    This is a direct attack from the progressive left to try and stop Texit. They know that Texit is inevitable and they are trying to make independence harder—we won’t let them.

    Lol, you think your red-wing leaders are going to allow ‘Texit’ to happen, when it would ensure the federal loss of Republican majorities for decades?

      Texit would result in…

      • A perpetual Democratic majority in the US.
      • A sudden spike in available Federal road construction dollars, as Texas will no longer be usurping a massive chunk more than they contribute.
      • The closing and relocation of numerous military bases, which would utterly devastate a number of communities that only hang on because of the thousands of welfare queen freeloaders polishing knobs while wearing camo.
      • Texas suddenly needing to find sources for things like corn and wheat.
      • Tens of thousands of businesses instantly shuttering and moving to other states because they literally cannot be operated outside of the United States. Like… you know… the fucking aerospace industry or anything with encryption.
      • The sudden realization that they do not have a military and thus no way to defend their borders without Cletus and his yokel buddies.
      • The slightly less sudden realization that Cletus was vaporized from fifteen miles away by a missile fired from an F35.
      • A descent into Russia-tier dipshittery.
      • Getting hit in the face that without the Federal government to play off as the boogeyman the Texas legislature would have to actually fucking accomplish something for once.

      That last one is what will insure none of these inch-dick GOP fucks let this happen. They KNOW they’re worthless. They KNOW they’re trash humans. They KNOW they have created a base that will absolutely murder them the moment the bread runs out.

      So I’m all in favor of Texit. There are literally no downsides for me.

        Your last point is exactly what happened with Brexit. Guess what? They are still blaming all the bad stuff on Brussels.

      LOL they can’t even get their smears right. The “progressive left” are the ones most likely to go “fuck 'em, let 'em go. See how they like it.”

      I don’t personally support that position, but only because I understand there are decent people trapped to one degree or another by the presence of job or family who are not the ones voting for these asshats in charge down there.
