Do you live in Texas?

There is no serious discussion regarding Texit, just clickbait for internet chat rooms, among people who have too much time on their hands.

To: Night Hides Not

I did live in Texas for about 4 years. In fact I lived in the liberal haven of Austin. I also lived in CA (San Fran Bay Area), Virginia, Maryland and Indiana. Even in liberal town, Texas of Austin, the “liberal” bent doesn’t touch the radical style of progressiveness on the left and right coasts.

I will add, Texas has a unique culture among the citizenry. There is more state pride and independent attitude among Texans. That is refreshing. I’m not suggesting that Texas is close to or even serious about making efforts to secede. BUT, I can see Texas erupting from the grass roots more than any other state I am familiar with. AND, if the talk ever did get serious, like a statewide ballot initiative, I might make arrangements to get moved back there. I’d hate to have to immigrate later. My daughter is a “natural born” Texan, so maybe I could use that.

When it comes to the people of Texas, I wouldn’t bet the “never” line on this topic, especially if we elect Hillary. That said, I don’t think it would be a smooth transition. Texas would have to actually make the first move, would lose at the Supreme Court level and then have to order it’s citizens and businesses to stop paying taxes with an intent to defend them from the Fed. There would be a couple years of intense stand offs as the Fed cut all funding and tried to arrest the TAX dodgers and shut down businesses. It would certainly be a painful process. But I doubt we would do the Civil WAR agains.

You always know when you are in the company of a Texan, because most of them tell you during introductions.
