Just talk. Of course it’s up to them, and the millions and millions of Texans who want their social security. Nobody is going to fight a war of secession in the 2020’s.

The idea that secession automatically results in war is an extremely tunnel-vision view of world history.

I opine that it will not be allowed and will be quashed long before it ever gets to war.

What social security? Really? Isn’t going to happen. As a sovereign country, Texas would be in the top 10 largest economy in the world. Better off with our own social security.

Note to self: remember, there is no age limit here. More often than not, you are talking to teenagers.

Lifelong Texan here. Born in Dallas, grew up in Houston, then the Hill Country. School at A&M, now live in rural North Texas. So back off with that.
