Edit: Just to clarify, my stance here is not “ignore everything Trump.” He has done and will do quite a lot of things that warrant attention and concern. He’s also a serial liar and world class bullshitter. A human testament to the phrase, “actions speak louder than words.” Donald Trump’s political success has always hinged on the fact that people are quick to forget that. He’s already working overtime to distract from the fact that the majority of his campaign promises were just lies and the sooner he can make the people who voted for him forget all the pie in the sky shit they were promised, the better.

    Fucking yes, stop making “were going to name it gulf of America”, “make Canada the 51st state”, “Texas is going to succeed from the US” big news.

    These are either distractions, attempts to control new cycles, political tools, or attempts to energize voter bases.

    TX succeeding is one of the oldest. Texas succeeding would all but nearly ensure the US never sees the US electing another Republican president or significant political majority. It’s be political suicide. They’d lose dozens of electoral college votes, Congress people and more.
