Nathan Smith, who styles himself the foreign minister for the Texas Nationalist Movement, appeared last Spring at a far-right confab in St. Petersburg, Russia. Despite roaming around in his cowboy hat, Smith managed to keep a low-key presence at the conference, which was dominated by fascists and neo-Nazis railing against Western decadence. But at least one Russian newspaper, Vzglyad, caught up with the American, noted that TNM is hardly a marginal group,and quoted Smith liberally on the excellent prospects for a partial breakup of the United States. Smith declared that the Texas National Movement has 250,000 supportersincluding all the Texans currently serving in the U.S. Armyand they all identify themselves first and foremost as Texans but are being forced to remain Americans. The United States, he added, is not a democracy, but a dictatorship. The Kremlins famed troll farms took the interview and ran with it, with dozens of bots instantly tweeting about a Free Texas.

The new Confederacy will need a foreign ally as did the old Confederacy. Perhaps Mexico would provide support if it were promised California.
It is a Republic!
Say the pledge of allegiance, paying attention to the words, if you have doubts about that.
Yup. Even Republicans refer to our Republic as "democracy."
That was sure our goal, and our hope for the survival of mankind.
We not only hoped for it, but we spent countless billions, and thousands of lives, millions of lives, to make it happen.
That was sure our goal, and our hope for the survival of mankind. We did what we could to break up that evil empire and free those slave states.
I don't know the political orientation of the source (doubtless I'll be pummeled by other FReepers enlightening me), but I don't trust the Russians and I wouldn't put this past them.
If Texas left would they still be American citizens?
Ah, yes... standard leftist tactic.
Redefine the terms against your enemies.
It’s all academic. Texas isn’t going anywhere.
agree with your statements and logic.
I want no part of dismembering the US. I want the criminals who are intentionally destroying the nation: Charged, Tried, Convicted, Sentenced, Punished according to the Law.

That would be great, but’s it’s not practical. Those “criminals” control the legal and political system in DC. Besides, if two regions of a nation cannot get along, is it so bad for them to separate amicably. Maybe “Secularland” and “Flyoverland” could form mutual defense and trade pacts, so the break up wouldn’t be so traumatic to economic or national security. Hope springs eternal.
FedGov is a construct of the USC. IT is pathetic thing with no real power except the power over mind, a con job. A committee of 535 losers dictate over the USA 300+ million.
The standing army would melt away in a hot civil war scenario replaced by volunteers of each faction.
Volunteers from each faction did pretty wekk the last time I believe.
The Lincoln debacle has wizened up the USA. Nobody today but extremist fanatics like you would take up arms against a seceding state(states). You are in a tiny minority. A throwback.
Says the man who honestly thinks a state will secede.
IS there any thing in today’s political environment that leads you to believe that the USA will remain whole in the foreseeable future? It is splitting at the seems.
