A very small number of people who can’t read think Texas can reestablish itself as a Republic.
It can’t.
The biggest danger to Texas is California ex-pats who will bring their liberalism disease with them (I am a California ex-pat but brought solid Conservatism with me).
I think if DFU leaves, he will be the last Conservative (and we expect you to turn out the lights on your way out).
FWIIW, I *really* miss the state of my birth and where I spent my first 1/2 century. But I could no longer put up with being vilified and punished for being productive.
Here in Texas they respect hard work.
” California ex-pats who will bring their liberalism disease with them”
The key phrase here. We are being flooded with losers.
My wife an in-laws are all native Californians that moved to Texas for the same reasons that motivated you to leave. They call themselves refugees. My in-laws are all from Marin county thought they eventually moved to L.A. They picked up their businesses and left. They miss their state too. I don’t blame them. It’s beautiful with tremendous resources. But it ‘lost’ and beyond the point-of-no-return. Texas is almost to that point. Demographics is destiny.
To your first point; Texas CAN split into a total of five states. Texas does NOT have the ‘right’ to secede. If secession were to happen, it would not happen smoothly and would be solved politically.
If it is to happen, it would have to happen very fast with it being driven by conservative movement. Soon, conservatives will be a minority here and any secession that happened further in the future would likely be very different reasons and driven by a different ideology than what American/Texas conservatives would support. Just my two cents.
