The state’s most powerful figure, Tim Dunn, isn’t an elected official. But behind the scenes, the West Texas oilman and lay preacher is lavishly financing what he regards as a holy war against public education, renewable energy, and non-Christians.

    I say we let him. Would be a great example to warn off others from fantasizing about same. I quess the downside would be a “holy” war on the borders of the us in about a decade.

      I’d rather not get murdered for being a Jew married to a Hindu in Texas, but wish big, buddy!

            California and the rest of the coastal cities are what most would consider as “developed.” Texas is devolving. They’re making their America like Yemen, and likewise they want brown poors to live on the otherside of the wall where they can’t see them, but also want to benefit from exploitation of their labor.

            I dated an Indian woman for a couple months. One time we had to do a 10 hour car drive, I wanted to put on a history podcast so she says we gotta listen to something related to India. So we find the History of Ancient India Podcast. Joke was on her though, I fell in love with the podcast and listened to 10 hours of ancient Indian history which she got sick of pretty fast. Been wanting to visit India ever since. Anyways, here is the podcast, I recommend it:

      They may very well unironically go for it. I doubt 0.5% of them would get the reference.
