Watch out Neal, first Brexit now Texit!?!

No insurgency needed, we just need to push politically, constantly, employ MLK and Gandhi's victim-whining tactics, have referendums and protests, make life hell for immigrants and visitors until the liberal elite in Washington/California/NY give up and say "to hell with you, Texas". We can sort out the federal properties and cut ties with the US.

The United States of America is a dying dynasty. If Texas can break free and return to its conservative, no-nonsense roots, I'm all in.

Can Texas survive on its own ?

Sure it could, why not? We could trade with the US and Mexico in areas where mutual interests exist.

Yes, it would have to be a peaceful divorce, for sure.

After the split, the US would take a few million liberal refugees, all the illegal aliens, the homeless and drug addled, then Texas would be set. Low crime, no nonsense, a place where decent, level-headed people would work diligently for a good life.

They wont let you go peacefully, they expect you to do "your part" for "investing" into the growing state budget. Maybe you can secede by force - but you will have to fight and suffer for it.



There are a very few historians who argue that this was the real reason for the civil war. The North had pushed industrialization at the cost of letting its debts explode, now wanted the South to pay "its fair share" for it. They could not command this to independent states, so concluded they needed to enforce a one-state nation with a centralised government, and so the ball got rolling, rallying people for this cause by hiding it and instead pretending that one was about freeing the slaves.



A believable scenario in my eyes. Its always about the money.

So you guys are not only going to leave but you are going to do some ethnic cleansing when you do. I wonder though, how are you going to determine who is a liberal or not? Will there be some sort of Mischling test to prove suitability? Those subhumans are quite sneaky you know.

Then there is all those Mexicans and their descendants. What will you Pure Texans do with them?

Just round up anybody who walks into a Starbucks or Panera. Follow all the Grab drivers to wherever their orders were placed from. Setup a camera in the vegan isle at the grocery store.

The Texas politicians are just pissing in the wind and getting wet as usual, that should show the populace they haven't got the brains to do the job.
