Cripes…No Democrats, it’s not fighting Texas, it’s fighting against every damn red state.
Speak to shit realistically for the love of democracy.

I hate it that it’s come to this level of lunacy
Come back to this level of lunacy.
The US has been here before.
Actually, a few times:
After the seven years war, leading up to the US revolution, things were very heated. Mostly from: 2a. Rich colonials defrauding British banks via loan fraud. 2b. Rich people then using said funds to buy up the available land, driving prices out of reqch of the regular colonials. 2c. Rich colonials got really pissy that the stamp act was going to prevent them from executing loan fraud. 2d. Rich colonialists astroturfing imaginary support for motiona and even faking riots to make it look like they had popular support. (Note that this was so faked that English speaking Canada became a thing out of this.) 3. The only land they would give to the poor people was in the strictly off limits Ohio Valley as that land was seen as native land in tha ks for them winning the war in North America for England. Neither the natives or the crown soldiers stood for this, but it was paid for by the rich colonials en mass, so was functionally unstoppable.
About 50 to 100 years later: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mason–Dixon_line the Mason-Dixie line became a thing and the two sides fought to gerrymander support for slavery/freedom. Which ended causing the US civil war.
I mean… It definitely has not but ok

History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes.
Men rarely change in any meaningful way, through the patterns of human actions we recreate scenarios over and over again.
Im glad their fighting but it’s no surprise what they finally chose to fight for is to further entrench their own power. If they continue to simply pass all the fascist apointments and vote for cloture so no one in their own party can even filibuster it’s not gonna matter how many dems there are and republicans will once again get their way from the minority as they have done before.
