    Upvoted you because I’m an euro and I still kinda agree with you. If Texas secedes, I have no idea what the implications are for legislation and court cases. It’s like half the size of the UK by population and 3x as big by area.

    Sure everyone heard of brexit, but I’m sure many outside of the EU don’t know what it really is plus it took so damn long I honestly believed it might not even happen.

      If Texas secedes, they can have fun on their own with their kangaroo court politics.

      Truth be told, if Texas were to actually succeed in seceding, it would likely lead to a domino effect of other southern states following suit, and a royal fracturing of the US. How that plays out is anyone’s guess.

          That’s not entirely accurate. No self-respecting Alaskan would be caught dead associating with a Texan.

          Remember kids, the only things bigger in Texas are their stupid hats.

          Holding Arizona hostage lol. Though I also feel like the major population centers of Colorado wouldn’t have that

            Yeah lol Colorado is solid blue and the home of the Libertarian party so fuck off with telling us what to do. Texas cancer would only metastasize East.
