What is up with Texas being the most separatist state in the US? I hear about it All the time on /pol/. Can any burger redpill me on why is that so?
Also why do americans endorse confederate states so much if they are mostly populated by niggers,not to mention there's Florida included?
Are confederates Ok with this idea,or are they competely delusional about removing dindus, once/if secession happens?
bump with pic very related
Texas was an independent republic and can still secede at anytime. It also has the power to divide into 5 separate states without permission from congress.
They were their own republic for 12 years so they think they're special.
>>78625511
Texas used to be an independent country for 9 years before joining the United States.
They've never forgotten this and they hold it over the other states like it makes them better. Its all bullshit since the independent state of Texas was populated entirely with US citizens to start with. If you ask them about it they'll rant and rave about freedom and guns but never make a coherent point.
t. Northerner who knows Texas got BTFO in the Civil War
>>78625511
Population wise, it has a significant secessionist presence. Percentage wise, that title goes to the state of Vermont... Don't ask.
>>78625780
that's fucked. Is there any other states capable of doing that?
>>78626123
doubtful. Texas is a huge state and economy. if it seceded, the US would be fucked.
>>78625511
Texas was an independent country for ten years and is big. They also have their own power grid.
>>78626234
It's the other way around. US would get bitter and shutdown any attempts for Texas to get bigger. Other countries also recognize the dollar, now whatever tender Texas would come up. It would be a huge blow to US, no doubt, but it would be an even bigger mistake for us if we left.
>>78626123

>>78626234
Texas would be fucked as soon as oil ran out.
Texas leaving the US is more akin to Scotland leaving the UK than the UK leaving the EU. In the short run Texas would win and the US would be shook a bit, in the long run Texas would be annexed by Mexico and the US would rebound easily
>>78626234
Oh i didnt know Texas had this impact desu. But there's no secession movement relevant enough or on the rise for that to happen,right?
Wasn't the governor or something of commiefornia claiming some separatist movement in case Trump was elected?was that just a meme?
Texas was independent for a while. They also have a very strong patriotic sentiment for their state. I don't know why, but people in Texas are more proud if their state than any other American. It's just their culture.
And secession is illegal. Texas can't secede. Texas won't secede.
>>78626541
You're right. Fellow Texanfag here. We would be sort of screwed especially with oil the way it is and our close proximity to Meixco. I would rather America just wake the fuck up already like Great Britain did.
I definitely don't support Texas seceding but I've got my guns and I'll go down shooting regardless if we do and we're attacked by Mexico
>>78625780
no they cant secede, we had a war to settle this question. They can split into 5 though.
>>78625663

Already did that - 6 states, actually. Texas, plus Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, and New Mexico.
what's with all these fucking foreigners suddenly talking about texas
fuck off shills
>>78629458
Its because i made a thread on it and it blew up farther then i expected it too it was a mistake on my part
>>78625511
Its just a funny idea, don't worry about it too much.
Texas could fairly easily be an independent country and was one for a fairly short time, but there's really not a lot of good reasons to.
dont worry
it trends every like 5-10 years here
itll never happen
No Texas cannot secede.
Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia stated, "If there was any constitutional issue resolved by the Civil War, it is that there is no right to secede." - wiki
That being said, aside from the fruit cakes no one wants to seceed. Texas Instruments, IBM, AMD, and a slew of thousands of large and small businesses, let alone 15 military bases, hospitals, training centers, the IRS...
Come on!
Rational Americans who live in Texas 26.96M

