Right. This is just stuff that anti American morons that are obsessed with Texas talk about. No one serious is considering this.

They will justify it by saying the Civil War resolved this question. You can’t secede. They won’t have to attack. You seem to be under the idea there will be a war. What there will be is the leaders being arrested and imprisoned.

They just think they are.

Just wait until
Sharon Wesson BROOME sues them for this racism.

You can’t win the SEC or keep electricity running when it’s cold. Texas is no where close to being ready for independence.

Men from the south aren’t coming to save you this time.

I used to think this was stupid. Now I don’t. Hell I think of myself more as a Texan instead of American because America is headed down the shitter so fast. Texas at least tries to preserve those great American ideals that are seemingly disappearing around the country.

I think I’m a Yes

Would be interesting to see how long Texas could last with all roads and air travel blocked off to the U.S.


No problem. The US will give Texas more in foreign aid than it currently receives as a US state. Companies will start opening all their manufacturing in Texas due it foreign laws and transportation proximity. Texas will be the primary oil and energy exporter to the US. Massive freight forwarding terminals will be built at both ends of I10 and I20 as well as I30 and I35.

IMO there can be no compromise on the excrement these people are attempting to push on us. Among the most despicable - bug burgers instead of beef, gender transition surgery for children.

I see no other option - we need a national divorce.

....and so it begins.

What part of the economy is made up of federal stuff, courts, highways, federal buildings, military, social security offices, VA hospitals and nursing homes, etc., etc? How do you unravel? Curious! Don't forget airports, FAA and TSA.


In Texas? Certainly it is significant but it's not critical like many others. Texas has massive advantages over everyone else in terms of geography. Take away the Feds regulating everything to death? Oof. Texas will blow away Saudi Arabia in a few years. We not only have a ridiculous amount of O&G we have the infrastructure and capacity to own the world from a refining perspective. We also have the Port of Houston and Corpus just as a start. We have a Pipeline system that is in place to move the Oil from the massive fields all over the state. We also have the 2 best Petroleum Engineering Schools in the World.

Texas is also dominant in a broad variety of industries and has highly productive agricultural land as well.

That's just to start. The US actually needs Texas much more than the other way around.

Any separation would almost certainly be very peaceful, complicated but peaceful. A mutual defense agreement would be right at the top of that. It's in the interest of all of us to do so. Texas is an incredibly strategic position in terms of access to Central America and the Gulf and no one wants the Houston Shipping Canal to go down.

In terms of paying the bills though? Texas is just fine.
