Texas one step closer to seceding

**Blake** · 12-02-2023

"....The Texas Republican Party's executive committee is set to vote over the weekend on which ballot propositions voters will decide during the Republican primary elections in March 2024. One measure would ask Republican voters, "Should the State of Texas reassert its status as an independent nation?"

Ahead of the vote, the Texas Nationalist Movement, an organization that supports Texas' independence from the U.S., warned the GOP they have enough signatures to force a vote on the question of whether they support secession...."

When CA. threatened to do likewise back a few years you thought it was Jake, Blake. What's good then---is just fine & dandy now.

Texas smh

We know how it turned out last time.

Texas sure loves the Fed government so nothing will come of it.

No way Texas leaves the Union - and if it ever did, count me out. I'd instantly move somewhere else with no state taxes and watch the show from afar.

The Texas reconstruction Cons ution is what it is. If they start talking about amending the Cons ution then it will be more than political theater.

I'd like to think that it's a ridiculous impossibility but in this day and age of Trumpthink, I won't completely rule it out.

This would actually be great for Democrats and America. Basically taking away Texas' 38 electoral votes pretty much assures a perennial (D) in the white house, and likely a solid tilt in Congress as well.

Not to mention America would probably automatically improve the literacy level 20% or more.

I would provide housing for refugees.

**MultiTroll** · 12-02-2023

Could Austin be annexed into the US while the rest secedes?

Fly the American flag and chant "USA" when it suits them, but also talk about how they don't want to belong to the USA anymore.

It's not conviction, it's just bitterness. Ultimately they're just projecting their own self-loathing on others. These are sad, angry, unfulfilled people in search of meaning.

Nothing to laugh at, imo.

The political ideology and will to power of sad, angry losers came tolerably close to winning in 2020 and could win next year against a weak-looking in bent.
