Conservatives should vigorously encourage this!

It's a free course in Finance 101.

Hey kids, what happens to Austin after the rest of Texas stops sending money to the University and the [former] state government?

And someone on this very forum said that the state of TX had it’s liberals under control. That they where not leaking out in to the state and taking over.

Texas, cut the cancer out now. Wall of austin. The only way to be rid of the cancer is to remove it.

Hey, cool! Austin can be kinda like West Berlin. Only *they’d* be the commies and *we’d* be the good guys.

We’ll have a wall around the place to keep THEM IN, with barb wire on the top, and when they get hungry enough they’ll go over the wall into the rural areas beyond... and we’ll shoot ‘em.

I’m liking the concept the more I think about it.

Sounds like a win-win for the Republic of Texas.

Let them go!

Make it tremendously expensive to use Texas airspace and land routes to the outside world.

I’ve always thought if there were to be secession, it should be the red counties vs blue counties/cities (can’t think of any red cities). What then are those cities left with? Where will they get their food and water, materials with which to build? They wouldn’t need to be geographically contiguous, they could connect in the cyber world.

Permission granted. No permission to use our airspace or otherwise cross the border into Texas though.
