Isn’t this against the US constitution? Razor wire along the state border and checkpoints on roads that cross the state border are kind of nuts. I read a comment joking that the wire and road checkpoints were to keep Texan women from escaping to New Mexico, which got a bitter laugh out of me.

    Didn’t Texas say last year that they wanted to try being independent from the USA? I’m not from the US (anymore) so I’m not sure but I kind of remember that being said.

    Isn’t this like testing the waters in some way?

      The Texas GOP floats that idea every few years because they’re a bunch of whiny piss babies and think being rebellious is cool and edgy

      I’ll help them pack. If I could never hear from that fucking state again, I’d be happy.

        Maybe Texas and Puerto Rico can swap status. Puerto Rico can become a state in exchange for Texas freeing up the slot, then we don’t even need to change any songs or anything.
