LOL like those Texans who hid while the little kids were being killed in elementary school? The US military will be better off without cowardly treasonous Texans. Oh and California has the most members in the military by a wide margin. The US will have no problem replacing Texans. |
They better do that soon. All those companies they relocate their HQ are having problems keeping their employees in state. They want out of Texas. |
Well Texas would still have Tesla. And no one to buy Teslas. No more US contracts for Elon. They would not have a money system. In the short term they can convert to Bitcoin. There would be 30 fewer electoral votes for Trump. Ted Cruz would be out of a job. His wife’s job would be gone since it’s with a company in the United States. This sounds like paradise for us. |
They’re also the trans flag colors. |

If there were a Constitutional way for Texas to secede from the Union and they chose to do it, the Texas National Guard would be reallocated to other national guard units. The new nation of Texas would have no military, but would have a lot of localized wealth, which means that many terrorist groups and private armies from South and Central America would likely come to plunder the unguarded suburbia. If they were lucky, Mexico would just annex them and they would get the protection of a true sovereign nation.

Or build a wall and get Mexico to pay for it. What happened to that fantastic idea? |
My dad was in Vietnam with a unit from Texas, and he hated them until the day he died. In his stories, they were responsible for many deaths of fellow soldiers because they were so incompetent. And, as a southern white guy who was racist, he said the Hispanic members of the unit were the only ones he could trust. I think we would be fine without Texas. Take all federal money, blow up the military bases, and help anyone who wants to leave. I don't really think Texans realize that their SS and Medicare payments will stop too, but you may not want to tell them. |
https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-biden-immigration-climate-and-environment-120f8a3fc440e3b2cccce6100e65b912 Mexican President Andres Manuel López Obrador agreed to spend $1.5 billion over the next two years to improve “smart” border technology during meetings Tuesday with President Joe Biden — a move the White House says shows neighborly cooperation succeeding where Trump administration vows to wall off the border and have Mexico pay for it could not. |
Take FL with you TX. |
I would never stop laughing if, after all their bluster, Texas ended up back as part of Mexico again. And if DC was awarded statehood to maintain the number of states. |
Where is that "smart" border technology? That article is nearly 2 years old. Meanwhile, we saw the largest number of encounters in history from Mexico at our southern border in December. And, AMLO is making demands on the US in order to secure THEIR border. One might call it bribery. Or worse. |
Texas is not going to secede from the Union no matter what their idiot Texas politicians say |
| What would be the official language of Texas? I think just under 1/2 speak Spanish as their first language. Someone with a Texas accent sounds more Spanish vs southern. |

Texas isn't going anywhere. Trump won over old man Biden by a mere 5 points. Cruz beat Beto O'Rourke by less than 2 points, and that's mostly because Beto made some stupid comments about guns.
Texas is two election cycles away from being a purple state - depending, of course, on what Democrats choose to do. They got carried away with Covid and BLM and anti-Trump derangement. And progressives - just like fundamentalist evangelical Republicans - have been a dead weight for their party. That should self-correct. Good candidates will be competitive in Texas. As they are in Kentucky for instance. Texas is not Oklahoma. Some idiots with cowboy hats and rifles are having a little costume party. It's nothing serious. |
No more federal government help by Medicare and social security US Military bases gone. Which by the way is a big part of the economy. Universities will lose funding. Texas constitution after the Civil War says they can not seceed what do I know. |
