sincerely curious how you reach those conclusions given a number of variables, including demographic & economic factors. How about we go through a logic test to establish where you stand and how you got there?

Do you agree or disagree that California, the west coast (OR/WA) and mountain states (NV/CO) represent the trend line for the USA as a whole? I'm going to assume that you agree, otherwise I can see we're going to have a problem with you further explaining yourselves. Alright, so as it stands, these states represent about 18%+- of the population - California alone is 12%.

Next, which articles posted at FR and other conservative forums seem to be most prevalent? Could it be the homeless problem? What about income differentials? Maybe illegal immigration springs to mind? And of course, I hope no is attempting to dispute that these regions are - and will continue to be - the premier technological R & D constituencies not only in the US, but globally as well.

Alrighty then, let's add up all these culturally dominant factors, and ask ourselves: who exactly is going to be developing future US technical goods & services? I assume you've read (or are least familiar with the Bell Curve), so I will further assume you realize that hispanics have a collective IQ of 92. (And this was 25 years ago before the flood of even less intelligent peasants.)

Exactly who is going to be stealing from whom? And what makes this really interesting, is that as the Chinese & Indians so thoroughly dominate Silicon valley hiring pools, who exactly is the originator? Our new citizens from south of the border?

Guys like you really have me scratching my head, because we have situations like Navy ships continuing to hit others, odd & perverse diversity hires & promotions, and continuing erosion to US security methods and procedures. Yet somehow, someway, the mythical US will continue to be the leading source both technology development and deployment? Something doesn't compute, and my thinking is you guys are simply practicing wishful thinking.

Smart money knows it's gonna be more significant than simple blanket statements of faith.

“I’ve been to Houston recently, after being away about 25 years. What a change! In some parts of the city, you think you’re in Bombay. In other parts, you’d think you were somewhere in the Middle East - half the women are wearing head-scarfs. What the hell happened? “

Well your buddy “bgill” says that they’re “Californians” in the post just above yours.
Maybe that’s because he’s unwilling to admit that Texas’ problems didn’ really come from California, but rather from Mexico, and the Far and Middle East, and that “white guys” in your government arranged for them to come to your state.
Go to Austin and see who’s going to UTA these days, they aren’t “Californians!”

“It will be very difficult to un rat Texas cities.”

It’s going to be difficult to un-RAT ALL the big cities in our country. Actually, there are days when I believe that America will fail despite the intervention of Donald J. Trump. White People will cease to exist in a few decades, their numbers being bastardized by ther women being impregnated by the invading trash. It was a wonderful ride, but it was short-lived. And the Jews will go as well since their men favor marrying Shiksas.

No, I believe it's further out; maybe 50-100 years. First the USA as it currently exists has to fail. By that, the dollar must lose its global reserve status. Without that, the US cannot finance the welfare state and maintain social order.

This why Trump really isn't "the guy". If he were, he would have launched 'hot' action against the deep state conspirators, as well as departments in mutiny (State, DoJ), along with certain states in insurrection (CA/NY). But he didn't, and I think we can assume with 99.99% confidence that he isn't, so the future is set.

This is where I think Matt calls it: the real savior will be younger, much more cunning and a whole lot more ruthless. True civil wars, whether Roman, English, French et al can take out up to 20% of the civilian population. We're not there yet - you can tell because no one is really desperate.

That time will come in the future.

I don’t see one iota of anything that I’ve written in this post! I don’t see myself as a “guys like you” to which you are referring.

It will be very difficult to unrat the two legged variety in any city. Nature has a plan. It is called Natural Selection or the Survival of the fittest. That will take care of the two legged rats.

Totally agree with your assessment. Pisses me off that more people don’t see that, especially here.

Same here only it was Opalocka, FL in 1990. Went to Burger King for supper and no one at the front counter spoke English. They had to go get the manager, a white girl, to take the order. Very eye opening experience.

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

Some, sure, though he could never out-pander the Dems. I think his Mexican wife had more to do with it for at least some of fhem.

The old saying was “as CA goes, so goes the Nation”.

Now it’s “as TX goes so goes the Nation”.

