Texas Republicans formally reject Biden's election as illegitimate

Hoo boy, here we go.

Can't they just secede?

The way their economy's going, that's really a net loss for the rest of the country if they fuck off.

Now this is exactly why the 2 times I was in Texas I loathed every second of it. The people seem so nice on the surface,but inside they are awful .

What a bunch of cunts!

And I thought Dems took the 2016 loss badly, this is an entirely new level of coping here.

Like toddlers, sticking their fat hands over their ears and screaming "NYAH NYAH NYAH, CAN'T HEAR YOU, DADA!" while drooling and wearing a diaper packed full of shit.

This will end in tears.

And what does the Texas Democrat platform say in response to this TXGOP childishness?

I would love it if the federal govt cuts Texas off completely, let them go their own way and see how that works.

R9 This only happened this morning.

This is another attack on having a country with legitimate elections. If this keeps up any politician that wins, who is left of right wing fascist nut job, will be declared illegitimate.

This isn't a joke, they are doing this to create chaos around elections and whether they are valid or not.

Say goodbye to any semblance of free society this is more Robert Mercer/Roy Cohn destroy society and remake it strategy.

It happened yesterday

Everything in Texas is bigger except brains which are the opposite.

This is insane. They're against federal income taxes....cool, don't take money from the federal government, then

I think this will backfire on the GOP.

When you convince your followers that elections aren’t fair and are rigged, it will inevitably lead some to believe that voting is a waste of time. If it’s already rigged, why bother?

Oh, please be cooperative. Pleeeeeese.

The extremists booed John Cornyn and attacked Dan Crenshaw. There is a breach forming between the all-out crazies and the moderate crazies of the Texas GOP. Their platform is totally nuts in every detail. This could work in our favor. They make a lot of noise but they don't have the numbers. Both gun control and abortion are supported by over 70% of the Texas population. Now if Dems just get off their asses and vote.

A Houston Chronicle journalist reported only 4,000 people showed up at their Convention. Over 10,000 was common in past years.

Motherfucking deplorable morons.

Are the Log Cabin Repigs feeling okay?

Property taxes in Texas cities are sky-high and climbing. They have to be as there is no state income tax. The GOP keeps them low in rural, GOP districts and the Dem cities have to pay for the schools in rural Texas. It's a grift.

R18, that sounds like what I predict happening. The hardcore Trumpists I have encountered over the past year proclaim their belief in a rigged election close to the start of our conversations to establish that they are true Republicans. They might not have believed it at first, but repetition plants doubts, which grow, until you have a bunch of people believing that elections are decided by a small group of elites which by nature aren’t true patriots or they wouldn’t be a part of the grift.

A number of those people will not bother voting again and, at least in the case of a elderly neighbor, didn’t vote in the last primary as a protest, and are telling everyone they know that they aren’t voting ever again and why.

I’ve known this particular neighbor for almost 20 years and he has always been pleasant and helpful but we always avoided political conversation because it was obvious our views were vastly different. He saw my political signs and I saw his, that was all. In the past year and a half since the election, he has told me two or three times that he’s not voting any longer because “they aren’t going to count my vote.” He’s as pleasant as ever and we still chat a couple of times a month about our gardens. He’s generally an intelligent conservative so this turn is so unexpected.

This man, previously politically involved enough to get yard signs and put them out in nearly every election, cannot be the only one who now is going to ‘take their ball and go home’ as it were.

Texas is repulsive

[quote]Can't they just secede?

The just-passed GOP platform in TX calls for the state to hold a referendum on whether it should secede.

We should be so lucky.

It's Texas. They all have guns. Can't they just shoot it out in the local mall?

I hope you’re right, Tony. I think I may sow a little chaos of my own and start posting on reich wing sites that “we should just stay home!”

Why not? They’ve been saying it to us for years and are putting $behind Yang to split votes.

Fuck ‘em.

It’s sad that Texas has completely lost their marbles and is now the leader for lies, guns for teenagers, and Trump boot licking. Many states like California have Texas on a no fly zone, meaning no government employees can attend conferences or travel to Texas. I think more states will continue to boycott them.

