I have considered your scorn in the context of the situation referenced as well as the phrase, "Don't mess with Texas." It was an advertising slogan devised for the department of transportation in the 1980s to encourage Texans to stop throwing their beer cans and other litter on the road. It was crafted deliberately to appeal to the rugged individualistic Texan psyche, to manipulate them into viewing littering on grounds owned by the state of Texas as a besmirchment of the very concept of being Texan; an attack on the honor every Texan. It was subsequently adopted by other forces looking to achieve some sort of resonance with Texans while issuing a general challenge to the world, from numerous artists and musicians using it as a lyrical phrase, to Governor George Bush using it to appeal to his base, to the U.S. Navy (painting it on one of their nuclear submarines), to the Confederate Air Force (a warbird preservation society styling itself literally into squadrons, which following criticism and mocking eventually became the Commemorative Air Force instead of something with a brazenly racist name) using it in a commercial where a B-17 bomber one of their members owned lined up a bombing run on a litterbug.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlFD0Zyl_f0

Ominous threats and the obvious message of "please don't litter" aside, the phrase itself has two contextually important meanings. The first is, "I'm trying to manipulate Texans." The second is, "I've so thoroughly huffed my own Texan farts that I really believe in this idea of Texan exceptionalism."

In the former context my words could be seen as a challenge to Texans: prove yourselves or be mocked. In the latter, it's just openly mocking the very idea of anything about Texas being exceptional or worthy of praise; quintessential punching down, which is at best in bad taste. The situation in Texas, where their infrastructure failed badly and repeatedly for want of any sort of planning for unusually cold conditions (something less likely to have happened had the Texan power grid been subjected to federal oversight like the other electrical grids in America), where their political leadership failed to lead (something completely predictable), and where their ability to provide electricity at reasonable cost to their citizens resulted in one electric company filing chapter 11 bankruptcy and another having a massive class-action lawsuit filed against it (and being denied access to wholesale electricity following their gouging Texans) was a comedy of failures where the people who were hurt the most were the ones who are, largely, the most susceptible to overt manipulation like "Don't Mess With Texas."

In conclusion, lol.

Look, appealing to Latinos in Texas would have required money and effort that NEEDED to go to flipping the county where The Villages are located, and thus turning Florida blue.

...wait, what? What's that you're telling me? They didn't flip Florida or even that county? It was a total waste of money and effort and the Lincoln Project was a pedophile-owned grift?!:monocle:

the entire concept of “blue Texas” is just demographics is destiny navel gazing. of course Latinos will vote for us, what are they going to do, vote for the freaking cheetoh??

well, yeah, actually. turns out Latinos are just as susceptible to bs Facebook posts as white boomers and when you do literally nothing at all to engage with them it gives room for the other guy to do so
