As I started reading this thread, I was actually thankful to be a Floridian, thinking that even DeSatan isn't this stupid. Then again.🤔🤔🤔

The next time TX threatens to secede, let them. Then let Puerto Rico in. We won't even have to change the flag.

and what about the black, Mexican-American, LGBTQI communities, and of low income?

I have a Liberal Texan friend who probably can't leave because of a seriously disabled husband, if she/they wanted to. She's proud of being a Texan and a Liberal.

Another new acquaintance Liberal ex-Texan - she moved with her wife to Florida (why they chose Fla - don't know them well enough to ask).

My second ex-Texas girlfriend is African-American and
has no intention of moving back unless maybe it changes back to blue!

I cringe to imagine what's next. Since affluent women can travel to other states, that leaves only the less affluent and rural women. In Mary Trump's book, she talks about the forced sterilizations of the early 20th century...
