Succession Threads: Merged

[gos]

I find it entertaining how many people think secession because you don't like an election is a likely outcome.

In so many words, thats what happened in 1861. Southern states did not like the fact a republican president won. They left.

Texas is one of the largest economies in not just the US but the world and has managed to do much better than the majority of the country since the recession occurred. The Texas economy continues to grow despite the majority of the US economy.

It's not a matter of whether or not Texas can survive without the US it is more a matter of how badly hurt the US would be without TX.

I assume that the newly independent Republic of Texas would insist on a mutual defense treaty with the United States that it despises so much?

I would be down. Let the welfare hounds have their own country.

Are you insinuating that the United states would militarily attack the peaceful nation of Texas? Or are you insinuating that Mexico would attack Texas?

A noble thought,.Texas and 29 other states seceding.

But they have it all wrong, it should be 50 states telling DC to fuck off.
We are a nation of states that are to dictate to the Fed what We The People demand of our elected leaders.

A Judge from Texas mentioned something not to long ago about civil unrest if Oblowme won a 2nd term...



... I guess it's starting to look like he's right...

there are lots of S&P500 companies in TX, but they gotta factor these in.
IF TX goes independent and not a part of US, doing business with US will be international trade. Some minor tariffs and quotas will be imposed.
No federal funding of any sort.

TX then has has impose same thing on goods that comes into TX.
Walmart, Safeway, Kroger, automobiles, and any necessities to luxury item will be an import, not a delivery.

IMHO, Odds are very slim at this time. Who knows near to distant future....
