Is this true Texans? And what other states do they control?

2. This needs to come to an end---enough damage done
I also think they have aligned themselves with the fundies--both have their own agendas.

5. They only own the parts of it that they want.
They're more than happy to ignore most of it, especially its people. They're glad slavery has been abolished. They don't actually want to be responsible for the people. Under the current system, they get all the cheap labor and riches they want but bear no responsibility for the damage they do. What could be better?

(snarky, but accurate)
