Ted Cruz Fantasizes About Texas Seceding And Making Joe Rogan President

Ted Cruz never misses an opportunity to pander, and he took full advantage at a recent talk at Texas A&M University. He was asked about the possibility of Texas seceding, and while he said he didn't support it yet, he was willing to take all of the state's assets and secede if things keep getting worse. He then suggested that they could even make podcast host Joe Rogan the president of the new Texas country, a clear sign that Cruz wants to win over the Rogan vote.

During a recent talk to students at Texas a and M university Republican Senator, Ted Cruz admitted that he's not quite there yet on the issue of Texas secession from the United States, but he says he might get there. If Democrats, you know, keep doing what they're doing, uh, which really isn't actually things they're even doing. So here's what Ted Cruz said. He said, look, if the Democrats in the filibuster, if they pack the Supreme court, if they make DC a state, if they federalize elections and massively expand voter fraud, it may become hopeless. We're not there yet for virtual. What does that mean? Massively expand voter fraud. Like they're going to pass legislation like, okay, let's expand voter fraud first and foremost, dude, you know, as well as everybody else does that voter fraud is a myth being pushed by your guy, Donald Trump. And of course, other members of your party, your own audits have already proven that.

Okay. The few instances that we have nearly every single one of them is actually coming from Republicans. Y'all are the party of voter fraud. You really are. I mean, hell, we saw it last week with, uh, Glenn. Yuncken the GOP governor elect of Virginia. His son got popped twice trying to illegally vote at age 17. So don't even come at us with this crap of Democrats are the party of voter fraud as for ending the filibuster. Good. I hope they do packing the Supreme court. Hell yeah. I'm all for that along with expanding it as well. And you're going to sit there and tell me that if they do that you would actually consider having Texas secede from the United States. And that's probably not even the stupidest thing. He said. He goes on to say something even dumber, but I will say to his credit to Ted understands who he's trying to pander to.

And that's why he kept saying like, I'm not there yet. I love America. I'm not ready to give up on America. You were ready to give up on Texas earlier this year, when you flew to Mexico to escape the winter storms that killed a bunch of people in your state. So you, you have proven that you give up, you give up pretty easily. All it takes a little cold front and you're out of there. But then he said something truly, truly stupid. Cause I guess he was asked about Joe Rogan, who is based out of Texas now. And uh, he said, Joe Rogan, he might be president of Texas.

Yeah. Can we not? Can we stop putting reality show hosts up on pedestals here in the United States folks? I mean, it truly blows my mind that the former host of fear factor former host of the man show is somehow one of the most influential people in the United States. How in the hell did we let ourselves become? So dumbed down that we now have, you know, media, we have sports figures taking medical advice from the fear factor guy, instead of actual doctors, Aaron Rogers from the green bay Packers, obviously the most recent person who said, yeah, I didn't get vaccinated and said, I took Joe Rogan's advice. This is dangerous. And of course, Ted Cruz never misses an opportunity to pander. And that's exactly what he was doing. Joe Rogan is insanely popular throughout the United States, but especially, you know, with college dude bros, I don't need the news.

I got Joe Rogan. Oh, right on. He says the things that I already think, and it's just kind of self validation, why listen to it. Yeah. Whatever. And Ted Cruz understood that because Ted Cruz is not an idiot. He may do stupid things sometimes. But most of the stupid things, Ted Cruz does are actually very calculated. He pandered to that group of people. Pandered by saying, oh, maybe Joe Rogan becomes president hot. Now you like me even more. And they fall for it. They fall for it every dang time because we just lack critical thinking in the United States today. Apparently Texas is not going to secede from the United States. And even though, you know, as Ted Cruz also pointed out, but if we have to, we're going to take NASA in the military and all the oil with us. Cool. That sounds like a really fun, heavily polluted, uh, country. You're going to have there of Texas succeeds, but it's not ever going to happen.
