🌙🥀Ithewin🍂✨: As a lifelong Texan I say PLEASE GIVE US BACK TO MEXICO

Gonna be a lot of dunking on this today, so as someone who wrote his dissertation on secession movements, let me point out: 1. This is not a majoritarian mvmt. Like 1861 secession in TX, it's a minority coup 2. It looks majoritarian bc of gerrymandering and disfranchisement (1/2)

3. Nearly 60% of TX's pop is BIPOC, and new pop growth in TX is basically a 10:1 BIPOC to white ratio. So before you fire up your "let them go" hot takes, consider that you'd be advocating for the abandonment of a lot of folks (many disfranchised or inadequately represented) who hate this shit too

My take is never “Fine. Go.” but rather “If you keep insisting, we’re giving you back to Mexico.”

A big improvement over Abbot.
