I wonder how attendance at these events would have been different had the vaccination mandate already been rolled out or the get out of Afghanistan debacle already occurred.

Keep in mind, if it were to get on the ballot and pass, they would then form a committee to spend 2 years investigating if its feasible. Think of it like Brexit, once it passed the voters it took awhile before they were able to separate themselves. Not saying they are right or wrong, but if Texas would be better off, it is at the very least worth looking into.
Let's be real about this. They don't need a committee to investigate whether secession is feasible (along with the old idea of dividing into 5 states). You could make 5 quick phone calls to constitutional law experts and get the answer, which is no.
A law review article came to a different conclusion. This is an entertaining podcast.
Congress passed a resolution consenting to the division of Texas into 5 states

Last time we tried this they shot two of my great uncles at Shiloh. I am for it
but not enough to die like they did. Damn Grant and Ape.


It was either your great great to great great great great. Somewhere in there I believe?

I lost some right around there to it too

We've got tough times ahead no matter what Texas does

No different. Just a few conspiracy wonks.

Texas isn't going anywhere in terms of division or secession. It's headed blue, unless the R's can find a way to live in and deal with reality.

I would've agreed with you before watching the Democrats way over play their hand the last eight months.

What we better hope for, is that south of the border ethics and business practices don't become the norm here.

I agree with that. Republicans should always have done better with Hispanics, and are beginning to do so. Their anti free market take on how to handle the border keeps hampering them in that regard.
