Can anyone explain to me why the Texas GOP openly debates separation from USA.

Isn't that called high treason?

At least this was at least an alternative to the vital debate on bathrooms, "the most important issue to face GOP since school prayer. "

Is it just me or is the GOP striving to be the most whacked out radical party?

Texas secession plank defeated at state GOP convention


I always read that the GOP is worried about down ballot impact about having Trump. I think the up ballot impact with whacked out GOP candidates will hurt Trump instead.

It isn't newsworthy until they actually do it.

You are a member of Donald's fan base, aren't you. You solution to civil discourse is internment. You read much history?

Here's some information to help educate you before you go all Mussolini on the good folks of Texas.

I think you answered your own question - it's the Texas GOP.

It answers the questions as to why they think they can do it, does it not?

One definition of high treason is:

"attempting to overthrow its government"

A recessionist is doing exactly that.

There is a thread here about this subject from 2012.

Is The Military Pulling Security Clearances of Secessionists?

Wouldn't mind it a bit if some Texas GOP were banned from serving the government. They could then go on toilet patrol to look at birth certificates.

I'll be downright happy to explain it.

What's happened down here Texas way is that the stupids has done took over the GOP.

We had Dubya as governor 20 years back. Y'all know about his IQ issues. Then, he up an' went to DC and we got Rick Perry. He made Dubya look like a nerd. Now, Perry's finally gone and we got us this Abbott feller. That boy makes Perry look like a rocket scientist.

Naw...

It's just more Texas brand STUPID.

Look up Abbott's response to a routine military exercise last year.

So, this "secession talk" is nothin'.

Doesn't even register on the batsh*t crazy meter.

Why do Dems plot & pass legislation for total control of the public?
Then there are the edicts from the White House too.


Treasonous to me.