>>78630977

Is dead and buried.
We blame every country we were ever part of for holding us down, so secession fantasies help us sleep at night.
The reality is:
There are twenty one US military bases in Texas.
We have the second highest GDP of all the states.
We like to feel and act superior to the rest of the country.
We're not going anywhere until there's no Union to secede from.
>>78630977
>it's illegal!
Lol god you people sound stupid. Who cares if it's illegal, it's a fucking succession
Many things congress has done is illegal under Constiutional Law and therefore we are living under a tyrannical federal government.
It's a matter of perspective.
>>78631603
Not a law. That "ruling" was based solely on the preamble to the constitution, that because it said the goal was a "more perfect union" then a state leaving would imply that the union wasn't perfect, hence violated the constitution. Fucking laughable logic, and the only reason the SC wasn't laughed off the bench was the Union needed a retroactive excuse for what they'd done.
>>78631609
The Air National Guard? All states have their own air force militias.
>>78632447
And yet, the SCOTUS ruling is still binding according to the constitution.
>>78632193
Fuck you, I'm calling for a TEXIT
>>78625511
Hundreds of yeara of being culturally isolated and constantly being treated like underclass citizens by the government
See: average federal health, education, and infrastructure spending per capita.
Also they would be one of the 4 or 5 states that can secede and succeed independently.
>>78632534
TEXIT IS NEXTIT
>>78632500
so's the 2nd and 10th amendments. If the actual constitution is no longer the law of the land why the hell should some comical opinion by a war profiteer who bought his position on the Supreme Court retain its place on a pedestal?
>>78626986
>And secession is illegal. Texas can't secede.
Secession from the British Empire was illegal. Independence movements are rarely "legal". This Brexit thing is an anomaly.
>>78632822
Britain entered legally with terms of exit being defined.
Most cases where a state or area tries to leave "illegally" the area or state was not acquired by legal matter in the first place.
The formation of Texas was part of a larger plan to establish n the US. The Texit seeks to deterritorrialize the US and Mexico. The La Paz sidebar outlines the plan.
>>78626234
When is this meme going to die?
>>78625511
Imho it's dumb because Texas also has the largest amount of hispanics out of any state (along with California and Florida).
It's one of the least white states in the country.
Not to mention East Texas (near Louisiana) and Houston/Dallas are filled to the brim with niggers.
>>78625511
The American culture is founded heavily on the beliefs of individualism and equal oppurtunity. We are a culture found on the idea of being an underdog who overcame grand obstacles to be the best of the best. We are a culture found on an extremely diverse field of thoughts and opinions.
Put that together with the fact that the US is currently looking rather liberal and Texas is extremely conservative as well as the epitome of the idea of 'Old American Values' and you get this kind of thing. It's really just a meme and Texans know they don't truly want independence, it's just a matter of people loving the idea of Freedom.
>>78632799
The second amendment still exists, though I'll give you the tenth.
>>78629361
Not true, Kansas was partitioned out of the Louisiana territory, as well as most of the other states here. Texas was part of Mexico until they won their independence. The 5 states would be partitioned out of the current borders. Which would never happen.
I'm ok if trump doesn't win
I don't want to be apart of the Ted Cruz 's assblast brigade and miss out on Trump while we're stuck with mr. Israel
>>78633085
Don't lump wetbacks and tejanos. Tejanos were here when we all (anglos and tejanos) decided to rebel against mexico, and fought side by side with anglos at goliad, the alamo, and san jacinto. They're based as fuck, and hate the illegals even more than the whites do.
Texas has an overinflated, yet undeserved, pride.
>>78634185
Right. The treaty of Hidalgo and what not gave them a choice to stay in the US and they chose correctly.
>>78626234
no if it seceded the rest of america would roll in the tanks and force them back into the union, there is no way the feds would allow any state of the union to seceded.
>>78633401
Not true, Kansas was partitioned out of Texas as well.

>>78626988
Even if Texas left he Union (which will never happen) Mexico would never dare to attack Texas, because america

The law is the US military not letting Texas leave

>>They can split into 5 though.
>Already did that - 6 states, actually. Texas, plus Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, and New Mexico.
Aaand I'm wrong. The split that broke off the other 5 states and left Texas with its present borders had a clause apecifically stating thst this didn't affect the 'split into 5 states' clause of the articles of accession. This agreement was ratified by both Texas and the US congress. So we still have that.
>>78634705
So you agree that it's a tyranny.

Who wants to be in the same union as Commiefornie? Death to FEDZOG!
>>78625511
Texas is a state that gained its freedom through fighting against a superior enemy. So if you look at how America became independent and how that would inflate your ego, multiply that by what Texas did to Mexico and you can see where our pride comes from.
We also have a fairly successful economy based on strong conservative values. This doesn't fit the narrative of dumb rednecks that liberals spout off. Also consider that Texas is a fairly balanced state with the best chance of surviving if it ever did leave.
Now, the truth is is that any succession movement is minor at best. We just like to say it to piss off non Texans, and it works lol.
I grew up wanting seccession. Went to an all male catholic prep school and many of the Priest and students felt the same way. You could point out the carpetbagger families by who was against it.
>>78625780
>It also has the power to divide into 5 separate states without permission from congress.
We're the motherfucking Voltron state.
There's no point in seceding now.
Texas is a sweaty shithole full of hispanics and blacks. 20 years ago the state might have been worth saving, but today it's overrun by minorities and migrants from lefty cesspools like california.
Ask your average Texan how nice inner city Houston or Dallas is. Ask them if they're looking to move to El Paso any time soon. Texas is done.

Almost all states in fact have their own state militias.

