    Everyone is talking about how they don’t have the military power to win a civil war. I can’t get over how 1 day of freezing rain can end electricity in texas for weeks. Their infrastructure couldn’t handle some teens with a DIY hacking blog

      This is so fucking accurate. I don’t think people understand how FRAGILE infrastructure is in Texas. I was there during the “holy shit it’s snowing” event of 2014 and all of south Texas ran out of gas.

        Yeah, but since 2014 they learned their lesson and upgrad-

        HAHA no they fucking didn’t. Doing the right thing would require regulations and investments and Texas is against making good decisions.

      It’s like that one kid in school that acts all tough, but one slap and they collapse like a cheap lawn chair.

      This’ll be Texas if he US military turns it’s gaze inwards. One slap and about 50 years later, some pearl clutching “concerned mothers” will erect statues of Gravy Seals and call them “civil war heroes”.

      Let’s hope some of them are black and/or Hispanic, because at least the performative and fake commemorations erected will be diverse and representative this time around.

      Ofc you know I’m talking about the Confederate status, because losers do get trophies.
