The Kremlin loves these idiots.
Good sheep make the best voters.
Fear and Anger seem to be the strongest strings to puppeteer an idiot.
And vice versa. Easy bet these people would rather have Putin as president than Joe Biden.
Dude at the end looking at his two e's like he put them in the wrong order. Just priceless.
Republicans: "We'd win a 2nd civil war, we have all the guns!"
Bitch, do you think your civilian small-arms could stand against the full military might of the federal government!? Not even saying it's a good thing...
Historically yes, an uprising of civilians has a great chance at asymmetrical warfare on their own turf.
You can’t destroy your own infrastructure like you can someone else’s.
Will they win? Almost certainly not.
Can they force some concessions? Probably
If they secdee it is not "your own infrastructure" for the main country anymore.
It is though, they will still want to just reconquer and reconcile
They'd pull punches but lets not kid ourselves, Texas is not going to last very long against checks notes the entire United States military
They wouldn't stand a chance. They're power grid is so brittle. The US military would destroy it probably within minutes of an actual war being started. The people who can't stand the heat or the cold (depending on the time of year) would turn on them so quickly.
Just like the south in the civil war, they don't have the infrastructure for the logistics needed to fight a war.
It wouldn't happen like that. We would have an insurgency and lots of terrorist attacks. You would have towns and areas that are under insurgent control, with reprisal killings at night. Shit like that. I can't tell you to take it seriously, but you ought to at least consider how it would actually look if it happened.
- It's not going to happen
- If it did, they would lose
That doesn't mean I don't take it seriously. We already have electrical substations getting shot by "Y'all-Qaeda"...
Well even if they lose, I'm sure that won't be much comfort to the good people they kill along the way. I just don't think we should be glib at the thought of open civil conflict. Looking at it this way convinced me that I don't want to be without the means to defend myself and my loved ones in the event our "cold" civil war suddenly becomes "hot".
The south will ries agani!
If only it said the south will rye again.
Rye is awesome!
As a Canadian this reminds me of Quebec. They're always going on about seceding, but they're land locked, and without the rest of the country they'd be financially and socially FUCKED.
Reminder that Texas's yearly operating budget is roughly 51 billion, and they receive 62 billion in federal aid, so without the rest of the country, Texas can't even run the state
Quebec isn't landlocked...
Not only is it not landlocked, it separates all of the Atlantic Maritime provinces from the rest of Canada, and governs part of the Great Lake waterways.
but they're land locked
Yeah, except for the main East maritime entryway and port lol. Classic good ol' Quebec bashing.
Love how they get a random black guy/gal involved, like they wouldn't be decorating the nearest tree if these fuckers got their way.
they already tried to secede with their electric grid...
It collapsed...
oops?
Anybody good with anagrams care to tell me what it should or could say?
I cheated by knowing what the nutjobs want this time spoiler
texas should secede from the USA because Biden doesn't let them kill refugees
Thanks! I didn't know that word, so I would never have gotten that.
Also wtf!
"We'll make mariguana even more illegal! With harsher punishment! And we'll make legal guns even BIGGER 'n' faster! Don't tread on me YEEHAW!"
Them, too.
They kind of selling it though, looking at these tools makes you think perhaps it is a good idea for them to SECDEE the fuck off?
What the hell is this supposed to spell?
Secede
Facepalm
cd eees!
