Damn straight! Texas is a free state, we have EVERY right to secede and go forth independently of the Union. The second statehood was fun while it lasted, but the fact is that it is no longer beneficial to STAY in the Union. Our rights have been stripped, our economy has been hampered (strong, but could be stronger), and the promise to defend our border has not been honored. To all the naysayers, tell me, why the hell should Texas stay?
Because the US would be considerably worse off. With Texas, we might well be able to work to change the US for the better. If Texas leaves, it’ll be harder for us in the rest of the US.
