A week or so ago, a story was posted on FR: "Texas secession bill filed in House" (https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3929116/posts). There have been similar stories over the last few months. This video is about another vote/secession (Scotland). Throughout history, borders have been redrawn, and entities have come and gone. We succeeded in 1776 but failed in 1861. The UK had Brexit, the USSR dissolved, Quebeck tried, and many others have done so worldwide. People go their separate ways. Stuff happens.

They do that and I’ll move there. I love Colorado, but now that it’s Colo-fornia, thinking about bailing.

I think the secession has been settled.
The Federales will bankrupt themselves to kill us in job lots and devastate our homes rather wave bye-bye.

It won’t be necessary. Trump is not finished yet.

How would secession keep Texas conservative? Unless Texas imposes school standards and teacher standards which regulate what our children are taught, Texas children are still going to be indoctrinated in left-wing dogma and a large percentage of them will grow up to be liberals. It happened in California as hordes of liberals immigrated here from the Northeast.
There's been a long-standing belief among conservatives that they can run away from liberalism. The home-schooling phenomenon of a few decades ago was a prime example of this - conservatives pulled their kids out of corrupted public school systems instead of fighting to retake them, only to find that their children grew up to live in a world filled with peers who had spent their entire educations in those corrupted public school systems. Liberalism can't be escaped - it must be confronted and fought. If we want our America back, we must do the hard work of retaking the public schools, the television networks, the movie industry - liberals put decades into taking over all of them and so must we.

How would secession keep Texas conservative? Well for starters a new republic gets a blank sheet of paper to write a really air tight constitution....

Would rather use the term independence.

A US state can file all the separation papers it wants. But the chance of it successfully seceding is zero point zero.
The United States is always lecturing the rest of the world about the importance of self-determination. But try it here and Billy Sherman comes knocking at your door,

2 ways to jump start it. Trump should call for a separate Quebec. Then call for independence with Puerto Rico. As the subject comes to a head he calls for Taiwan to be independent. Western Canada the has no choice but to be absorbed into the country of TEXAS. Kill THREE birds with 3 pebbles.

There are examples of excellent, successful recent divorces. Lativa, Lithuania, Estonia divorcing the USSR. Czechia and Slovakia separating. Those were peaceful and successful. A few others had some issues, but the point is dissolution can be done and done peacefully. If given the option, I would vote for Texit - no doubt in my mind.

Then there’s the giving of New England states to free-health care-Canada. Heh heh.

Every constitution that will ever be written will be amended and corroded by legislators to fit the prevailing political and social climate of the day. Unless conservatives fight to win the political and social battles, there is no legal document that can save conservative values. And that can be done without simply giving up huge swathes of the US to liberals.

Then you should just go ahead and jump off a really high building. Go away....

Seriously? This kind of childishness is the best you can do to defend your stupid ideas? Grow up and start learning to make intelligent arguments for the stupid things you advocate.

There is nothing "stupid" about secession.

***************
That may be true but everyone associated with him has paid a huge personal price. Its going to be tough to recruit high level supporters to his cause in the future. They are not going to be willing to endure the torture the Left dishes out on them and their families. That’s a big problem for any Trump led resurgence.
To: icclearly
The problem is
You may try to leave - but the globalist, statist, destructive, cult-religion of the left remains.
And they will never stop in their messianic attempt to control you and the world. The notion you can leave, and live in peace, is a fantasy.