Houston democrat here and I hate to break it to all the "boo, texas" folks but this is how the GOP all over the country will be. We don't like the results of an election? Fine, we'll just declare it illegitimate and take it to court or keep the winner from being sworn in.

OP is once again THE troll. He’s playing both sides all over this thread.

Perhaps Mexico needs to invade Texas and make all the residents become low paid taqueria workers.

r28 is correct.

The entire Texas Republican party platform is batshit crazy.

Wasn't some governor's race or something in a southern state, not Texas, contested with the winner not being sworn in or something? I seem to remember this a few years ago when Shitbag was still president. I don't think I ever heard what happened with that. I think it was GA or one of the Carolinas.

Is it treasonous to do this if every court has said there was no election fraud AND the congress certified the election?

r34 not when the same played out with Trump's win. However, times are changing and one can continuously invoke Jan 6 as evidence of why this is a call to arms and insurrection because it's an organization and not just an idea.

I don’t know if the courts ever said there was no fraud, just that there was no evidence of fraud presented in affidavits, not even enough for a trial.

[quote] The sad thing is that the Dems are so out of touch with what the majority of American's want and care about that the INSANITY that is Trump and many Rethugs seems like a better option to so many. This thing is about to get uglier.

Any fraud found was with trumpublicans. They cheat.

[quote]The sad thing is that the Dems are so out of touch with what the majority of American's want and care about that the INSANITY that is Trump and many Rethugs seems like a better option to so many.

The majority wanted Hillary.

The Texas GOP also put into their platform that “homosexuality is an abnormal lifestyle choice” and a whole bunch of mean, hateful stuff to go along with it including supporting conversion therapy. The Texas Log Cabin Republicans are concerned.

It would be a godsend if Texas seceded and took their electoral college votes, two senators and pack their of jackals in the House with them. But that’s a pipe dream of course.

Fuck these ignorant redneck pieces of shit. The world has moved on and they can't stand it.

Are people in Austin, Houston and Dallas worried that rednecks will attack them if they are fat, black or Jewish? They seem very obsessed and angry.

Sorry meant gay not fat

R43 I'm white and gay. Neighbors here do not discuss politics. The worst I've seen were Trump Cornyn and Cruz signs in front yards.

No, no one is scared. Remember, in Texas Jews, Blacks and homos have guns too.

[quote]The Texas Log Cabin Republicans are concerned.

Fuck those faggots, that’s MY streetcorner and I’ve turned a fuckload of tricks with that line.

Texas Republicans are generally crazy. But somehow it was the craziest of the crazy that showed up for the convention. This is what the Republican “base” looks like.

Digging in on stupid.

[quote]Sorry meant gay not fat

Phew!

Any new bigot news from racist and homophobic Texas?

When they talk about seceding, I wish the democrats would say, "fine, but Texas belongs to the United States, you can do what ever you want, once you purchase Texas at fair market value"

This is America not some communist country where we give out states for free. Buy it. Buy the mineral rights, buy the water rights, buy the air rights, buy the name. Buy it ALL, at fair market value.

They're going to need tens of trillions of dollars before they can turn Texas into Dumbfuckastan

[quote] Texas Republicans formally reject Biden's election as illegitimate

So they accept that it was legitimate, OP/retard?

R50, why would we make it harder for them to secede? Fuck them!

It should be “When they talk about seceding, I wish the democrats would say, "fine.”

But don’t come crying to us when your electric grid goes out again after a dusting of snow. And don’t look to us for any money. You’re like the bad seed who gets thrown out of the house but comes crawling back when they can’t make it on their own. Tough shit.

R51 that's not a double negative.

good for them. democraps stole the election and they know it. hell, everybody knows it!

R54 Did you get lost on the way to stormfront again obese repig??

OMG won't Trump PLEASE shit in my mouth????

R54, you're not even worth a F&F.

El Paso can join New Mexico (as they're already on their power grid). The rest of TX can secede from the U.S. and enjoy being a little plutocracy with dwindling oil revenues—like a mini-Russia, but with less water. Maybe take Oklahoma with them.
