As a Texan, I wholeheartedly agree. Whose rules are we playing by anyway? No one seems to have any, so we should just make the break.
Austin has leftist influence simply because it is the capital.
Put it in a State where Dallas is the capital (strip it away from Austin) and that influence will diminish.
It will be a battle but conservatives have the stomach for it now.
One thing I’ve never seen is the description of each state; where are the state lines drawn?
Major rivers, I assume but could be up to the TXRRC.
