Texas is going to actually try to do this LMAO

What a waste of effort making my new interstate highway maps for them (I hope those aren't the reason they are suceding.)

You do understand that much like your Interstate plans that succession bill is going nowhere?

It probably won't go anywhere. If it does, Texas will be back in battered shape in a few years. They can't even handle a day at 55 degrees. Though I will say, I wouldn't be surprised if a state would threaten secession over having entirely too many freeways and state maintenance expenses thrust upon it.
This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

MultiMillionMiler

Well maybe we should poll the forum in how many want Texas to secede? If the majority vote yes, I'll ramp up my fictional highway plans for that state.

Losing Texas would be very bad for the country.

So long as we're playing this game, we all could do with less Californian exceptionalism. Doesn't mean we should remove it from the union.

I don't disagree on either of those statements.

Texas will be fine in the future. In 10-20 years it will be better due to trends.

At least my state is safe – it's one of the few states where it contributes to federal funding rather than the other way around. (California is almost perfectly breakeven, and Texas and Florida are in the middle of the pack, receiving some but nowhere near the most.)

Look at Georgia, where they've gerrymandered their state legislature. Also don't assume Texas will definitely turn blue – while the suburban counties are getting bluer, the Hispanic and Vietnamese areas are getting redder.

Texas has also put some things in their state constitution that can't be undone if it turns blue unless it gets 2/3.

Well, that's one way to get everyone to vote no.

As much as Texans rabidly gush over their brief time as an independent nation, they try just as hard to ignore the part of the story where they were quietly begging for the US to annex them because they were drowning in war debt from the fighting with Mexico.

Trends? I am guessing you've never tried to live within a budget in the state we share if you assume trending that way is "fine"...

Texas has said it before. Remember when Obama beat that Mitt guy? They tried to do it. Now two and one half terms later they're still with us.

Or when they say how much they hate US values and how they are so different and should be exempt from certain federal regulations, but then coming begging for the US to come down and help fix their pathetic power grid. Or trying to criminalize people for legally doing things in other states they don't like. Please secede.

That's interesting!  I didn't know that.
(I guess them begging quietly worked...)

It's always normal to threaten to leave when the going gets tough.  Whether it's in our personal life or when we experience a o political setback.   Texas is going through that. Like Hollywood did with Trump.  How many celebrities left the USA after that? 

Human nature it all is.

Back before the 2016 primaries, a couple we're friends with said they would move to Canada if the election came down to Trump and Clinton.  They didn't move.
