The only way Texas seceding would be ok is if there was a massive effort to relocate people currently living in Texas that want out back into the US.

How long until the Overton window shifts so hard in Texas that the Bush family run as Democrats?
Vote on secession sounds good. Time to see how well their economy does when it isn't burdened with financing the coastal progressive elite in their failed socialist utopias.
I mean, that's the Kool Aid they're drinking over there, right?

Didn't W already publicly support Hillary and Biden over Trump?
Secession again? Republicans continue to trip over to shoot themselves in the foot. We can't even handle the power grid, the fuck you think is going to happen when a hurricane blows through Houston and levels the shit (again) and you get zero federal dollars for rebuilding lol.
And I could be wrong here but secession essentially means Republicans will almost never win a presidential election ever again right? Why would the rest of the country allow Texas to vote on any of its matters? Clown shit. If it wasn't for my elderly parents I'd be out of this shithole of a state already.

The problem is that folks moving here are often Conservative.
In many ways, yes. The GOP are making more and more inroads in South Texas so Dems will be losing previous strongholds. Folks are "okay" with gay marriage but won't vote to keep it intact. Folks are "okay" with trans folks but won't vote to protect the rights of trans folks. They care about their wallets far more than the rights of others.
Pretty much. They talk about how Texas pays more to the Federal government then it receives so it can be fine on its own.
The thing is if Texas secedes, other red states won't be far behind.
You're assuming secession ends with Texas. It won't.
Despite how much some of you seem to have wet dreams about the actually decent people living in these states getting fucked over by them seceding, there is zero chance of it actually happening because they know their state will be fucked in pretty much every possible way the moment they do.
More likely scenario is that it's a "fundamental right" for employers to require employees to come in to work regardless of circumstances or something along those lines.
I was just thinking about all of the people who moved from CA and how they'd regret it now. Mind saying what he's most stoked about?
We're already in a cold one. Trump could probably stoke something real unless he does the world a favor and kicks the bucket soon.
I was mostly just implying about these involving him. They looked into moving immediately the day that Newsom said schools would implement a covid vaccine requirement on students. His whole family is antivaxx now. One of their kids slipped through to public schools(I guess before they turned into antivaxxers), and they homeschool their other kids because they dont want them to have any vaccines of any kind. I know for a fact my brother is all about guns and wants everyone to have one now though... They are also extremely anti abortion
It's pretty shitty that these policies are trying to force me out of this state even though I've lived here my whole life. This is so disgusting. I recently lost a bunch of shitty "friends" because I called out another person in the wider group for supporting this type of stuff, and everyone basically told me to shut up and even had the gall to call me "hateful", but their friend taking constant potshots at gay and trans people on Facebook and supporting this wider agenda, that's totally fine. I'm the one being hateful.
If Texas actually seceded it wouldn't be a shit hole. The GOP would put in every congressional and house whatevers that they are to support Texas for X amount of time. It would basically be a black hole for Republicans of the United States to toss money I . They aren't going to abandon it. It is an easy way to take money
If they secede would Mexico just try to take it back? I don't think they'd even want it back lol.
If there is a fracture in the US, historians will put the blame to right wing radio, Fox News, Newt Gingrich/Mitch McConnell and numedia like Facebook, which led to Trump.
It's insane how these places consistently hypnotize GOP voters into such aggressive hatred.

Speed running towards a revolution. This is getting serious now. And I sincerely hope we don't just meekly accept all/any of this bullshit.
And Texas would hardly be the only state to want to codify these things. In fact, they're all leaping over each other to be the most extreme ones.

Can you imagine the reacation some people there would have if Texas seceded, and then was annexed by Mexico? Surprise! You're a citizen of Mexico now
Its times like this I wonder why the federal government just doesn't start keeping federal dollars from places like T X the more extreme and nonsensical they get. Also this is their ridiculous platform, and the media won't hold the republican politicians running for office accountable to this.
shithole would be a failed state within a week if they seceded
they practically struggle to keep the lights on in their state as-is

They would be invaded by the US because there's no way the US lets them secede. Not only that, the US would not let another country attack Texas because it means another country might be within its own borders.
Let's say they did secede. That would give Dems a dominating lead in the house, possibly a majority in the Senate. GOP-led Texas would crash and burn (see their struggles to keep their power grid running and absolute lack of concern for their own citizens), and eventually they'd come crawling back to the greater US for assistance. And while the biggest red state is away from the union, the rest of the country can make some greatly needed changes.
It's a fantasy since they'll never secede lol.

Damn, the real villains in this whole scenario almost slipped by unnoticed.
This assumes other red states won't follow suit. They most likely would.
I would welcome them leaving. Even better if fascists from elsewhere in the country flock to Texas and leave as well.
That would be even better. Blue states are propping up red states, not the other way around lol.
But that would leave too many good people trapped in those states so I would never actually want that.
Texas wants to secede? Lol good luck, they can't even keep their basic utilities up and running.
Complete insanity... it's likely that not all of this will ever become reality even if Republicans control the legislation (according to the article anyway) but it really goes to show how utterly deranged and mask off they are.
This part of the article alarmed me:

Is this true? I thought the Dems had a decently safe majority in the House even if they lose some seats. (The senate is another matter of course...)
Texas GOP Resolution Apparently Opposes Judicial Review in the U.S., Rejects Legitimacy of 2020 Election and Flirts with Secession

The Republican Party of Texas voted for a resolution that would appear to rock the foundations of judicial review in the United States.

Unfortunately it's very likely the Dems will lose the majority in the House, it's been a distinct possibility since the 2020 election when they lost a sizable part of their majority.
This is how election cycles work in America. Republicans will gain control, fuck shit up beyond recognition, voters will flock to Dems who can't fix everything Republicans fucked up within 2 years, voters go back to the GOP. Rinse and repeat.
Also, any red state breaking away would immediately fall into civil war because its NO WAY the giant blue cities are just going to stand by and take it. once TX or these other places are on their own, no way there won't be huge problems because the cities and people who live in the cities won't stand for supporting these failed states while basically being made into 2nd class citizens.
Would it be better when the coasts couldn't get goods to each other because they can't get through the middle of the country? The middle of the country has lots of oil and farms.
It's not as cut and dry as folks seem to think.
