I was reading something about what pelosi is going to do about Texas's new abortion law and I thought to my self how crazy it is that somebody from San Francisco is trying to change a law in Texas. I know Florida and Texas seem to both be pushing the envelope lately. I feel that it's almost coming to seceding from the union. It's almost the only option. A while back I had researched which states were the most red (looking for a place to move) and I found out that Mississippi and Alabama we're almost the reddest states and Louisiana was also very red. It'd be perfect if all gulf coast states secede, that way all the way from Texas to Florida could all be one new country.
It'll probably never happen I guess.

There is a Texit signing petition in my area today.  Thanks for reminding me I need to go sign up!

As to your question, I fly the Texas Independence flag on my flagpole.

No.

I think we would survive just fine as we have a very diverse and strong economy as far as states go. The biggest concern is some of the federal infrastructure money for highways and such.

I don’t think seceding, but Texas and other states forming their own country once the U.S. has destroyed it self which could happen in the near future. One big advantage we would have is we would be able to keep ‘the lights on’ and have our own natural gas and oil. Texas would be pretty good at running itself without federal help.

Some kind of regional autonomy, stripping the feds of most power.  Tenth Amendment power.

Or, if push comes to shove, split from the whole program and invite the resident leftists to depart.

Florida and Texas are not pushing the envelope. The left are the ones doing that. Amazing that they can convince people of such crap.

Secede like there are only 49 states now? Nevahgonnahappen.

Form own country with or without other states after US as a whole fails, like we see in other countries (USSR, Yugoslavia, etc.)? Sure.

Texas sends more money to the Feds than we get back.  The biggest benefit is probably the nearly unrestricted trade with the other states.

Additionally if you look at Brexit restoring those trading conditions can be quite difficult leading up to and after a split.

Saying it is one thing, fighting for it is another.  

There is no way it would happen without a fight.

Why can't it be peaceful and still have free trade?

States seceding from countries means that the countries cede power from them, and no one likes to give up power.

Just like the fed gov, governors and local politicians in this nation do not run on principles and are merely creatures of the swamp.

This.

Also doubt that after 1861-1865 that Uncle is going to let any State(s) exit "The Union" again ...

I would hope to do so,look at where this country is heading. Also Xiden is going to probably come up with ways to ostracize people who don't want the vaccine. Balkenization of the red states or secession seems like a possibility with the direction and speed we are traveling.

How about now?

Seems a good enough reason to kick every Fed out of the State.

Nope, if one state did it, more dominoes would fall after that.  The fed government and powers behind the curtain would never allow that to happen.

Never going to happen. Texas still relies on federal funds.

We have to take Oklahoma with us.  I Know we don't want too but its the RIGHT thing to do.

And then we take the top four states of Mexico and clean that shit up.  Give them a constitution and get them squared away.

Then we take New Mexico and Colorado In just because they were part of Texas to start with.  They may not want to go but there are enough patriots there and it would take minimal killing to clean the commies out.

I love it when a plan comes together.

One  problem would be is how to get rid of the commies.
Even the stealth commies who pretend to be conservative and love freedom but are in fact materialist scum.
They will say or do anything
Pretend to be all “y’all know me. I’m just a good ole boy”
