Could Trump do anything to make you stop supporting him?

Your are right. This whole subject needs it's own thread.

But getting back to the water supply -- when you look at a map of Texas, it is full of rivers all over the state. But assuming those rivers cannot provide sufficient irrigation, Texas sits on the Gulf of Mexico. So what's to stop Texas from desalinating tons and tons of water and piping it all over the state? This would be a major project and a part of the infrastructure paid for by tax dollars. But if Israel can successfully desalinate and use sea water, so can anyone else. Texans need to think "outside the box".

Israel now gets 55 percent of its domestic water from desalination, and that has helped to turn one of the world’s driest countries into the unlikeliest of water giants.

Wowser. Looks like some animals are more equal than others.....

(You meant "renouncing" but that is OK. Typos happen).

What you should also recognize is that if any state became a conservative independent nation, it would hopefully leave all the federal baggage and waste behind. If Texas went with a strictly conservative government (and actually banned Communism), it would do the following:
1. Reduce the income tax to a flat tax of 10% of gross income (personal or corporate) and keep tax filing simply. Just one page showing gross income and 10% tax.
2. Totally eliminate tax deductions and tax credits.
3. Maintain strictly balanced budgets, with no deficit spending, and no government borrowing.
4. Make a commitment to use tax funds strictly for essential government services and infrastructure. No pork, no subsidies, no wasteful expenditures.
5, Reduce government agencies, politicians, and bureaucracy to an absolute minimum, and focus on law enforcement.
6. Make free enterprise the bedrock of the economy, and not interfere with the private sector.
7. Leave retirement planning to the private sector.
8. Block all imports from China, or impose very heavy tariffs.
9. Encourage the manufacturing of all goods and products within Texas itself.
10. Make doing business with Mexico contingent upon no border violations, no drugs, no trafficking.
11. Eliminate the welfare state, the nanny state, homelessness, etc. Make able-bodied people work for a living.
12. Go back to the gold standard instead of fiat currency.

These are all common sense measures which all governments avoid. But if people pay less in taxes and retain more of their income (while well paying jobs are in abundant supply, and unemployment is minimal), they can actually put aside huge savings for retirement, or any other purpose.

The fact that Trump has supporters like this says enough. View attachment 261318

You mean a supporter/member of Congress who actually cares about the "state of the union" that is a problem in your book?

In a Rasmussen poll: Over 50% of Democrats said they would support a decertification of the election if Trump wins.

The question was not "if Trump steals the election" it was "If Trump wins the election". This is who you are dealing with when talking to about half of Democrats: thieves, liars and crooks.
