THIS POST and immediately think "holy crap, the secessionists in Texas are going bonkers." But then you see that 200 people were there. As in 0.000008% of the population of Texas. As in way fewer than the tens of thousands of people who I assume read ThinkProgress every day. And while it's kinda fun to read about that stuff cause it's always fun to watch and make fun of idiots, you gotta wonder why it's even news that gets presented that seriously on such a large platform. Interesting.
