    And yes, Biden left thousands of Americans behind enemy lines to Taliban terrorist, then hid out at Camp David

    I guess you figured it out.

    when texas secedes, does that end the cycle, or do the hispanic texans demand their own state and perhaps east texas would want to join with part of louisiana?

    Texas is not going to secede. They talk big in Texas; it's what they do best.

    Ted Cruz is an attention whore and an idiot. Both descriptions are tied for first.

    Trump also left our people there, but to be fair to Trump and Biden, these people knew the US was leaving for over a year, they should have already left on their own

    they choose to stay, bad choice, we will work to get them out diplomatically, they missed the easy way, now they have to hope to get out the hard way

    that is not the fault of Trump or Biden

    How do you leave people behind when your evacuation date is in May of 2021?
    You don't.
    Trump wanted to bring them home December of 2020 and Milley talked him out of it stating we needed to leave them there. which he testified too.
    Biden decided to ignore the treaty set for May and hold out for Sept 9. He got caught with his pants down when the Taliban (In August) took over the city, ordered the evacuation in the middle of the night, which abandoned Americans behind enemy lines.

    Germany, France, the UK, and the Dutch sent over troops, went into the city, and recovered all of their people.
    Biden refused to send our forces into the city.
    Then Biden said we won't leave without them.
    Then the Taliban told Biden you will be out by the 31st of which Biden coward down and left.
    And nobody is negotiating for their release or it would be in the news every day.

    Which you think is impossible because you've bought into the trope that only Republicans have jobs. Which of course is nonsense. So when you base your conclusion on nonsense, does that make your conclusion itself nonsense too?

    Texit might help Texas but it would quickly solidify Democratic supermajorities in what remains of the US.

    Personally I think there's a need to create city states with independent policy from the rural areas of states. The divide these days is urban v rural, not blue state v red state.

    Austin is far more leftist than it is 50 miles east of Portland.

    I doubt that Austin would long remain that way once Texas becomes an Independent Republic...

    UT draws an enormous amount of people from left leaning areas. Every four years we get a whole new student population who are under the impression that communism works.

    Can I just point out that I asked what should be a simple question which is, where is this democratic ran Bastian of paradise and progress? All that was answered in response was Jan 6th.

    Lol.

    All your states are **** hole places to live, and the best counter so far is "jan 6th"? yikes.

    I'm sure most Blue states wouldn't object. Good riddance!

    Blue States moving towards a European type civilized society.

    Red States rushing backward to the Middle Ages, with leaders like Trump, Cruz, and their fellow mobsters; good luck to them!

    The fossil fuel industry receives over $5 trillion annually in subsidies, among other huge subsidies. If Texas "secedes" <snicker>, they'll come running back to Uncle Sam for help once starvation, riots, looting, and violence erupts statewide.

    Secession is one of those things Texan's love to proclaim they want...but on the inside they rest very comfortably knowing very well it'll never happen.

    Mexico doesn't want Texas. They want California. And they are taking it slowly but assuredly.

    Enjoy!

    How'bout Denmark? You'd probably call it communist; but if you tell them so, they'd laugh at you.

    America has become a cesspool of depravity, deviance, spite, and social dysfunction, on a scale that has never plagued any other Nation that has ever existed - all by design of democrats.

    EVERY democrat community in America is a dystopian toxic-human disaster that glorifies the worst of humanity.

    Texas will secede, eventually, and you will wish you had the honor of actually being a Texan, but we will not let you in.

    Mark my words.

    So far asking a pointed question, which blue state in the united states is a utopia. And so far the answers I've gotten are;

    - Jan 6th
    - Denmark

    I've been there many times and you could too. In fact, it would be good for you to see something else for a change and hopefully open your mind a little.
