Should Texas secede?

[Suburbia]

I probably think so.

However, what will happen?

What will happen?

Where will progressive Texans go?

Would the old establishment support it?

[certified hummus supporter 🇵🇸🤝🇺🇸🤝🇺🇦]

The answer was given to them in 1865.

NO

[GregTheGreat657]

No. They make the Union better.

[West_Midlander]

Absolutely not.

[Thunder98]

This is a Bronz threaf

[HillGoose]

no that would be such a hassle omg nobody in their right mind would want to deal with that

[Skunk]

Give it back to Mexico.

[SteveRogers]

What are you ever talking about?

[Hammy]

I absolutely, unironically, support both Texas and Florida secession.

[GeorgiaModerate]

In college I knew a guy from Texas who frequently and obnoxiously proclaimed that Texas retained the right of secession from the Union (this is incorrect, which can be easily verified with a little research).  Some friends and I told him we were forming a group called the Americans for Texan Secession, which would support Texas seceding provided that the state took him with it.

[Fuzzy Bear]

To answer the question: No.

I think we should have let the CSA go. ExtremeRepublican gets his handmaids tale theocracy (without the free maternity health care, obviously) and we get rid of MS and AL at least. Preferably NoVA stays in the US but the CSA takes WV and KY.

In this scenario, CSA can be a conservative utopia in action and I don't have to deal with the south and northern/western states get to keep their tax dollars since they don't have to under-write the budgets of the broke states full of people who live in trailers with Confederate flag screens ranting against the 'librul coastle eleet' and the 'moocher welfare queens' who also pay for their government-provided entitlements and welfare.

Removing those states would undeniably help the Union, but we shouldn't do it. Texas, though, yes. They think they look really cool when they're always ranting about secession, but I'd love for them to try it and for us to get rid of them. The only things 'big' in Texas are ego, idiocy and the number of guns. They have a history of undecisiveness - first they left Spain for Mexico, then Mexico for America, then America for the Confederacy, then they came crawling back to the US four years later. They should remember that, and the fact that if the US wants to, it can easily crush TX if it were to secede from the Union. Logically, no, because TX adds a lot of people and capital and money and economy and whatnot to the country, but at some point, after the millionth time of hearing Texans harp about secession, I'm sure the rest of the country will snap and ask TX to leave.

[Warren 4 Secretary of Everything]

No, but Florida should.

Ideally the poor will overthrow the plantation economy and implement #CommunistConfederacy.

[Ferguson97]

Yes, as long as they take the rest of the terrible states with them.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Cruz TX will sede if DC Statehood is allowed that's why we must get Beto installed as GOV once we get a blue wave going

TX GOV is a better flip than FL since Abbott was losing to McCounenhey

I believe in waves this is the same Biden that helped Obama win 376 EC VOTES in 2008/12 it's not even time to vote yet there is not any blue or red wave unless all the votes are casted

[Big Abraham]

Yes, as long as they take the rest of the terrible states with them.

I don't think New Jersey wants to secede.

The answer to "should __STATE__ secede?" is always no, regardless of the circumstances or which state is being discussed. America is strongest as an unbreakable union, and our indissoluble nature is well established by now regardless. Even if something truly unthinkable happened, like a national fascist or communist takeover, and some state(s) seceded, they ought to represent themselves as the rump United States, not some independent state of __STATE__ or somesuch.

We've already seen what can happen when states get the idea that they can use threats of secession as a political cudgel when the nation as a whole does things they don't like. It's not good.

[Person Man]

Texas shouldn’t be a state. People who live in Austin, Houston, Dallas and to a lesser extent, El Paso, Fort Worth, and San Antonio would agree.

[Suburbia]

Wouldn't the Texas business community be concerned about this?
