I do believe that states should have more autonomy, but secession? No. I love America. Let's fix it, not kill it. I would probably join my GGGG grandfather in fighting to preserve the Union.

Nobody is talking about violence but you and your ilk. As far as what I think about your "heroic" GGGG father, you don't want to know what I am thinking.

Secession would be like the first step in a Chapter 11 filing.
After Texas rebuilds and repairs from the Federal mandates it could buy the debts of others states, like a corporate acquisition, reunite and install our own board of directors, then get us back on the Constitutional standard.

“I would probably join my GGGGgrandfather in fighting to preserve the Union.”
In other words, you would join the Communists/Socialists/Muslims etc. to go out and try and kill the traditional Americans who only want to get away from this scum.

Heck, I love this country too...as it was (rather than as it should be) would have even been ok with me. But the country my kids are about to get will be a debt-ridden miserable place...it has to happen, we cannot print trillions, shut down industry, and socialize a huge chunk of the economy, without a HUGE cost down the road. And they are DETERMINED to stay on this path. We are going to be Third World...and I really believe that is the goal of our President (that is who he and his people are...they cannot help it).

So, to me, it’s not America versus an independent Texas, rather its an independent Texas versus a third-world has been.

I sympathise with your feelings. I don’t think it’s fixable though. I think we’re too far gone.

Well said. If Texas were to take up arms against my country, I would take up arms against Texas. I’m an American first, period.
