They do this all the time. Maybe Biden should call their bluff, execute his powers as Commander in Chief, and order the National Guard in Texas to turn on State Police.

No, not "bye".

Ok, leave!

Don't want to be part of the Union? Fine. Get the fuck out.

The inadequacy complex is strong with Texas.

Maybe getting a bigger set of truck nuts would help them self-sooth their short man syndrome?

Like the guy in another thread on here that stated that Texas is bigger than Europe.

Europe's area is slightly bigger than Canada let alone puny Texas.

The marketing for the Civil War movie is getting out of control.

Oh look, that's so cute. A bunch of idiots who never read the constitution nor know of our history. Secession is illegal and cannot happen. The union is unbreakable. I live in Texas. Please liberate us.

I honestly think we should not give voice to these people. It just adds legitimacy to their wacko delusions.

Would they have to create their own currency??

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 15 points 9 months ago

We've already got our own currency: HEB and Whataburger gift cards.

I think they should. It would take care of the problem immediately since they would get curb stomped in about .2 seconds.

So, are they recalling their Congressional delegations?

[-] PeckerBrown@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

Why is it that the crazy morons always have a louder voice than anyone else?

[-] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

Awesome. Bye. BTW, no more federal aid, and you'll need a passport to leave in either direction now. You'll have to negotiate your own new treaties with us and Mexico for... well, everything.

We'll throw in Oklahoma for free.

Republicans just love doing Putins work.

Texas is a big place but I don't know if it has the capabilities support itself as a sovereign country and have a full scale war against 49 other states. That being said secession is a bumper sticker cause for most who support it not to diminish the threat but I think they are obviously overplaying their hand.

Hahaha good fucking luck. We all saw Uvalde, we watched your government let people freeze to death at home. Go ahead and try but historically oil rich nations with authoritarian leadership get some of that sweet American™️ freedom by force.
