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.
They’re now using that word to mean… What exactly?
Prove the ignorance of Texas Republicans?
About 6 months ago I started tariffing things and people just in every day speech. Kid won’t eat his vegetables? Tariff. 5%. Keep it up, see how it goes, buddy. Water cooler empty at work? That’s a 10% tariff MINIMUM.
It sucks when your crafted absurdity has such a short shelf life because reality seems intent on anexing it.
Don’t you fucking coup me! I’ll coup you!
“We’ll coup anyone we want. Deal with it.”
Some LDE billionaire
Shit’s woke, yo! Put a tariff on it!
