    That’s Texas, man. Don’t hold us responsible for Texas. They’re on a whole separate power grid from the whole rest of the country, and they’re being led by absolute maniacs who aren’t good at anything.

    But we should keep it in perspective – no one from our military suddenly announcing they were going to overthrow the leader and marched on the capital. The worst Texas did in this century was reject our electrical grid and power-outage a few of their citizens to death.

      700 people freeze to death in the US as a whole ANUALLY. You have to be a special kind of liberal to try and pretend that Texas is some separate entity from the US. I believe that’s what the kids call cope. There’s only a “few” people a year who die of freezing if you don’t count homeless people in the death tolls.

      If there’s one thing I can count on being reminded of any time I turn on any TV news channel, it’s that there have been no instances of anyone marching on the US capital to overthrow the elected leader in recent memory.
