>>For those who are not complicit in the bad governance, I am so sorry that they have to be stuck to the same fate as the others.
Yeah it sucks. I think I am conservative enough to move to Texas, plus I have lots of family there. My first preference would be Tennessee (partly because I love Country and Bluegrass music) but I don’t know a soul there. I also liked North Carolina when I visited there recently, and they are becoming a ‘swing’ state, so maybe my vote would have the most impact there.
I’ve always thought that fighting against the local libbies was part of my responsibility, to try to be an alternate voice against them. Now I think it doesn’t matter.
My neighbors will get the government they voted for.
My in-laws live in Texas and I mentioned to my husband that it would be nice to be closer to them. He smiled and said he’d remember that next time he gets an inquiry about working there. It sits in the back of my mind that if secession became a real possibility I would want to make sure I was not right in the middle of the country where there wouldn’t be a clean separation point from the rest of the Divided States of America.
The part about the south, though, is that the Mexican drug cartels are coming, along with any other terrorists. If Texas seceded they wouldn’t have Eric Holder to fight, though, and could maybe actually protect their border...