Liberalism is a Cancer. The Normals are being segregated into the remaining Red States (we were) and as each one of those States gets infested (infected) with Liberals over time the same pattern repeats itself.

You could almost envision that it’s part of a Master Plan.

Long-term demographic trends everywhere are not good for Conservatives.

If present trends persist they’ll just need to hunker down and wait for enough of us to die.

Blaming everything on migrating Californians is just picking the low hanging Fruit off the Tree.

Many Californians who left (like me) are Conservatives who realized they have absolutely no voice and no Representation in that State. We are the same people who feel they’re being forced to support Governmental Policies that are adverse to everything we believe in.

When EVERY Candidate and EVERY Ballot Proposition you Vote for (or against) goes the other way in EVERY recent Election you participated in, the writing is on the Wall.

My little oasis in the Hill Country of TX as recent as 10 years ago was realitively quiet and unspoiled. I could drive 20 miles to town and count on one hand the number of cars we passed. Yesterday, just driving 5 miles, there was so much bumper to bumper traffic that I came home and cried. Our little rural neighborhood road is difficult to get down due to all the vehicles parked on both sides and all the new construction. This was supposed to be our last home but what used to be so peaceful and quiet has turned into Times Square. Sadly, due to all the new liberal rules and regulations placed on every little thing we’re allowed to do and not do on our own property, we’re looking to move. Problem is where is where can we live peacefully anymore.

ICE could pick up a bus load of illegals on every corner but they can’t be bothered. Ten years ago, our kid came home from school to ask why there were so many Mexicans (illegals) suddenly in school. I had students tell me all cartels back in Mexico and others who failed to see why they had to come here legally. This “crisis at the border” has been here much longer than last week.

I feel your pain. We were lamenting the other day that the “country” we moved to 47 years ago has fallen into the hands of the developers as of about 3 years ago. It’s been nice but all good things must come to an end. There’s a store in what’s left of our little hamlet that is nothing but Hispanics and Hub has told me if I had to drive 5 miles for a loaf of bread, so be it. He went in that store a few months back on some holiday and every customer had cases of beer and lines down the aisles. God bless in what used to be our little corner of country heaven........sigh

Ah, I see you're at the anger stage. Denial can last for long periods of time. Negotiation comes next - that's what Trump is selling, hoping for change. When people begin to realize he's just talking his own book - made quite evident by the stark contrast of what would really happen in crisis - then we get the feeling of betrayal. AKA anger at the him, the system, others who seemingly don't get it.

Next comes depression. The time on this varies; it really depends on how quickly you assess the situation. Last is acceptance - the knowledge that the process was initiated long before many were born. The fix was in from at least 1965 immigration act. It's why the GOP joined the progs in supporting illegals - they knew the inside line.

That the fix has been in for a long time also explains why the GOP views normal people with such disdain. I sort of agree that once you see clueless Trump supporters at his rallies, one can begin to view them as marks ripe for the plucking. It's also why the uniparty thinks Trump is declasse; he knows the score, but gets to satisfy his ego by appealing to the last remnant.

If your current situation were fixable, the Romans would have been able to pull it off 1,600 years ago. They failed for the same reasons the USA will fail: by the time anyone can see the effect of migration, it's already too late to stop the demographic wave.

It seems many Texans (mostly Houston Dallas retirees) are headed to places like Tyler. Good medical setup and pretty mid-sized town. I inherited a very old historic home there (said by many to be Tyler’s oldest). Talking with people there over the last 3 years as we pick slowly on this project there are many coming there. They have IA’s but not as many.
My husband found a really good deal on raw acreage near Mount Enterprise.
Prolly not as cool as living in Hill Country (bless your heart) but it is much less populous-Lots of BAPTISTS.

Great post! We’re on acreage (not much) so at least we can’t hear the neighbors goings on (even though there are no goings on here). We’re somewhat tied to this place due to the fact that Hub (who worked for the City of Houston for 30 years) has to stay close to the Medical Center. He’s a transplant patient and we’ve built so many memories here on this place....lots of kids in and out, lots of animals loved and lost and buried here....our two kids were raised in this house and we’ve told the kids we want our ashes spread over this place and we pray we leave here feet first.......
