Funny, my whole family is from Texas and visited quite often and never heard anyone who believed what you posted and certainly never seen anyone like that and I’ve been all over Texas.

There used to be "Secede" bumper stickers on cars all over Texas back before social media kind of replaced bumper stickers.

I don't think they were terribly serious but it certainly was a thing in Texas as part of the Texas is a whole 'nother country thing.

In general, before you call someone a liar on the internet, you should take 10 seconds to google.

I was listening to them, or their ilk, on Alex Jones radio a couple years ago. Hilarious. And yes, they showed up as a rag tag band of militia types on the Austin capitol steps a few years ago.

So a minor group represents all of Texas? I’m not calling you a liar, but obviously it’s such a minority that no one has paid attention to them. I’m not going to google because you can find any off group in any region.

Cool. Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Austin, and El Paso will overwhelmingly to stay in the U.S. and Texas would be unable to survive without it's five liberal metropolitan areas.
