We'd sooner have a revolution than a civil removal of federal authority in the US. There will be blood if you want out of the federal government on a real scale.

drat, Texit is such a better portmanteau. America really is#1

There's also no real portmanteau for Texas to remain like there is with bremain.

This means Texit is our destiny.

texit is a cool word but for real states don't just leave the US by referendum. There's a p. bloody legal blood cost

Um, excuse me, but you'll find the South exited the union quite peacefully and that it was in fact the aggression of the northerners that caused the war. Fort Sumter was a false flag.

Scoop Austin out of the earth whole, demolish Phoenix, and move Austin to Arizona. Problem solved.

Again I'm not saying it's a good idea, but texas secession could mean russia getting involved in owning part of North american soil. It could be the outbreak of a world-war.

Those numbers forget that the south were radicalized terrorists so we really shouldn't count their deaths as American deaths

We have a pretty large national guard presence, our own air guard, and an actual militia all under command of Prince Abbot. There are a lot of active duty folks at our varying bases, but lord knows which way they'll point their weapons.

We have a lot of bases and weapons in our borders, or near them, yes. In a separation incident, it's not going to be peaceful and would probably actually hinge on the ability to take and control the assets if not loyal officers and soldiers HTH

The "Texas Guard" are a bunch of knuckle-dragging morons.

If Texit occurs, I vote that Houston and Austin remain. We'll be the Scotland of Texas, and the rest of the state can go back to loving their cousins for all I care.

The cool thing here is that the 'no' votes from Houston, Dallas, and Austin means we're safe.

It sucks that the hicks from the poo poo towns surrounding us give the whole state a bad rep.
