    Which is also why it’s OK, because it’s mostly Texans the cops kill.
    I do feel sorry for the immigrants though.
    Edit:
    Sorry this is bad taste, and I don’t really mean it. But for Fs sake, why do so many people support the insanity and inhumanity in states like Texas?

      Hey, some of us were born here and have no way of getting out. That’d be the vast majority of us that live in the metro areas.

        Maybe you are not a Texan in your heart?
        I don’t quite get why you can’t get out though. There is freedom of movement among all states of USA AFAIK.
        I understand if you want to stay close to friends and relatives, but surely the possibility exist to move to a less dystopian state.
        But as long as you are there, be sure to vote against the Republican insanity.

          It can be a pretty big financial undertaking to uproot your life and move to another state. Not everyone has the savings to do that without severe risk to their basic needs.

          Also it can be emotionally challenging to move away from your friends/family.

            Ding ding ding, we have a winner!

            Yeah, I’m broke. I had to wipe out what little savings I had just to move to another apartment down the street. There’s no way I could move elsewhere without the support of my family.

            OK, I’ve been at the bottom here in Denmark, and I’ve moved twice across the country during that period. But in Denmark we get help you probably don’t get in USA.
            I seriously hope things improve in USA, because it’s ridiculous that people have to struggle like they do in one of the worlds richest countries.

                Lmao right? Texas alone is 3 times as wide as Denmark. If you were to move from say Dallas to Los Angeles, you’d be moving about 1500 miles, or 6 Denmarks.

          Blue states need to setup refuge camps for people like you rather than have states fight over who can give billion dollar businesses the best tax break.

          Red states couldn’t outcompete and brain drain is a longer term strategy than corporate welfare.

        People can escape North Korea but you can’t get out of Texas?

          A person can escape out of North Korea, but not their family. People are tied to places for more than just their own lives being stuck there. It takes quite an incentive for most to move away from those they care for and who care for them.

            No, I think it’s incredibly difficult which is why I know people in Texas have it comparatively easy and can’t use the excuse of there being “no way of getting out”.

              Money, bruh, and not nearly enough of it. I have trouble paying rent, much less moving to another state.
