re: I’ve been intentionally ignoring current affairs - explain this Texas thing to me

This Texas thing, as you call it, is how civil wars start. This is very bad. Militias are starting to head to Texas now to support the guard. Militias are the most dangerous of all because you don’t know who these people are. Some keyboard loser with an AR-15 and body armor could just start shooting and start something terrible.

This president is an idiot.

Proof?

Haven't seen anything outside of a handful of Govs actually commiting to send their NG down to support Texas (OK and ND).

I don’t know that militias are actually heading there, but this is exactly what Biden wants. It would provide him coverage to crack down on MAGA.

This is the politard Scoop.

We know a lot more about who they are as opposed to the millions of illegals who are being let in.

The vast majority of his voters would be just fine with sending federal troops in to start mowing down Texans.

They say they want it but when Texans start killing their sons they will want it to stop.

This isn’t a war over states rights. This would be a war over the federal government not upholding the constitution.

What the hell is going on? Texas put up razor wire to protect the border. The majority conservative SCOTUS ruled it had to be removed because Biden’s argument that it prevented border agents from doing their job was apparently a valid one. Last I saw, Texas still hasn’t removed it. What’s happening now?

Here's a very general synopsis:

Under Mayorkas the Border Patrol has had their hands tied to the point of basically just being a rubber stamp for allowing illegals in. In order to combat this, Arizona put up a container wall to which the DoJ threatened to sue over. Then-Governor Ducey was on his way out of office so he bent over to the DoJ and allowed dismantling to start.

Trying their own hand at doing what Mayorkas refused to do, Texas put up razor wire bouys along the Rio Grande. Feds began taking this down so Texas and the DoJ went to court. A judge said the feds could do it, an appeals court told Texas to remove the wire.

Texas said "frick you" and pushed the issue to SCOTUS who basically said the feds can cut the wire (5-4 decision with Roberts and ACB siding with the feds).

Texas responded by taking over Shelby Park (47-ish acre city park on the Rio Grande at Eagle Pass, TX), which has been a focal point for many illegal crossings. They blocked the feds from coming in. The feds have demanded they cease (implying that they will take it by force). The response from Texas?



Texas has essentially told Biden, Mayorkis and the DoJ to FAFO. Governors from 25 other states have pledged openly to support Texas, should the need arise.

Texas Governor Abbott stated yesterday that Texas will not only keep the feds from cutting the wire at Shelby Park, but they will be extending that razor wire wall. SD Governor Noem has said she'll supply Texas with razor wire.

And that's where we are now.

I don't think voter apathy is the issue.

The President would have to federalize troops from the states in order to truly make a stand against the TNG. Just over half of the states have pledged to support Texas. Having federal troops start mowing down Texans would very likely kick off a new civil war (if those pledged states stayed true to their pledges).

This issue with illegals is so incredibly unpopular across the nation that if such a war kicked off, those voters still siding with Biden over this may well be killed over their support as society broke down along ideological borders. Some place like Seattle might be fine, but some place like Chicago or NYC (where so many illegals have been forced in that it's creating government and societal strife) would likely become even more violent.

It's all Donald Trump's fault - There is just no other way to put it
