The only show I watch even remotely related to “eating things” is LA Beast

Food for Louis was actually good

LA Beast is a genuinely nice person irl and he has never used clickbait

Well, my issue with having other states form a Union with Texas is that not every conservative state shares the same values as Texas, and if there are enough of them can overpower Texas politically and dictate what Texas can or cant do, which is the current situation with the current Union of states we are in

What did I miss?

" that not every conservative state shares the same values as Texas" Agreed...but under the founding principles of this nation (the United States) states with vastly different values & policies are meant to exist as one nation. This is accomplished through federalism, where a central government handles foreign policy & protects basic rights, whereas the states get to have vastly different policies & values

It works well...the problem is we & the states abdicated too much power to the central government....all regulations are turning into "all or nothing" policies across all states

What Texan values do you think could be threatened by other conservative states?

If Texas & the other states had a federal system (as the US is meant to have), they'd get along great.

Moreover, Texas is turning less red by the day due to all the commie transplants from CA and the like 😬

Well one of the things that some other conservative states have is Warhawks, which is something against what Texas wants. We dont want constant fighting or war, we just want to be left alone

Also, Texas got a bit more red this year, with one border county going hard red and no new seats earned by the democrats anywhere in Texas legislature

So I haven't done a statistical study on this so I could be wrong here but the impression I get is that most of the warhawks are politicians; some evidence for this is Trump campaigned against needless war and is more popular (among Republicans) than most other Republican presidents in recent times.

Frankly what id like to see more than a Union between Texas and republican states is the 2 independant of each other that decide their own fates but have an econimic and military alliance between each other

Balkanization basically

Essentislly yes

I’d say the states would benefit greatly from being far more independent of one another

Not all of them naturally, there are some states that would starve on their own

But most

Yes there is no denying that

Basically a confederation then, I'm good with that

More “independent states in a Union” than one giant homogeneous state

Not saying a confederation, as a confederstion still implies a form of a Union, which is something i dont want nor what the Texit movement wants to see. What im talking about is Texas being an independant nation seperate entirely from the US and the Republican states nation but still shares econimic and military alliances between them

That can be viewed as a loose confederation but that's just semantics so idc what you want to call it, basically I don't have an issue with that idea, I think smaller nation states work better in general

The end result would essentially be no different how the relationship between the US and the UK is, we share a pool of resources and help protect each other while still being 2 seperste nations able to choose their own futures

So basically like an EU but for independent states

No

I said it can be viewed as a loose confederation because an economic/military alliance does imply some minimal central organization, and some dictionaries list "alliance" as a definition for confederation.

NATO is a better comparison

Yeaah

NATO is a far better comparison

As with the EU model, it still puts 1 person and by extention 1 nation/state above the rest, which leads to animosity between any that have a poor history or relation between each other

While with Nato, its essentially a coalition where even if Nato rules one way, other nations in it can still operate the way they want to

Its why France still uses the FAMAS and revolvers, while at the same time other nations use a standardized version of the M416

HMMMMMMMMMMM

Shhhhhhhh

Maybe thats why none have left the shelf

I mean, I get what you're trying to say here, but other nations in NATO have decided to use other guns (Like Germany's G36 and MG3, or England's L85, or Italy's AR70/90). NATO specified bullet calibers and essentially said "have at it" that's why its the 7.62x51 NATO round, or the 5.56x45 NATO. You'll notice that practically every nation is required to use the same round. Despite that, the US is still looking at and using whatever the heck they want, because they can.
