The majority of the ruling party of Texas wants to secede, and we should let them.
Take their nukes and kick them out the door to enjoy the ancapistan experience.
Fuck yes. This!
If this would happen, would Houston and Austin be like West Berlin back in the days? Exclaves of the USA?
I'd argue no, that's a pain in the butt.
If they want back in they can go OG City-State Republic and conquer and decimate their neighbors until the vote swings back.
Not true, it's a vocal minority

Doesn't mean everyday normal people want to secede. I literally haven't met a single person irl who thinks it's a good idea.
