If Trump loses the 2024 election because Texas temporarily secedes, taking its 38 Republican electoral votes with it, I might die from the schadenfreude.
1.Just give Texas back to Mexico.
2.Reverse UNO
3.White Republicans are now the immigrants on the wrong side of the border
4.Enjoy some queso
Mexico 2 days later: Amigo, please take these fuck faces back
Or cartel runs in and they have a lucrative cash for drugs trade, that they mostly funnel into other states for profit not seeing the irony in any if it...
probably quadrupling the length of border with Mexico.
the issue with that is that cartels like being paid for their products as much as any business- legitimate or otherwise. Texas won't be able to pay when we remove them from the US banking system. there's not enough cash to go around, and they'll probably have to mint their own currency.
Which... the Cartel won't be dumb enough to do business in... which means they'll have to do business in stuff like gold or whatever else.
Guns
the cartels already have better guns than most texans, so, yeah.
I mean as of like a year or so ago they were reporting that they still paid 3-4x per AR type variants and 2-3x most handguns and like 5x the price of a 1911 presidente chambered in 38 super. There definitely still is a market.
Tesla becoming a mexican business lmao
👌chef’s kiss
Americans who move to other countries always call themselves expats since immigrants are “those other people”.
All the morons screaming about colonization aboard are already packing their bags to leave Texas right? RIGHT? California too, if they're anything but sjw Jack offs.
I haven't had an orgasm since 2017, but I think that would do it.
What happened in 2017
Their last orgasm obviously.
