Texas closer to seceding

[MisterBeale]

. . . IMO? Most sober, rational folks, can clearly see, the government in D.C. is not respecting the sovereign rights of the citizens of Texas, nor doing its duty by them.

No argument here.

The GOP would never win a national election again.

I believe it is legitimate question for parts of states to secede from the rest of the state. And it has to be due to a huge difference in thinking of the way of living.

I don't disagree with that, but it still means rebellion and war.

It is not materially different than Crimea or the folks in the Donbas region telling the central government in Kyiv, that they are not respecting their sovereign rights, thus, consequently rebelling against the national government for their liberty.

For the past several years, I have done some reading, as to why the UN does not respect their right to secede, when it looks like those folks clearly want to just have their sovereign rights as well? Global ruling oligarchs tend to be hypocrites when a local population votes for liberty. . TBH. These issues usually come down to resources, taxes and control., TBH.

My post on this topic are mostly philosophical since Texas isn't going to secede or even try to secede. It's just interesting to me to think about the 'what if's' that the topic generates.

Once again NonTexans thinking they can speak for Texans.

“Texas closer to seceding”
lol
No, it’s not.
Texas isn’t going anywhere.

Texans are getting angrier each day. Each day they are getting closer to seceding.

Ah yes the liberal plan of arresting politicians they don't like.

Ah, yes. The pseudocon plan of overthrowing the government when they don't like the outcome of an election.

Texans are getting angrier each day. Each day they are getting closer to seceding.

The survey, conducted by Redfield & Wilton Strategies, asked 814 eligible voters in Texas whether they would support the state leaving the American Union to become an independent country and how they would vote in a hypothetical secessionist referendum on this question. Overall, 39 percent were against secession, 33 percent supported it, while the rest neither supported nor opposed it or were unsure. However, in a hypothetical referendum, 67 percent would vote for Texas to remain a state within the United States.

Exclusive: How Texas would vote if independence referendum held today

Some 26 percent of Texans would vote to become an independent country verses 67 percent who back the Union in a hypothetical secessionist referendum.
