Even for Texas, secession will lead ultimately to economic if not social and military defeat. Secession indicates that Texans don’t care at all about restoring the Constitution or the Republic (not the Republic of Texas) but just about “quickly” their current lifestyle. Yes, restoring the Constitution and Republic may require sacrifices.
Secede and all you are left with is a probably hostile set of states to your north, east and west and a very hostile nation to the south with the intent to “reclaim” you.
The real cause is to remove the assholes who make those states blue and don’t for a minute believe that the majority of any of those states is blue. Redistricting/Gerrymandering has built enclaves that can elect democrats by way of a concentrated minority while the rest of the state is overall red.
Loyalists were a problem in the first AmRev but they were not solid enough anywhere to overcome the revolutionists.
“Even for Texas, secession will lead ultimately to economic if not social and military defeat.”
Then so be it. There are worse things than defeat and subjugation and enslavement. Texas has survived all that. Texas survived reconstruction and the subjugation of her people.
Maybe Texas loses. Maybe Texas wins. But, if we stand up for ourselves. Losing doesn’t mean destruction. But we must stand up and fight for what we believe. If we do not stand up and fight for this - who will?
“Secession indicates that Texans don’t care at all about restoring the Constitution”
Nonsense. Listen up Poindexter. Secession means that Texans are willing to fight and die for the constitution - to fight and die to protect traditional marriage, and the requirement that marriage be one man and one woman.
Now, either you’re on board or you’re not on board. But if Texas stands, she will not stand alone. I am certain of this. There are a great many Americans in this country who are tired. Who are exhausted from fighting and fighting and fighting. But they will rally behind a state that comes in and says, the line must be drawn here.
And so it goes.
Are you with us sir?
“Secede and all you are left with is a probably hostile set of states to your north, east and west and a very hostile nation to the south with the intent to “reclaim” you.”
They can come and take it.
“don’t for a minute believe that the majority of any of those states is blue.”
I disagree. I think the majority of these asshole states are assholes.
“Loyalists were a problem in the first AmRev but they were not solid enough anywhere to overcome the revolutionists.”
My family were Loyalists. We fought for Queen and Country and continued to fight for Queen and country long after the Damn Yankees stripped them of land and property. They did not rebel against the legitimate government of King and country and for their transgressions were stripped of everything they had.
So you can pardon me, Mr. Yankee, If I fail to join in your ‘revolution’. You can have it, sir.
