And they eat it up and re-elect him for more.

No policies to make people's lives better, just blather.

Wanting to punish the people who did what he wanted, and are now trying to flee because things didn't go the way he wanted? It's certainly bizarre logic, to say the least.

Because assholes like him always are looking for ways to avoid realizing they're just common, weak, but really lucky human beings under all the elitist hype they surround themselves with.

I mean they're the ones who are anti-Muslim and yelling about communists and socialists.

Somebody mentioned that in another op, but didnt provide a link, so i thought it was one of those "i've heard some are saying they will leave" kinda things.

But I have read a few articles about people saying that.

https://nypost.com/2025/11/03/us-news/nearly-a-million-new-yorkers-ready-to-flee-nyc-if-mamdani-becomes-mayor-poll/ (Not the most reliable source, I know.)

(I had to throw this last one in because I found it humorous. Didn't he...?)

In late November 1992, Sliwa admitted that he and the Guardian Angels faked six early incidents for publicity. He admitted to having faked an injury while fighting rapists, the rescue of a mugging victim, and a false allegation that three off-duty transit police officers had kidnapped him. (source: Wikipedia)

The NY Post headline made me laugh. Imagine a million right wing New Yorkers (are there that many?) fleeing NYC for Texas.

Sounds like NYC might be paradise if that happened. And the thought of all those New Yorkers wandering around Texas! "You mean you have to drive to a grocery store?!"

His kind of subhumans are the ones who are screaming about leaving NYC in the first place.

So, go for it, Gregory. You will only hurt yourself by doing that.

Texas might even get another representative or two if MAGATS relocate there.

I don't get why this would be a problem for Abbott.

What is the value of a New Yorker in Texas? If it is less than zero (as Abbott has implied) would that mean Texas would pay you for importing them?

100% for their change of address forms? Wait that's free from the post office. maybe 100% on their new drivers license? NY DL costs twice what it is in TX so that would be no change for the transplants. Maybe if the New Yorkers ship themselves by FedEx.

leave NYC for AbBUTT's Texass? If they do, it's on them

And more than 4,800,000 Texans cast votes for Kamala Harris. Just something for you to consider, next time you want to consign the entirety of my native state to a piece of shit like "AbBUTT."

And yes, many of us did vote for Harris, but not enough.
There may be hope for texas, but right now, too many here are keeping it texass.

The stink in our state runs deep and broad.

of my state, but there's so much assholery there now with the guv, the AG, and even his ex-wife. Glad I moved away. I haven't been able to recommend moving there to anyone anymore.

I heard Corpus Christi has water problems again.

How soon can we get rid of him?

I'm sick of seeing and hearing about Gov. Hot Wheels---which, BTW, I was calling him LONG before Jasmine Crockett said it on national TV.

... it's a shame that tree wasn't bigger.

A lot of us think the tree just didn't finish the job!

Both are nuttier than a fruitcake. And that is being as polite as possible.

….would want to move to Texass?

Hey Abbott, your wheelchair has a flat.

But a thousand Abbott's working on a thousand typewriters for a thousand years, couldn't come up with this:
"He was so narrow minded he could see through a keyhole with both eyes."

She could finish what the tree started!

but what's he laughing about? How stupid Trump's kneejerk "put a tariff on it!" responses are? It works when a Democrat like Newsom parodies that, but a Republican who, as far as I know, has never attacked Trump?

to explain this statement. I mean it’s nonsensical, it’s weird and does not display minimal cognitive ability for a person his age. I am sure his health is bad.

This is what is motivating Abbott. Posted not for endorsement of the Reich Wing site or viewpoints. Posted to help people understand Reich Wing memes. Copied from a Reich Wing website, and I'm not going to the Reich Wing American (non)Thinker site to verify it.

And the pollsters extrapolated that to almost a million people?
Somehow, I don't think that many will leave.

1) You can only tariff possessions (slaves), not citizens.

2) Abbott thinks wives and children are possessions.

3) You'd think Abbott would welcome "patriots" fleeing the "communist", but he has shit for brains

The MAGA propaganda universe has become so all encompassing for those who subscribe to it, that they can rant in a kind of hateful shorthand now.

People who get their news and information via normal channels see and hear disconnected nonsense. But inside the MAGA universe, everyone knows exactly what Abbott is saying.

From “blue states” like California and New York

The only people leaving NYC for it are the type that move to Russia because Putin is so tough on the guys type . . . You know complete morons.

Texas was last great under Richard's, but that was ages ago. Basically a completely different state back then.

But this is the clown who thinks he can prevent women from traveling or mailed packages coming into TX.

but found that the time and expense to legally change his name to Nekkid Cowboy on the ballot was just not worth the effort.

I just can't picture New Yorkers fleeing to fucking texass.

I will now be imposing, a 106% tariff on all red state governors who act like fucking assholes

a temper tantrum over Mamdani's anticipated win tonight. They've coined the name Zohranista's for the man's supporters and are predicting the end of the world.

There's true irony there for those who can still perceive it.

Go to Texas to pay Abbott his due....

I guess Trump won't be going to Texas when it comes time for him to hide.

Any New Yorkers wishing to move to Texas will have to go before a linguistics board And prove they can speak with enough of a Texas drawl so as not to stand out.

Abbott has called it his "With Drawl" bill.

A conservative voter fleeing NY to Texas might be worth 0. Multiplied by 100% would still be 0. So they can pay $0 for the tariff.

MAGAts think they can tariff people

Liberal New Yorkers would likely stay for the socialism. It would be conservatives who want to escape before they are sent to Siberian gulags.

WTF is wrong with these idiots?
