Sure that is part of the reason some idiots want to succeed. You here this every time a democrat is in office, just like you read about liberals saying they are moving to Canada when a republican is in office. It is stupid. But I thought you were willing to discuss the concept of succession as a moral act.

If you would actually fucking read what I said you would see that I don't support actual succession, but rather the ability to do so.

*SECEDE. *SECESSION.

OK, what did your ancestors specifically do? Not just random whiteys.

You didn't answer the question.

Chinese immigrants had a hand in it as well many other immigrants, including your ancestors.

I have to get up and continue building this country in the morning. Night ya all.

A fringe movement that advocates for Texas seceding from the United States reports that 22 Republican district or county conventions in the Lone Star state successfully passed resolutions last month calling for a formal discussion of secession at the state convention in May.

Texas GOP Chairman Tom Mechler isn’t convinced that that many conventions had approved resolutions of secession and said he “would be very surprised” if that number was correct. The Houston Chronicle reached out to GOP officials from all of the counties listed, but only ten of the counties responded to say that yes, the resolutions had indeed been passed. It will most likely be May before the count is officially confirmed.

The pro-independence activist group, the Texas Nationalist Movement, which is responsible for pushing the issue forward, has come a long way since 2012 when only one county convention passed a secession resolution.

A party committee will consider the resolutions for debate on the floor of the Texas GOP convention, which is scheduled for May 12-14. Because of the number of independence resolutions, the odds are increased that it will be approved for debate.

But don’t get too excited yet, because even if the topic does make it to the floor for debate, the idea of secession is expected to be shot down rather quickly and will likely be little more than an awkward conversation. Although the number of counties that approved secession resolutions increased substantially from 2012, it is still only a small handful of the hundreds of counties in Texas.

Just in case you were wondering, the Supreme Court ruled that states do not have the right to secede way back in 1869. Naturally, secessionists argue that the laws of a country don’t really apply anymore once a state has declared independence. This would, however, force the federal government to respond. The last time a group of states got together and decided they were seceding from the Union it didn’t work out too well for them, which is something these present-day secessionists may want to consider.

There is so far no word on what the secession of Texas would mean for Donald Trump’s yuge wall.

We all know that secession is illegal, but in practice I could see it unfolding similar to the various states breaking off from the old USSR. I'm not advocating it and I don't think it's a good idea but I also don't think the US would use force to keep Texas from leaving the Union.

Let TX go, and then crush TX with economic warfare.

You could count on them supplying a federalist faction if one were to manifest, though. It would be a very difficult existence if Texas ever became independent, maybe if they could have multiple states in the south go along with them it would be plausible.

The problem obviously would be that unlike the US the new Texas would have to balance it's budget. It would need huge revenue increases to fulfill existing social obligations.

I dunno much about Texas economy, I guess a lot of oil would be the solution?

They would have to increase taxes.

Which would be fine since you would no longer have federal income tax liability.

Fire all 200K Federal TX employees

Close NASA Houston, all military bases, all other Federal offices, and all the civil service, supporting contractors

Transfer all SS, Medicare, Medicaid liabilities to TX nation.

Fuck the Texians real gud, y'all hear now?

Anyone who thinks the federal government would allow texas to secede is retarded. There would be a straight up occupation by US military and government forces if it ever got that far, which it wont.

Definitely not retarded. This isn't 1860 and they can't come in with tanks and occupy. World opinion simply wouldn't allow it.
