Don't worry, there is no legal way for them to leave the union so this is just virtue signalling.

Texas, however, does have the ability to explode into several smaller states.

i'm very very against any two-state solution, but i'm warming up to trading texas (edit: and only texas!) for a complete ban on republicanism in the 49 states. i'd even be willing to subsidize the moving costs for anyone who wants to leave with them, so long as we also make sure everyone in texas who wants out gets out first.

So he filed a bill, that still needs to be passed, that will just be a referendum that still needs to be voted on, that will only explore the possibility of if cessation is even possible.

That is such a dubiously worded statement. Its basically saying We would vote on the idea of suceeding from the union but draw up plans later. Its a way to rile up the base without ever having to actually do anything.Its the bill equivalent of doing an announcement trailer for a trailer.

I would let them leave, but the government of sovereign Texas would have free reign to oppress minorities and execute undocumented immigrants who are trying to enter the US.

No, Republicans in California try this so they can have more leverage.

I dont think thats a thing. They have to be accepted in to the United States and that would give the republicans incredible power. We cant just make states very easily.

This explains it well

Yeah, I have to remind all the my right wing friends of this on Facebook when they cry about Chicago and how we should break away to make a southern Illinois state.

I was reading about some of the scenarios if this ever were to happen. One is Mexico invades it to take it back or the cartels come and just fuck this new country up beyond recognition. US could also declare war on it for the oil after declaring it a terrorist state.

Texas takes in more federal money than they contribute, so...good luck with that.

Enjoy your 50% tax rate to get potholes filled, Texas. Or should I say "The Trumpublican State of Dumbfuckistan".

Texas is leaving the Union. It would not end well for any party if it did.

Texas gas production is needed for the US

gop cant loose the votes

and no one in the state wants it, its just something politicians keep saying without truely figuring if people want it.

also brexit shows how bad this would be overall.

This, Brexit has been a complete clusterfuck, plus as a Scotsman, I resent the fact that many of my fellow Scots, mostly conservatives fucked up our own shot at Independence from our Union with England.
