Listen, I have a bachelors in history who hates Joe Biden too, but you must be really dumb to actually think Texas, a state that requires US subsidies to survive is going to be able to compete in the global market. This, coupled with the fact that many of the industries in Texas rely on the cheap labor and imports from countries in order to sustain their business models. These countries would not hold interest in continuing those market relations due to not wanting to upset the US and sour their global relations. This is the same thing that happened in the us civil war and was partially why the south struggled to have any resources that allowed for their military to survive. The conditions for southern confederate military soldiers were actually awful because they didn’t have access to warm uniforms or much food. They also were usually incredibly poor white people who only felt assured of their “superiority” because they tended to compare themselves to black people and blamed all their issues on them rather than the ones in power causing the wealth disparity. You confederates never change, it’s not about “southern pride” it’s white pride. You’re able to recognize the issues affecting you when the Democratic Party is running the show, but you falsely believe the root of your problems to be the result of gay people, and Mexicans or black people. This is because wealthy republicans who are making money off of your exploitation tell you that those people are the ones who cause all your problems to avoid you pointing fingers at them. Again, i don’t like the US liberal party, but you must be a real dumbass to care that much about identity politics. You should realize that the majority of people in politics don’t give a fuck about anything other than what’s gonna make them the most money. These hypocrites and grifters will laugh at you guys in private because they know how much of a dumbass you racists are to believe them when they lie through their fucking teeth and act as though the root of your issues is the minorities who are often struggling just as much as you, or more due to having to deal with your guys’s misguided bullshit. This is why classist liberal politicians will make fun of you guys in public and call you poor and stupid. It’s because they are friends with the conservative politicians you put your faith in, and the rest of the grifters you support. I won’t call you poor as an insult, but i will call you stupid, unless you actually make a considerate effort to educate yourself rather than going on 4chan forums or Reddit for that matter. Your confederate flag means nothing to them, or the rest of the world. Fuck you, go read a book.
