What THE FUCK do they actually admire about Texas?
The ban on abortions?
The mass-shootings in schools, restaurants, supermarkets?
The fact it's much harder for employees to join a labor union ?
Prescription drug prices that are among the highest in the world?
The mandatory bible 10 commandments in public schools?
This crap is making me angry. Sorry I needed to rent.
It’s not just Albertans…it’s many, if not most, conservatives. My neighbour in Ontario idolizes Texas and even flies it’s flag. My sense is it’s just team sports…ideology…partisanship. These folks aren’t honest with themselves, and we can’t expect them to be honest with us.
This behaviour from conservatives obviously begs the question: Why don’t you just move to effing Texas, then? The short answer, as I see it, is because they love to troll and perform because they’ve been radicalized by their particular information bubble. They won’t admit that what they actually want is the best of both worlds: all the benefits of living in a liberal democracy with none of the repercussions or responsibilities of bigotry or stupidity (than they will never ever admit they display).
