The arguments are fundamentally identical, he insists. "You could take
‘Britain’ out and replace it with ‘Texas’. You could take ‘EU’ out and
replace it with ‘US’. You could take ‘Brussels’ out and replace it with
‘Washington DC’. You could give you guys a nice Texas drawl and no one
would know any different. So much of it is exactly the same.”



"At a cultural and spiritual level there are a lot of similarities. A
fiercely independent spirit. Keep calm and carry on. The stoicism.
There’s a sense that when you’re pushed, you don’t just crumple like
yesterday’s newspaper, you stand up for what you believe in,” he says.
"We are easygoing, we are friendly, but when our core values and
principles are threatened, we don’t take kindly to it.”

The arguments for secession are the same here as they are in the EU. Most people in the US refuse to acknowledge that - even those who are in favor of a Brexit will scoff, belittle, and fight to their dying breath against those who mention it in a favorable light here in the USA.

ETA - see the post above mine.

Aside from the European Union government not being analogous to the Federal government and Britain not being analogous to any State in the US, it's a perfect analogy.

For that to happen, Texas would have to be able to function as an autonomous entity.

If ever there were to be a Balkanization, it would have to be groups of states.

Texas is one of the few that would be able to so function, though it would be a bit rough at first as certain things would have to be whomped up almost totally from scratch.   Like a Navy.

Give it some time. The EU will eventually strip the European nations of their sovereignty exactly as the federal government did to the states here.  

Don't forget that the USA started out as independent nations that agreed to form a union. The founders never intended the federal government to be calling all the shots.

Historically European countries have been sovereign nations.  Except for a brief historical period Texas has been a part of the U.S.  I've had those fuck faces ask me to sign petitions at gun shows.

There would still have to be trade coalitions, there'd be arguments over water, port access, what resources they can use in the Gulf (fishing, gas, oil, etc).

They'd be 'stealing' a lot away from the union and you don't do that without a couple of SEC states to back you up.

Most of those aren't a measure of Texas' inability to function autonomously.

Taiwan operates just fine without the rest of China telling it what to do.   When the rest of China conquers it, won't be because Taiwan was no longer able to operate autonomously.

Operating autonomously and utilizing the resources in and around your borders are kind of the same thing.

I doubt the remaining US states would be so generous with Texas using their gulf oil resources, shipping lanes, rivers, etc.

What I'm saying is that there would be coalition governments of adjacent states for this to work--and they'd still have to have some commonality (like trade, a somewhat shared continental army, etc.).

I don't think they'd be able to do shit if the country fractured into 5 or 6 coalitions with regional governments.

Pushing in one state's shit, OTOH, wouldn't be hard.

The entire masturbatory fantasy behind this is to decentralize government in this country.

DC doesn't know what's best for people in AL or CO or TX.

If Texas seceded today it would be the 13th largest GDP in the world. Most of the state has its own power grid. The state has its own food and meat production.  Steel, guns, and electronics are all produced here. I think we could make it.

I would agree with you. If that ball ever got rolling it wouldn't be TX alone, at mInimum it would likely include OK and LA. Regardless, the likelihood of any of that happening will remain around zero for my lifetime at least.
