Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Trump's tariffs on Mexico would be devastating for Texas, leading to a loss of 370,000 jobs.

I guess that’ll be the “find out” phase for the Texas electorate

Including all of those who voted like you wanted. They deserved it for being outnumbered, after all.

Rejoicing in suffering like this is ghoulish.

And that sucks for everyone who explicitly voted against this nonsense, but the simple fact of the matter is that many, many people didn't care enough vote at all. Finding some schadenfreude in the latter's upcoming woes, quite honestly, is a coping mechanism that ultimately causes no additional harm.

Fuck do you want us to do about em. Get out while you can or fight like your life depends on it, because it kinda does

Fuck do you want us to do about em.

Democrats had four years, which they squandered. Now they're gloating at people who were outnumbered.

Red states will just be exempt

those 370,000 can fill some of the agriculture, construction and other jobs that will open up when the state's ~ 1.5m 'undocumented migrants' (and i'm sure more than a fair number of documented, legal residents, too) are kicked out.
