Then let it be so. Texans see the Scotsman as scrapers, independent and freedom loving.
Wouldn’t be a moment too soon we Texans rid ourselves of this federal behemoth lording over our republic.
Awl (oil), cattle/livestock, technology, agriculture, tourism, libation. Scotland and Texas will be just fine!
Scotland is not a bit like Texas, sadly for Scotland.
Whatever nostalgia drives that perception of similarity, it is obsolete.
Texas would arguably benefit from losing the bureaucratic overhead of the USA, but the Scots are unhappy that they have an insufficient degree of socialism. Based on previous revealed preferences, left on their own they would go for more socialism. Until they go broke.
