There would have been t-shirts
EVERYTHING'S BIGGER IN TEXAS
INCLUDING SUPERCOLLIDERS

Would we have never heard the end of republicans bitching and whining about the cost and "our taxpayer dollars" and all that idiocy?

Who knows, considering Texan lawmakers carry an outsized weight in the republican party, and this project meant thousands upon thousands of skilled, high-paying jobs, including creating large new communities populated by scientists from all over the world.

Then after beating CERN to the punch to first detect the Higgs Boson, they would have draped themselves in the flag while chanting USA, USA, USA...

But ignorance and myopia are the horses pulling the republican cart.
