Now, if you want to talk about states evolving into semi-autonomous blocks meaning less federal control and more states rights then that has possibilities. Texas seems to be evolving along this path right now in fact.

NO area or State of the USA is "evolving into a semi-autonomous block meaning less federal control". Do you not notice, for instance, that gay marriage, an abomination to most people in the Bible belt, is now legal in all 50 states?

Anything that the Left really cares about they will shove down the throats of all the states, mercilessly. They will use courts, they will use Federal regulations, the will use immigration, they will use Federal law enforcement, they will use tax laws, they will use legislative coercion, the will use brute force.

Texas has been no more effective in resisting any of this than Rhode Island.

There are no more "states rights" in Texas than in any other state, which is to say, virtually none.

Sorry to pop your bubble but we need to start by fearlessly admitting the truth of our position, which is terrible.

Also, demographics *is* destiny, and as the historic Texas people (which includes Texicans) are displaced or over-run by immigrants both legal and illegal from every imaginable local the overall trend is from Red to Blue.

I certainly whole heartedly agree with your statement that

"The South is no longer your Great Grandpappy’s South. Demographics has shifted too much; industrialization, migration from the north and west, immigration, social media impact, on and on. Window for secession shut several years ago."

Very well put, but there is no silver lining to that dark cloud in Texas or any other block of states, IMHO. Unfortunately.
