So was California (for a few weeks, as The Bear Republic). But California these days feels like a foreign country, not part of the United States.
If things got so bad that Texas left the union, other states would join her for new a CSA (Constitutional States of America)/ What would it take? Election cheats, Guns taken from People, Forced Green Energy, Gas 28 dollars a gallon, Food rationing. It would need to be something really bizarre to set things off. How about cancelling the 2022 election? Packing the courts from 9 judges to 21? (one being Hillary Clinton).
Indiana, West Virginia and possibly Ohio would likely want to join those red states. It’d probably be more effective to draw it up by the groupings of counties.
Anyone actually looked at the TX budget?
Texas can’t afford to Texit.
Texans are writing checks with their mouths that their butts can’t cash.
Indiana maybe too. Each state would have to decide for themselves.
I say NO to your inclusion of “DFW” in that group.
Include Dallas only. I was born and raised in Dallas, but that was in the 1940s-’50s and things there are now much different. Areas West of Dallas County are MUCH different.
Now, all Texas needs is to commandeer a few nukes from the Feds to keep progressives off their lawn. God Bless, Texas...but, not Austin
Losing Texas would be a disaster for the rest of the US. Kick Vermont from the Union and the Left loses two Senators. Heck boot a few of them.
” there’s only one state capable of doing this, and it’s Texas.”
True That.
On the grave marker of my father’s grandfather:

“Citizen of the Republic of Texas”
He was born in the Republic of Texas which existed from 1836-1846.
He donated the land on which the community school, church, and cemetery were built. He is buried in that cemetery, a little over a mile from my house at the farm. The community is gone, but he still lies there.
Awesome!!! If they are leavin’ then I am GTT!!
The FR statist slugs are in a uproar. LOL.
Correct.
But let me remind you that the US did not have a right under English law to secede. But here we are. (for now)
The responses here makes we wonder why this site is even called “Free Republic”. According to the statist slugs it should be called “Nancy’s Democracy”
It’s easy for lily white freepers that live in Yankee enclaves to poop poo Texit. Easy for them but TEXAS IS BEING OVERRUN EVEN AS WE SPEAK.
See tagline.
Nukes have nothing to do with it. Think about that for second . If the threat of being nuked is the thing keeping you in tyranny then you are already dead.
Biden is more analogous to Buchanan...the only other POTUS born in Pennsylvania.
Both men feckless, weak and preferred to watch the country fall apart in front of them, rather than do anything to stop the slide.
