    After Brexit is Texit, next?

    After Brexit, what? U.S. secessionists hankering for 'Texit'.....


    Emboldened by Brexit, U.S. secessionists in Texas are keen to adopt the campaign tactics used to sway the British vote for leaving the European Union and are demanding “Texit” comes next.

    The citizen-driven vote in Britain can be a model for Texas, which was an independent country from 1836 to 1845, and its $1.6 trillion (£1.17 trillion) a year economy would be among the 10 largest in the world, said Daniel Miller, president of the Texas Nationalist Movement.

    “The Texas Nationalist Movement is formally calling on the Texas governor to support a similar vote for Texans,” the group said on Friday. The office of Texas Governor Greg Abbott was not immediately available for comment.

    “Texit is in the air,” he said.

    Texit, for Texas exit, is a play on the British exit, or Brexit, and was trending on Twitter in the United States on Friday.

    Constitutional scholars, however, say a U.S. state cannot break away, but this has not stopped hundreds of secessionist schemes throughout the nation’s history. No state has been formed by seceding from another since 1863, when West Virginia was created during the Civil War......snip~

    Why do they think they can just break away. Message to Texas.....there is only one way out. So once your in.....your in it to win it. There is no getting out.

    Texans need to decide if they are American Texans or just plain Texans. If it's the latter, please, by all means, Texit.

    I think, where possible splitting along urban vs. rural lines, might be more practical. For example NNY could join Vermont and NYC could become NJ's promblem.
    But if the feds back off with their controlism none of it will be necessary

    People who want Texas to leave without thinking are living reasons to strip the franchise from the dim.
