We forgot the Alamo even though they told us not to.

I didn’t so much forget it as I did assume Texans were just playing the martyr for getting their collective asses kicked in. Again.

You know… Like Dallas Cowboys fans?

San Jacincto was a different battle wherein Mexico got their collective ass kicked in there. The Alamo was a rallying cry.

Alamo itself was a rout for the Texians [sic]. There’s no side-stepping that. It goes as it goes.

The Alamo is worth being forgot about. It’s always told as a feel good story but it’s actually just kinda fucked up. Pretty on par for American history

Remember that’s the first time Texas fought for slavery.

Nah. The moment you even think of the game you’ve lost it, the only way to win is to die and hope there’s no afterlife so you don’t have to think about it.

I’ve started ignoring random posts about it.

Its the equivalent of telling your little sibling about it and having to listen to them shout “I lost the game” for next 5 months. It gets old quick.

Now if I think about this post and comment later on my own, then sure I’ll have lost the game.
