A new YouGov-BrightlineWatch poll that was released this month found that Americans are so divided among ideological lines that a solid majority of Republicans in the South want their states to secede from the Union.
The survey laid out a bunch of hypothetical scenarios in which the United States is carved out into smaller regional powers consisting of a handful of states:

In order to accomplish this, states would have to secede from the Union and form geographical alliances. And while this desire was substantially more prevalent than in states located south of the Mason-Dixon Line – also known as the former Confederacy – a shocking percentage of Democrats, Independents, and Republicans from every proposed bloc of states said that they would support secession.
“Yet rather than support for secession diminishing over the past six months, as we expected, it rose in every region and among nearly every partisan group. The jump is most dramatic where support was already highest (and has the greatest historical precedent) — among Republicans in the South, where secession support leaped from 50% in January/February to 66% in June. Support among Republicans in the Mountain region increased as well, by 7 points, from 36% to 43%.

As Texas goes, so does the rest of SE and some outliers go.
One domino and BAM!
Chad Prather’s comments at 2:20 are hilarious.
When two candidates for Texas governor are even mentioning support for a referendum on Texit, you know the movement is building steam...
We’ve got some pretty good candidates running.
I don’really have a big issue with Gov. Abbott. He’z been a pretty good governor. That said, I’d prefer a tad more conservative, but if Abbott remains, won’t hurt my feelings.
Col. Allen West is a constitutional conservative and a tough as nails Texan. I like all three so far. We will see.
