No TN huh?
East TN, north GA, Kentucky, western SC, North Carolina, West Virginia, parts of Virginia, southern Pennsylvania are forming the Appalachian republic when the split happens. We will have nuclear and coal/oil energy, tourism, alcohol, manufacturing, and enough farming to support ourselves.
We will be fine. It’s already been approved.

There is no solution. I used to think a radical revolution could work in the right hands, but our country is so full of looney tune pussies, they could not do what needs to be done. It will take all of the dire prediction of socialist take-over will come in time, the demographics demands it. Then when 90% of the US is so miserable in the lives they stupidly voted us into, there may be a radical makeover, but sorry, it will be violent, and last for a quarter century or more. All Most of us can do is slowly retreat from one terrible situation to one maybe less terrible, until we turn around and say going to war is better than sitting around living in misery. I am not advocating, just remarking on the characteristics of humans anywhere.

Texas has an independent power grid...
More facts and additional pros to TEXIT (using 2019 Census data, among other sources):

*Note: Due to the natural resources of the land, Texas has more farms and ranches than any other U.S. state and is responsible for producing 35% of the crude oil in the U.S. When Texas is an independent nation it will bank about $1.5 trillion per year, putting it between Australia and Spain in terms of large economies.
Texas produces more than $13 billion worth of wine each year. Texas is the nation's fifth-largest producer of wine, with more than 400 wineries generating over $13 billion annually. That number increases annually.
*Note: Texas is completely self-sufficient in beef, poultry, pork, grain, fruits, vegetables, seafood, beer, wine, and spirits.
Texas has more miles of roads and rail than any other state
*Note: In order to keep the massive volume of goods produced in and shipped out of Texas, the state has built up the largest transportation network in the U.S., with more than 313,200 miles of public roads. Texas also has 16 seaports and more than 380 airports.
- The fifth largest port in the U.S., the Port of Houston is: the busiest port in the U.S. in terms of foreign tonnage; the second-busiest in the U.S. in terms of overall tonnage; and the sixteenth-busiest in the world.
Texas oil production: 8.08 million barrels per day in 2019
After secession, Texas would have the 4th most barrels per day of crude oil production in the world.
*Notes: Texas refines over 85% of the gasoline in the U.S. Texas produces almost 40% of America's oil. In 2017, Texas accounted for a whopping 37% of America's crude oil production, according to the US Energy Information Administration. The state is also responsible for 24% of the nation's marketed natural gas production.
Texas is the largest producer of wind power in America
A genuine energy superstar, Texas not only produces more petroleum than any other state, but it also dwarfs other states in wind-power production. In 2017, Texas windmills produced 21,044 megawatts. Iowa, the second-largest producer, reached just 6,952 megawatts.
Most Texas exports go south to Mexico.
In 2015, Texas exported $11.5 billion worth of goods to China and $25.5 billion worth of product to Canada. That same year, it sent more than $92.4 billion worth of exports down to Mexico.
Texas accounts for 10% of total manufacturing in the U.S.
In 2017, Texas' manufacturing output topped $226 billion, meaning the state accounted for one-tenth of all manufacturing dollars generated in the U.S.. Manufacturing provided about 865,000 jobs in Texas that year.
Texas is home to nearly 1 million women-owned businesses.
It’s amongst the nation’s best for women-owned businesses.
*Note: The state ranks third overall in the number of women-owned businesses, with nearly 150% growth in female-owned establishments over the last two decades. About one-half of the overall workforce in Texas is female, slightly edging out the national average of 47%.
The Texas Medical Center (TMC) is the largest medical city in the world.
*Note: Home to the world’s largest children’s hospital & world’s largest cancer hospital. TMC delivers one baby every 20 minutes, resulting in approximately 26,280 births per calendar year. TMC begins one surgery every three minutes.
- Texas leads the U.S. in producing computer chips and communications equipment.
- Texas houses at least six [registered] guns for every man, woman, and child.
- In 2018 Texas opened the first state-backed bullion depository. The depository provides Texans with a place to store their precious metals and allowed Texas to repatriate its gold from New York.

I think it's time to join Texas
Just take Lake Charles, Lafayette, and everything up to the basin bridge, north to Alex, W. Monroe, and everything west except Shreveport. Let Baton Rouge, NOLA, and SPort kill themselves and then take over the ports.

People who say Texas can't make it as an independent are dumb.
Heck, people who say Louisiana couldn't make it as an independent are dumb.
