So, when is Texas going to secede?
- Thread starter rusvik
- Start date
I thought Texas is one of the few southern states that pays more than it receives.
They couldn't do it by themselves but they could always try to unite with all the neighboring red states and if they get FL then it's serious business. #AintGonnaHappen
Actually, Texas economy was on the long end of the stick when the economy tanked a few years ago. Our unemployment has been, and currently is lower than the national average, and we have paid more into gov't programs than we receive for the last ~10 years.
Texas could be an independent country, we have everything we would need in terms of GDP, and exports--doesn't mean it's going to happen, though, and I seriously doubt that any of us would live to see the day that Texas does secede.
Fixed- and we won't even have to change any signs! No English required, bros. :thumbsup:
Oil is traded in dollars therefore dollar will stay 'strong'. If you try to trade oil in any other currency the us will put their brand spanking new F35's to use.
or until the bankers says it's time for a change and give another country a shot at the title.
If Texas turns their back on the USA then Mexico will invade and retake it for the Mamacita Land.
The Texas Latino population grew by nearly 3 million over the last 10 years, according to the US census.

A lot I'm sure, but the amount of eligible voters is also trending in a way that doesn't bode well for the Republican party in its current form.
You guys imagine imagine that something the size of Texas is one big unified object. While succeeding is unlikely, it is just as likely that Texas would split into 5 states, an option that has also been discussed. I would probably choose to move to the Weird Republic of Austin then.
Of course you know all about that Mr. Goldberg :thumbsup:
Succeeding at what is unlikely?
Probably around the same time Quebec secedes from Canada.
Or when British Columbia, Washington, and Oregon all secede and become their own country:

Or in other words, never.

Secession has happened many times through human history, I don't know why you would argue it is impossible when that is empirically not true.
We have more national governments today than we had 100 years ago. In a world where every territory is under government, that can only mean that some states have split up.
