<p>@Antarius: “When the governor of Texas believes that his state can secede from the United States, it is very challenging to take Texas seriously.”</p>
<p>If the average non-Texas resident were to assume that, due to the idiocy and hypocrisy of our governor, all Texans are not to be taken seriously, I believe it’d be hard to take their opinion into account. (I didn’t mean that as a passive-aggressive remark toward you, it was geared toward people in general.)</p>
