There used to be a saying/admonition in Texas: Don’t Mess with Texas.
In retrospect, it didn’t seem to really mean much.
Just saying.
“Don’t Mess With Texas” was an anti-littering ad campaign, back in the ‘80s, IIRC. It caught on, or maybe it was used because it was already popular. I don’t remember. We can now use it once again to reference taking out the TRASH (liberals).
Those who are not Texan will never get it. Just sayin’.
