Texas Governor Greg Abbott has said he would “impose a 100 percent tariff” on New Yorkers moving to Texas.
“After the polls close tomorrow night, I will impose a 100% tariff on anyone moving to Texas from NYC,” the Republican wrote on X on Monday night.
Abbott’s post came on the eve of New York City’s mayoral election, in which Democrat Zohran Mamdani is the frontrunner. He is facing former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo—who is running as an independent after Mamdani emerged victorious in the Democratic primary in June—and Republican Curtis Sliwa.
This is epic nonsense bullshit and was shared because it is so fucking ridiculous it made me spit out my coffee.
Yeah, i feel that. I think that in this attention economy it’s important to focus on the real.
I don’t fully understand why the fascists want us all focusing on BS, but we shouldn’t be giving them what they want.