Texas used to be their own country. The state has fought off Mexico who wanted it and for several years, prospered by themselves until USA asked them in they wanted to be included in the Union, which they agreed to. All the Tenants, including the Mexican ones, were then citizens.
Texas has basically done things on their own and have lived sort of separate from all this Union drama, even the Civil War, both sides basically just knocked on Texas' door, one to invite, one to tell the news the other lost.
Texas is like every other secessionist state, in that it's this area between two bigger states, Mexico and USA, that pretty much developed independently so they don't feel too attached to the main State.
Confederate States honestly have nothing to do with Texas Secession, only that Texas has the most potent argument for seceding so it's the only real opportunity they have to keep the secession momentum moving.
Because of its history, its economy, having a port, its resources, its agriculture, its oil, and its continuing growing development, Texas always has people who feel like the Union is putting unnecessary pressure and restrictions and so feel that they should just leave and do what they want. Texas is basically the State Rights Meter, the more the Federal Government reduces State power, the more Texans feel like seceding, because as you know, we are called the UNITED STATES of America, not American Union.
Texas is basically the only state that takes the concept of a State in the Union to its purest concept. It very much functions on its own and can continue functioning on its own post-secession.
>>78626618
>as soon as oil ran out
That's cute.
Texas is the biggest red state and second biggest state overall but faggots like Obongo and (most likely) Shillary keep getting elected.
Obongo keeps sending them Muslim refugees.
Now Obongo wants to take away their guns.
Eventually Texas will have had enough and secede.

When you're the state taking the brunt of violent illegals, it colours your view of immigration and national government. Texas is also fairly independent, they can return to being a country as before and will see economic success. Texas probably won't secede without other states though.

>>78625511
Born and raised Texan here. Lived here for all 30 years of my life:
As young children Texans are taught Texan history alongside U.S. history. We learn about the Texas Revolution in detail and how we were our own nation (the Republic of Texas) for a short while.
We have always been somewhat independent in nature and we tend to not follow the trends of the nation, but think for ourselves. We prefer to take responsibility for our own safety, security, and livelihood in lieu of government intervention whenever possible. It's a point of pride to Texans that Texas is different from all other states. We don't conform to the generalizations of the south, south west, or breadbasket (which are our borders).
We are proud of our heritage. Texans have always distinguished themselves in battle as officers and enlisted in every war since our inception. We developed a robust economy that continues to be larger and more powerful than most sovereign nations. Our state contains a huge variety of geographic diversity, including large plains, steppes, swamps, deserts, and forests. It is a wonderful state for outdoorsmen and rich in resources.
Because of this mindset and education we have always seen ourselves as part of the Union by choice, but not by requirement (legal arguments aside). We believe we are self-sufficient and could survive as an independent nation if wanted or needed.
>>78637079
Yes it is

Where I live (coastal southeast to be extremely general) my family has bought plots that size for a grand or two; and my best friend bought his 2 bedroom small brick house for ~12k with a decent yard. To be fair I have no idea what land costs in more urbanized parts of the state because there's so much variance, but I was able to buy my house when I was 19 after getting my GED. It's pretty prosperous in the right places. 0%-2% percent crime rate in the surrounding villages as well.

The broke away from Mexico and tried to go it alone. Then they found that was harder than they thought, so they just let America annex them.

Texans think they are special, because their state was fought and won against a superior power (Mexico). And they did it on their own with no help from the USA.
This is noble for sure, however; any semblance of what people may think of as "Texas" quickly disappeared when they joined the union, and it has become far more diluted as time goes on. The Texas of today is far different to the Texas of the 80's, which was far different to the Texas of the 60's, etc.
At this point, it's just a Florida-alternate; I.e., a place for liberals and Jews to go to when they can no longer stand the shit weather in the states they originate from; and/or they lose their job in said northern state, and are left with the choice of: try to find a job with the scraps left of their particular industry in their state; or go to Texas, where business is booming, and accept a lower salary, but enjoy a decent quality of life, particularly weather-wise.

>The Legislature of Chihuahua described the situation it faced in 1846. "We travel the roads…at their [i.e., the Comanches and Apaches] whim; we cultivate the land where they wish and in the amount they wish; we use sparingly things they have left to us until the moment that it strikes their appetite to take them for themselves."
>The Comanche raids deep into Mexico created fear that the Comanche soon might even be seen "on the streets of Mexico City."
>Traveler Josiah Gregg said that "the whole country from New Mexico to the borders of Durango is almost entirely depopulated. The haciendas and ranchos have been mostly abandoned, and the people chiefly confined to the towns and cities."
>When American troops invaded northern Mexico in 1846 they found a devastated landscape and a demoralized people. There was little resistance to the Anglo-Americans. Some Mexicans in the north perhaps welcomed the US invasion with the hope that the U.S. would be more successful in fighting the "barbarians" than Mexican forces had been.

This. There is absolutely nothing fucking special about Texas. I know tons of Texans and they're just your average dumb Murrrican types but they think they're important for some damn reason, who knows why. And they wear cowboy hats when it's not Halloween ... I try to give them candy and they just look confused
