If they did the population would quadruple overnight.
Not sure where I come down on this, but we definitely have the natural resources, population, diverse economy to be able to survive independently. I don’t believe any other state is in a better position for this.
Secede! Secede! |
Would it drift Anglo, or Latin American? You could have a banana republic on your hands if the latter. There’s already a continent and a half of Latin America for your examination.
Yes! We just need to boot out a few hipsters, Kalifornia transplants and Yankee snowbirds first. FReepers are welcome!!
Aint gonna happen!
The FEDZILLA would never allow it!
President Trump would put his foot down and Constitutionalist CRUZ (as his VP) would swallow his TEXAS Pride, and go along, this time.
Legally, can a state secede from the union? Legally there are provisions for admitting new states to the union, but is there any legal peaceful process for states to leave the union? Isn’t that part of the reason we fought a civil war to.prevent states from seceding?
They should wait until we know if Trump becomes CIC.
If he does, no need, at least for the time being. If a RINO/Dem wins, then 75,000 signatures should be no problem at all.
Once TX takes the plunge, my prediction at least a half dozen states will follow suit. Then things start to get interesting.

We will help to save America. Not by leaving it, but by leading it.
Ping.
If it did, I would fly back tomorrow.
I would pack the boots, my guns, lotsa ammo, my beautiful borzoi and be on the road already south to the Red River.
The gold is too heavy. I’d FedEx that.
If Texas seceded, within one month there would be 500k to one million rifleman from the other 49 states ready to fight for liberty.
The federal government would not kill millions to stop them.
That question has been in my mind or a variation of it for a few months for the debate.
It’s an excellent question and really would TEST the candidates.
I’ve been for a PEACEFUL secession movement or split in the USA for some years as I think it would lead to much happier countries. California could secede too and go their own way and I think they would like that too.
Both Texas and California have large economies bigger than most countries.
They’d get some objections from the fags and dikes and communists in Austin. What about the welfare deadbeats in Houston and Ft Worth/Dallas?
Voted most likely in a class of 50 to secede.
Texas - What America used to be
Do it.
