no one is explointing our state, matter of fact most recent polling shows the new transplants are overwhelmingly voting red in the most recent elections. They are moving here because they enjoy freedom not theft.
Lets not also forget Texas produces 70% of the oil the rest of the country uses, we refine 90% of it, and we supply 65% of all beef.
Show me that poll rofl. Youâve already demonstrated your fraught relationship with facts⌠Texas has been steadily moving blue over the last decade. Beto lost by less than 2 points in a statewide election⌠Rural areas are shrinking and liberal strongholds like Austin, Dallas and Houston are booming.
You clearly have no idea what youâre talking about
So your state runs on industries that are on a ticking clock? What a flex. Let us know how much your cows help you out when you secede and crumble when you arenât being subsidized by the federal teat (funded by blue states) anymore.
donât need a poll, look at the 2020 election map vs 2016 and 2012. Travis, Dallas, and Harris where more purple each year forward from 2012. Thats not to say they are purple, but the margin is slowly shrinking between overhwelming democrat vs republican in all 3 counties, which are also where the transplants are moving to. The only major change is the transplants.
Oh we donât take your federal money and we are more than happy to succeed, trust me we would rather leave, latest poll puts it at nearly 60% of this state want independence. Weâll do just fine
Isnât it socialist to have the government spoon-feed you team mates instead of pulling yourself up by the bootstraps like a red-blooded murican and doing it yourself?
wrong, red blooded Americanâs use tools to become more efficient, its a trait going back 150 years. Socialists on the other hand are the ones clamoring for no robot cashiers or line cooks, and hate the idea of self-driving trucks, because think of the people, when the people arenât nearly as efficient
I know how they vote, but one day their jobs will be replaced by machines, its the nature of things, and they will adapt into new careers, as has always happened, Iâm not interested in stopping or slowing capitalism, Iâm 100% on board with making it more efficient each and every year. I hope one day my job as a systems admin is replaced because a machine can do it, that means the economy grows more, and i can move into another career or retire. When we replaced sails with steam engines no one asked what about the riggers, when we replaced bakers with factories no one went about all the bakers, but no today everyone is going what about the truck drivers and the fry cooks, its absurd
I support unbridled capitalism and traditional values, just like any red-blooded American
As for previous statements about the death of beef or oil, thatâs a pipe dream. the Electric grid canât handle the current eclectic vehicles on the road, they also donât have the range or endurance to replace gasoline powered cars for anything more than limited city driving. When Electic has matured to the point a semi truck can go 1200 miles on a single charge and refill in 30 minutes then it has a chance, but nothing will ever replace grass feed beef as far as flavor goes
Or lets look at primaries, maybe Trump just grew less popular youâll claimâŚ
2016: 85,212 votes cast in the Republican Primary. 145,195 in the Democrat Primary
2020: 42,280 votes cast in the Republican Primary. 226,588 in the Democrat Primary.
Oh no wrong again⌠And not only are you wrong. Youâre very wrong. Youâre completely wrong. Youâre factually, statistically wrong. But to be fair, you never stood a chance. Facts do have a well-known liberal bias.
What we have now: Sit in Shatt, look at LFG chat for group youâd be interested in, join group, run to dungeon, maybe summon.
What RDF does: Sit in Shatt, queue up for dungeon, wait for queue to pop, join dungeon group and get teleported to dungeon.
Weâre literally just cutting out the whisper and running to the dungeon. There is nothing of value there at all. Iâd love to be convinced otherwise, but I donât understand why people are adamant against RDF. As long as you donât have cross-realm itâs just more convenient, more people will be doing dungeons even.
your not getting the full picture but thats ok. Also I wouldnât trust any sources from the actual travis county government, they are well known as liars and frauds, its why the rest of the state even Houston and Dallas laugh at them, and why the govenor has to keep having the AG look into them.
Saying Travis county produces factual documents is like saying its snowing in august
