Wow, you sound just like Israel. Replace "Texas" with "Palestine" and it's a 1:1 aspect ratio.

No one is calling for a genocide, you are being hysterical to undermine my valid point

You literally said, and I quote:

Texas has an evil political culture spewing malice across this country for my entire adult life, it needs to shattered into pieces, and the land salted

Texas is the heart and soul of this evil empire, no decent person is safe as long as it exists

it needs to go because I will not live in fear

If that's not genocidal-scale rhetoric, and I'm just being hysterical, then fucking sue me for defamation.

Metaphorically salt the Earth

No walksie-backsies, you said what you said.

how do you not understand the consequences of using violence to advance Texas’s political agenda?

So you using violence to advance your political agenda would be any different at all?

But sure, this is about my lack of understanding... 🙄

“Fuel more fear and hatred” what precisely did Minnesota do to Texas to make them fear and hate us? This is the epitome of DARVO

Okay so now that you're resorting to strawman, we can confirm that you're not arguing in good faith. Because I never said nor even insinuated that Minnesota did anything to deserve what ICE brought to them.

I want safety for my family and all Minnesotans,

Killing everyone in Texas will not get you that.

Texas is too violent and ugly to behave peacefully.

Again, you're attempting to blame an entire state (one which just turned blue, I'll remind you) for the actions of the most corrupt and hateful people from among them.

Corrupt, hateful, and malicious people exist in every state. If you continue to blame entire states for the depravity of their lowest members, then the only logical conclusion for you would be to wipe out every state one by one until there's none left.

The line of reasoning you're following leads to a dead end, and puts you on the same moral footing as the people you hate so strongly. It can only perpetuate more cycles of hatred and violence; it can never resolve them.

The fact that you can't see that is just sad.

    I want my family and neighbors to be safe, it is not possible with Texas having any say over my life.

    That's a normal thing to want, and I'm sure Talarico will be fighting so that we can all enjoy that safety again, in every state.

    America broke for me in January and even this election did nothing to put any of the pieces back together.

    America broke for many of us, but it's time to start putting some pieces back together. The election didn't do it for us, but it gives us the opportunity to start. It will take some time, but if we don't start then we'll never finish either.

    You can either join us in putting the pieces back together, or reinforce the cycles of brokenness, or even sit on the sidelines and pretend to be morally absolved of any personal responsibility in the matter. That's your choice, I won't make it for you.
