OR, if they're so keen on seceding - LET THEM. See how long The Lone Star State enjoys being a fiefdom of Bible - thumping barely - literates with homophobia, racism & a penchant for treating women like second - class citizens before the whole " grand experiment " goes pear - shaped.

Back when we lived up north... i thought that, too. Now that we've been down here for nearly 3 decades (job first brought us here) ... with family (kids & grandkids) rooted here ... you need to know that plenty of us are NOT interested in seceding. Part of USA.

Thank you, but loyalties shift. I was born & bred in the rocky mining - scarred bosom of TN, yet I'm a southern as gnocchi, bagels dipped in curry sauce or Scottish haggis. I'm not very interested in sports, which is blasphemy or somewhere similar to it here.

Austin is probably the last bastion of semi - liberal, independent, critically - thinking people in that entire state. They might think about an exodus to someplace free of irrational, semi - literate Evangelicals with IQs above zero.

I am sadly not moved by whatever happens in Texas, unless of course they passed access laws for citizens to cast a vote, children were aided with whatever tools they require to have a chance at a good life, that health care for all is openly promoted and those who support Trump are lining up for free medical health care.
