    Parts of Texas are fairly blue (mostly the southern half). If dems would push to split Texas into multiple states, they’d get more electoral college seats. And these new states would get better representation.

      I’m wondering if the people behind him really do want to do all this or if he is full of hot air. I doubt, for all his bluster he that independent. If they want to do this, then it must be a deliberate decision to paralyze the country for some reason. Why, I have no clue.

    I’m going to make sure I call it a “donvict tax” and call it “donvictflation” whenever I’m within earshot of redhats or suspected redhats.
