Raised By Birds posted:I'm sure Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, El Paso, Austin, and the rest of the 46.5% of the state that voted for Biden will sign right up for the Neo Confederacy alongside East Washington, East Oregon and North California. Yeah, this is a totally hypothetical situation that will never happen in reality, but if Texas really did try to break away from the United States I feel like a lot of the state would want to stay part of America and we'd end up with the whole thing spilt in two which is technically legally allowed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_divisionism#:~:text=Texas%20divisionism%20is%20a%20mainly,into%20the%20Union%20in%201845. Again, never gonna happen, but Texas is far from unified in worship of Trump. Millions of Texans utterly hate that dude. Space Cadet Omoly fucked around with this message at 23:16 on Feb 5, 2021 |

Yeah like, Dallas went for Biden by 30%, Houston by 14% or something, Travis County where Austin is, was a margin of 45% for Biden, anyone who thinks Texas is some kind of ocean of red that would merrily split off to form Chudlandia is, well, exactly as smart as someone like Ben Garrison.

Red states seceding would be terrible for everyone who lives there and doesn't suck, but I still don't get how it wouldn't just result in the rest of the US becoming richer and having fewer ghouls in government. Would people living in California or wherever actually lose anything, or are BenG and his ilk just hopped up on proaganda?

The real divide in the US isn't between states at all but between urban and rural, making any kind of "clean" break likely resulting in a massive displacement of people ala Partition between Pakistan and India.

Sorry Garrison this one is incomprehensible to me, who is that guy in the bottom right? I'm racking my mind for important political people in positions of power that are in the news right now... and yeah, that person doesn't ring any bells.

It would suck for everyone involved and be a big hassle in a million ways both small and large and that's way it'll never happen. Breaking a country apart is awful all around, just look at North Korea and South Korea.

Also in spite of being a hyper rich first world democracy, SK also lives in constant fear of its insane neighbor attacking it. Imagine some kind of blue state wonderland country still having to live in terror of the autocratic militarized Christian taliban next door launching a crusade to win back its rightful American clay.

Oh, right, I didn't want this one to get by without saying a few things. 1: fuckin' seriously? 2: I wish Antifa was as scary and effective as the version that lives in conservatives' minds. 3: I am deeply suspicious that this is a recycled comic from the Bush years, he just replaced "New Orleans looters" with "capitol rioters" and "Al-Qaeda" with "Antifa."

Their conspiracy theories have always been self-insert swashbuckling fanfiction and not actual grounded anything. Of course they're not actually prepared or aware of a ton of insanely obvious real world problems they might face.

We are what we pretend to be. Dilbert's evolution as the comic went on was pretty stark too. In the earliest strips Dilbert was treated as a loser and a geek, and also kind of a moron. Dogbert was the clear Scott Adams insert back then. Also I don't know why I just remembered it, but I wonder if Scott Adams tweets shirtless pictures at people who mock him on Twitter still. He did that for a good while.

Yeah I think the Texas part of the snake detached, grew its own head, and is heading out on its own. And then the other parts of the snake are going to join up with the new head?

At first glance I thought this was a comic against MyPillow guy, but then I realized it was about NewsMax pulling him off the air since they are already looking at a huge defamation lawsuit from Dominion and don't want to give the lawyers even more ammo. Obviously, defamatory speech is explicitly not protected, but Chuds deliberately misinterpret freedom of speech to mean I can say anything I want at anytime entirely without consequences.
