There’s no higher purpose for them than being edgy on the Interne.
It couldn’t be that I don’t want successful states financing conservative dystopias, right? It couldn’t be that I see conservatives controlling the US narrative and federal government as bad for everyone on the planet, right? That I understand the consequences very well, and consider it harm reduction compared to the current trajectory?
I’m afraid that you’re right, and that the US will become more Texas-like as a result. It’s too oil-addicted to say no. Their transition efforts show that they expect to continue consuming high levels of oil for at least the next few decades. They’re just going to keep sending more money to Texas to open up more wells, which Texas will then use to influence national policy and prevent attempts to properly transition and build resiliency for the future. A dangerous feedback loop - especially when most major nations are trying to get away from oil reliance. Even the Saudis have started diversifying in preparation. But I guess the US made its bed, and now it must lie in it.
I hope I’m lucky to live long enough to watch Texas secede. I’ll probably just watch the rest of the US become Texas, though.
Y’allQaeda is not something to encourage
My thoughts exactly!
last time a state tried to secede a civil war broke out
That’s right, you’ve got the idea! I would much prefer if they were left alone to implode of their own devices, though.
People who say this shit don’t care about history. Or facts. Or consequences.

No, surely it must just be the edge.
“chill bro, project 2025 is just edgy humor, we aren’t trying to overthrow democracy. We’re just being satirical. It’s all ironic.”
Texas makes up nearly half of the US’s domestic oil production, no way in hell they’d ever let that go.
