Practicality of doing this aside, I don't really understand the logic. Wouldn't the people fleeing Mandani's "regime" be on your side?You're right, but Republican politicians do seem to be enjoying making their own supporters suffer too.
I could be wrong but I really dont think there's a significant amount of New Yorkers that have any interest in living in Texas lolThe NYC > Houston pipeline is actually not uncommon.
He'll be taxing the angry conservatives who left in disgust over Mamdani winning the election.That's why calling Republicans clowns is an insult to clowns.
The NYC > Houston pipeline is actually not uncommon.Yeah. Also, it may not be as popular as it was 10 or 20 years ago but a lot of people still want to move to Austin.
Is that even legal?When has Abbott ever cared about whats legal?
Is that even legal?
No. You can't tax or fine someone for moving out of stateTBF legality hasn't exactly been a limiting factor for the right lately.

When has Abbott ever cared about whats legal?In this case I'm not even sure there's a mechanism for him to do it, how do you make all stores in your start arbitrarily charge specific people extra?
Why are all dese people afraid of one man?(Mamdani)Two reasons he's a Democratic socialist and he's a muslim.
What the fuck does that even meanNothing. Its somehow even more ignorant than the way Trump refers to tariffs.
On the real, can states impose tariffs on imports? I thought it was just on a national level.National level only. In fact, the stupidity of states doing tariffs against each other was one of the main reasons the US even has a Federal government.

A tariff is just a specific kind of tax and in a sense yes a state can pass tax laws that specifically target imports but like.... You're not importing anything from New York into Texas. It's the same country. There's not a way to tariff another state because it fundamentally makes no sense.Now hold on.
It's like saying you're revoking visas of US citizens from New York who are visiting Texas.
As someone who's not american I have to ask. How do you prove who is from New York, do american states keep a list of who moves from one state to another?They don't. This nonsense being completely unenforceable is just one of the countless ways it is a bad joke.

But Republicans are very fond of their bad jokes.
Republicans continue to not understand what a tariff is. More at 11!
