One wierd trick to get voters to think you are capable of governing: declare sucession Liberals Hate It Like seriously who are these loving clowns trying to convince? Your base is already servile and bloodthirsty, they don't loving care. You are going to start a war over brown people entering the country? You really think moderate voters are going to go "yeah that's the vision I am looking for!" What loving delusional blowhard tools

They don't actually give a gently caress, with the exception of the lunatic white genocide idiots It's an easy issue they can look tough to their demented base on, and be racist and cruel as a bonus Trump clearly doesn't actually give a poo poo about the border or a deal, he just wants to cause as much chaos as possible, and the GOP is so cowardly and servile they just go "yes SIR, THANK YOU SIR" with tears in their eyes like the loving weak idiots they are TulliusCicero fucked around with this message at 07:42 on Jan 25, 2024 |

I'd go into a pub 2v2 and go build on my ally's gas as soon as I could. They'd complain but I'd ensure them I had a great build but I needed their gas. I'd build like 20 drones to long range mine it.

So yeah guess the United States are Balkanizing. Welp we got a constitutional crisis over the supremacy clause and the enumerated powers. I have no idea how you fix this short of arresting Abbott. Biden will probably be too big of a coward to do it because of the election. Like the best he can do is just constantly cut the wire as soon as it’s put down and arrest any Texas state guard that impedes them. Otherwise he is ceding federal power can’t wait for civil war 2.

Yeah, Abbott isn’t actually gonna defy anything. Nobody is seceding or going to war or starting poo poo with Mexico. He’s just gonna put out a bunch of official statements about how he’s gonna stand up to feds, because this is all just a chance for him to remind Trump he exists and would be very happy to be selected as VP candidate. (While also staving off potential challenges from the right, which are the only challenges that could cause problems for him when he’s up for election again in 2026.)

TulliusCicero posted:One wierd trick to get voters to think you are capable of governing: declare sucession This isn't about pleasing the base (although that's a nice side effect) or actually doing anything about immigration. The point is to make Biden look bad. Most moderate voters aren't paying attention to the border and don't give a flying gently caress about it, and most non-Fox news outlets don't care either. But federalizing the National Guard to overrule the efforts of a state to defend themselves ? That will be an immediate national news story and you can loving bet that Abbott and the GOP will go on every channel imaginable to ensure that that's the message that moderate voters receive. It's easy to understand, it makes Texas and the GOP look like the righteous underdog fighting against the evil dictator, and the Biden's administration's defense is some legal bullshit involving SCOTUS that 75% of Americans stopped listening to before I finished this sentence. Biden responding loudly and forcefully is what Abbott wants. Biden should absolutely smack this poo poo down, but he should do it quietly. Abbott and company want attention, and the smart move here is to not give it to them.

TheOneAndOnlyT posted:The point of this stunt is to draw Biden into a very public confrontation and then flood the airwaves with messages about how the tyrannical federal government is keeping the plucky li'l states from doing their jobs of protecting the border. I don't think this works though Moderate voters have shown they are completely exhausted of Trump and the GOP's dipshit antics and will vote against them in large numbers. This just once again shows them how idiotic the GOP is and how they can't be trusted with loving anything. What Trump and the GOP still haven't realized is that besides their braying pig gently caress base Americans hate loving hearing about politics, and Trump has kept this everyday poo poo parade going since 2016. Voters at this point just want the dumb motherfuckers to shut the gently caress up and gently caress off already. TulliusCicero fucked around with this message at 09:18 on Jan 25, 2024 |

This certainly seems worst then usual. He's a massive loving idiot, OP, and I wouldn't let it get to you. Some guy like Abbott being in a seat doesn't necessarily mean he's smart, or good at things, and statistically/ontologically, it's just better if you make fun of him until he cries and fucks off, because all he has to show is that he didn't deserve his power.

This certainly seems worst then usual. Nah, the statements from those folks is actually part of Abbott's whole thing, too. Really, the sick genius about all his recent stunts is that he sets up a situations where he and various dems get to pretend they are fighting when they are actually just shadow-boxing in each other's direction. Take the whole migrant bussing thing. One of the reasons it works so well is that Eric Adams took the bait and made a big deal out of the whole thing. (When, in truth, plenty of the migrants were probably going to travel to places like NYC anyways; either for the opportunities or because they already had people they knew there. Hell, unlike when Desantis did his dumb version of it, Abbott was only bussing immigrants who specifically wanted to get the free ride.) But the bait was irresistible: Adams got to sit in his D+40 city and score points off of that mean and inhumane Texas Governor, and Abbott got to sit in his R+10 state and say that the Democrats are hypocrites about immigration. Similarly, every single one of those members of congress from Texas who are calling for federalizing the guard are sitting in the democrat-heavy districts that were created through gerrymandering. Greg Casar's district (where I live) is D+21, so when he talks poo poo about Abbott it plays extremely well for him over here. So Abbott is gonna release mean statements about how he is totally gonna defy Biden any day now and Greg Casar gets to tweet about how Biden should totally use the full force of the federal government to stop Abbott from defying them and they both get to score points while the border patrol quietly takes down those horrific barriers and there is no actual defiance to be seen. (But Abbott's base see that those democrats sure are angry and even that they are calling for Biden to take over the Texas National Guard he hasn't done it so Abbott must be winning somehow!)
