Friend of mine in Texas once told me that when Texas joined the union, they did so with the understanding they could leave anytime they wanted. Apparently, it is a legal agreement between Texas and the Union.
Always figured if it really hits the fan, we all retreat to Texas and that is where we make our stand.
Easy to vote your way into socialism, but impossible to vote your way out of it.

Better do it now before it’s to late and we all become worker drones.

The voters in Texas should have a referendum.50%+1 takes the vote one way or the other.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Texas seceded. A war was fought. Texas lost. There is no "legal agreement".
Texas flag, and ALL sate flags can fly at the same height as the U.S. flag. If a stae flag is on one pole and the U.S. flag on another, the U.S. flag must be on the right or on the viewer's left. If multiple state flags are flown the U.S. flag must be in the center of the display and ABOVE ALL the state flags.

You can cookie cut out Chicago, Denver, the Twin Cities in Mn. a few others too,,,, of course Texas has a couple cities that need some work as well but maybe they'd come around with no more imports.

Keep Texas and let California leave. We keep waiting on that fault to live up to its expectations. Maybe some of our soon to be out of work oil drillers could help with that -- I'd support them any way I could.

In less than 10 years imo, Texas will be blue so I say, skedaddle lol. Well, with that said, looks like most States in less than 10 years will turn blue because the "big city" votes will out weigh the rural votes. Or they'll hack the computers to make it so.
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....
