So, Texas leaves... What happens to the American Cowboy Mythology?

I know, other states have cowboys, but would the remaining 49 states quickly reimagine the idea of the 'cowboy' as a villainous entity in media? Nazis in Stetsons. Texzis?

I live in Texas and I just took a poo poo that was about 16 inches long and 5 inches in diameter... One solid piece, no breakage. Everything truly is bigger in Texas.

The modern conception of cowboys was literally invented by Marlboro as a marketing campaign for cigarettes.

Well, of course I know him.

This is easy. Texas out, Mexico in, and now you have vaqueros, the original cowboys.

You follow the path
fitting into an infinite pattern.

Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.

Now, in the quantum moment
before the closure
when all become one.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

Don't Mess With Texas was an anti littering campaign.

That state is the undisputed champions of taking poo poo too serious.

Littering should be punishable by lethal injection.

Woof!

Considering how Texas became a state in the first place, it will be really funny if they try to vote for independence from the US but it's defeated because of the Hispanic vote.

I got some bad news for you, most latinos in Texas are FYGM as gently caress and will flip Republican as soon as immigration is settled. Hell, more than half voted Republican in the last governors race.

I alone can see through the media bias.

I'm also stupid on a scale that can only be measured in Reddits.

No. If you get caught littering you are simply shot to death on the spot.

The more you know.
