*2003: Texas House Democrats fled to Oklahoma and Texas State Senate Democrats fled to New Mexico, but neither boycott worked out well.

*2021: Texas House Democrats and some State Senate Democrats fled to Washington, DC: Boycott didn't end well for them either.

*2025: This boycott will backfire BIG TIME.

Yeah, it'll probably fail this time. But demographics will catch up with the Republicans sooner or later, and they can only spread themselves so thin without endangering their own inclumbents.

Depends on how fast we can deport the cockroaches.

Quoting for posterity, the next time you want to whine about us comparing you to Hitler (who referred to the Jews in the exact same language).

Oh he takes pride in being compared to Hitler. That's exactly who he looks up to.

Fine, I can repeat that.
