Texas can, and should, secede. Every state should secede. The Articles of Confederation were the original means of government - states' rights trump (no pun intended) everything else.

Every state joined the Union voluntarily. Thus, every state has the right to leave voluntarily. We'd be better off as 1000 independent states where people can "vote with their feet" than 50 states subject to authoritarianism from a federal overlord. When states operate independently, people leave jurisdictions that don't work. It's capitalism for politics. That doesn't exist now. We should absolutely support independence of all states to govern themselves (and succeed or fail based on their policies).

How can Texas be beholden to a people which refuse to follow their own laws?

How can ANY state be beholden to a people which refuse to follow their own laws?

See, if there was indeed a mass secession, and Texas and the other red states "seceded", they would be the real United States who follow and promote the Constitution. The blue losers would be masquerading as the US for a little while before they finally dropped the act, tore the Constitution in two, and bent over for China.

I sure as hell hope Oklahoma joins quickly.

Also, just the act of secession could cause us to win, because it could easily trigger a panic in currency markets killing the US dollar, and the federal reserve cartel propping up and financing the left.

Most of the red counties are propped up by real value, like commodities such as grain, oil, cattle, and factory production, but most of the blue counties are propped up money that is effectively printed up and loaned out through the Fed banking cartel.

Let's say you joined a golf club, voluntarily. At some later time, you decide to leave the club for whatever reason, should you be forced to stay a member at gunpoint?

Welcome to voluntarianism as a concept.

A Texas GOP representative have confirmed he's presenting a bill that will allow Texas to vote on a secession.
