I'm actually quite curious to see how the whole conservative anti migrant/don't mess with Texas/protect our border/secede/states rights/fuck the feds/bravado attitude changes over time as the state becomes increasingly uninhabitable:
Will their propensity for being difficult people force them to continue defending the wasteland from Mexicans, or will they be too busy trying to displace other Americans in more habitable states?
Probably just screaming into the void about “freedom” and “owning the libs” as they either freeze, burn, or drown while voting yet again to restrict the rights of women/LGBTQ/POC.
My best guess is defending the wastelands.
