Texas, you're gonna upset Joe Rogan!

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 26 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Joe Rogan is a piece of shit. He became a multi millionaire in California because of the infrastructure and people of California. Then instead of staying and playing taxes to give a bit back to the community, he took his money and ran to Texas.

A classic fuck you I got mine.

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 31 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

That is not why he is a piece of shit.

He is a piece of shit because he is a fascist propagandist. Who cares if he moved money? He enables fascists.

This is why you guys are where you are right now. You have accepted fascism like it's normal.

AMERICANS HAVE NORMALIZED FASCISM BECAUSE OF JOE ROGAN.

Why? Nothing is gonna change for him. Little americans when you upset their favourite rich people is when it's getting dangerous

Tim Walz is the governor of Minnesota. (Wikipedia)

That's Tim Horton.

We had a local place near me selling red "make weed gas again" hats. I've been in one time since and it has been completely dead during normally heavy traffic times.

Like these idiots don't know or even cared what they voted for other than "I'm a dude, I can't vote for a woman"

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 25 points 10 hours ago (4 children)

make weed gas again

I can't figure out what this means

[–] llama@lemmy.zip 6 points 4 hours ago

It means all the stuff they can buy under the farm bill isn't very strong and they want the real stuff

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 9 points 9 hours ago

"High grade"

[–] ChairmanMeow@programming.dev 2 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

I assume it means smoking the weed (turning it into gas).

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 hours ago

Gas is a slang way to say it’s potent / strong.

Potent / strong (and especially fresh and not properly cured) weed can smell almost like Dow made it in a chemical plant in Jersey.

Diesel is a common descriptor for genetics

If they're into biodiesel it could be turning hemp into fuel.

No way would I encourage anyone from that shitty state to move to my state. Stay there and deal with the mess you made.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 22 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

A lot of people don't realize how rigged Texas is, or how recent it's redness is.

The Governor prior to Bush was a Democratic woman. Bush got elected off his name, then got the Presidency. In the Republican bump from that the Republicans got a majority in the Texas legislature for the first time since Reconstruction in 2003, which they used to massively gerrymander the state.

Prior to 2004, the majority of Texas reps.to Congress had never been Republican. Following the 2003 redistricting, it was over 2:1 Republican. They've locked down voting districts and attacked voting rights ever since to maintain their majority, while courting out-of-state conservatives to move to Texas and driving progressives away.

The reality is the Republicans got full control of the state government in a single legitimate election in 2002 and have spent the last 2 decades rigging the system to ensure they never lose that power.

The blue print for what's come after across the country.

[–] ThunderWhiskers@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

I have been doing everything reasonably possible to prevent and unfuck my local situation in Texas, but the state as a whole is absolutely screwed. I would argue that a very large minority is aggressively uninformed politically, and has no desire to educate themselves. They want to be sucked into the gravity well of their bigotry and hate and Christian window-dressing. It's disgusting and depressing and you would not believe the amount of people that I respected before all of this mess that I want nothing to do with anymore because of the ideologies they are willing to espouse. I barely interact with any of my family any more because most of them wanted this situation and still won't openly admit that they did this.

I feel completely powerless and like my only option is to run as far away from the place I have called home for my entire life.

[–] Phegan@lemmy.world 10 points 4 hours ago

You know that not everyone in Texas voted for this shit, right? Many people voted against it, and many can't vote because they were underage at the time, undocumented or disenfranchised.

So kindly, take your bad take and get fucked.

[–] RandomMouse@slrpnk.net 19 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

The people of Texas are gerrymandered to oblivion and this is well documented. They didn't vote for this. Billionaires came to Tx and bought the politicians, maga spread through and removed the old style Rs.

Not that I think anyone should try to run from these problems. They should be faced head on. But, it's important to not blame the wrong people.

it's not about the weed, it's about making more excuses to detain/arrest/murder brown people

[–] Zink@programming.dev 7 points 10 hours ago

True, but they DO still like denying fun to themselves and their same-race underlings as well.

As a Canadian, I can't believe how sad the US has become, and they're regressing in freefall mode.
