Biden has already turned a lot of those Blue Counties Red.

Not likely I admit. But you’re assuming fair weather. If social security and Medicare go bust and the government defaults on the debt, I can foresee a movement coming to do it.

From Maryland? Be prepared for a culture shock (not in a bad way) ;)

I’m fine with it. The following words will never escape my lips: “That’s not how we do things where I’m from!”

As a Texas native I would have no objection to the United States of Texas as long as it adopted the existing Constitution in toto. That might not seem ideal to those of us who would really like to see certain wording clarified with the opportunity presented, but it would be best to trespass on the Oath as lightly as possible by continuing to uphold every jot and tittle of the existing Constitution. Then possibly later we could amend it by due process.

I would fully support Texas' right to self-determination although I fear it would begin CW2 as the feds would never allow it...I disagree. But I relish the fight if it comes to blows, so I hope you are correct.

Note to Cruz: And just how will your state make up what it gets from Fedzilla?Are you daft? Post secession Texas would collect federal taxes instead of DC. Wow, that was easy.

Texas could raise and army 3 or 4 times the size of the USA overnight. They would have to turn some away...

Well without the Jane Fonda DOE the Republic of Texas would have about 10 nuclear power plants in 10 years...

This talk of secession is silly. No it's not "silly". But you are a silly bootlicking jacka$$.

The blue states would welcome China in it’s new role.If the US breaks up neither half would be in any position to counter China, and neither would be too happy about China becoming top country.

Wait, most “smart” Freepers say China can’t take on tiny Taiwan but they are worried the PLA-N is going to invade and take over the entire N.A. continent? I come here for the comedic relief... <:-O

No, that’s a myth. Texas can break into 5 separate states if it wishes, though.

Texans would build Texas nuclear plants. Are you OK? I'm fine. I have questions about your rationality.
What engineering company in Texas has experience building one nuclear power plant recently, much less able to build 10 in 10 years.
