I have spent half my life in Texas. I think we are only a moderately conservative state. Consider that Houston has an openly gay mayor. Austin residence are mostly liberal. There we would already have the New Hollywood for the republic of Texas.
Right now I feel I’m living in a nation much like Germany just before the Nazi’s took over. The only difference is Germans back then had a chance to flee to the USA. Where do we go from here?
“Residence” should be “residents”.
Every major city has a rotten inner core of welfare mooches that enables this sort of thing. Since the second thing after secession would be a new constitution, you simply put in place real voting requirements like having a job and paying taxes. People who work for a living don't have time for that sort of nonsense.
