I honestly think we should not give voice to these people. It just adds legitimacy to their wacko delusions.

I wonder what the strategy of this rhetoric and defiance is. I don't think it's just about immigration. I imagine they are trying to get favorable precedents set by the right-wing courts. I could also see, in the not too distant future, blue states defying a Republican-controlled federal government on things like a national abortion ban and anti-lgbt laws, so ideas and precedents normalized here could be applicable there.
Yeah this is remarkably short sighted of red states. They want to ignore the supreme court? When the majority of Americans are furious about their decisions?
Don't threaten us with a good time.
Please insane Texans, do that, I already grabbed my popcorn and I can't wait to laugh at you
Hope you guys can sort all this out by Oscar Night.
Maybe Biden should call their bluff, execute his powers as Commander in Chief, and order the National Guard in Texas to turn on State Police.
These people are dying for an excuse, don't give it to them.
they're a bunch of fatass cowards who need to be shown how cowardly they are.. backing off only encourages them..
