What about Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, and El Paso? Texas' cities are very liberal. The thing about that state is it's HUGE and has a very large rural and conservative population.
Someone needs to get in their face, draw a crowd and let them know they aren't welcome in Tx !!!
Its been a part of the democrats playbook for some time now so it is approved !!!
If 50 republican senators for it, who are the senators going to vote against it? It opens up more room for the US house of representatives.
It would be interesting for the border patrol agents. They would be relocated to Oklahoma, Arkansas, and with new check points. Texas would lose their military bases, NASA, and other large govt programs.
Texas will never get 2/3rds of Congress or the states to ratify. There are too many large corporations with offices and contracts in Texas, and they would lobby hard to not let Texas leave. The cost, disruption and chaos it would cause to interstate commerce would be astronomical.

Only Austin is liberal. The other cities you mention are Democrat-voting, which is a very different thing.
Last time a state seceded this country lost about 600,000 lives. We must preserve the Union.
Yes. Civil war is a terrible thing. Some extremists are irresponsible and frankly, stupid. Texans have this belief that they could be a separate country and function well.
You say that, but seems like every couple of generations we have to have another blood letting.
In that case we're long overdue.

There are many countries with far less that have endured for centuries.
Texas is the southern end of the Red Wall. Many states would likely join with it. There is no reason that the new nation shouldn't depart unhindered and in peace. The Founding Fathers would have approved.
