#Brexit's envigorates #Texit


TOPICS: Chit/Chat
KEYWORDS: brexit; nationalism; politics; texit
Since the success of UK's Brexit referendum #Texit has spiked like the proverbial hockey stick in Twitter. Thousands of tweets have commanded Texas Governor Abbot's attention who is presumably crafting a response. He has, along with former Gov. Rick Perry, mulled over the idea of secession in the past.

Texas' $1.6 trillion economy, would put it in the top ten of the world's economies. Texas was an independent republic,1836-1845, with a democratically elected government, Sam Houston as its President. Should it not have the same legitimacy to leave the USA, as the UK's choice to leave the EU via referendum?

This stuff is sheer silliness. Not only will there be no “Texit”, there will be no referendum on “Texit”. Not only will there be no referendum on “Texit”, there won’t be serious consideration of a “Texit” referendum by the Texas legislature.

More hot air.

The only thing people in Texas like is to talk about secession. Makes them feel like tough guys with a connection to people that talked less and just did it.

Meanwhile the state cant control its borders, and their major cities are leftist cesspits.
