"If there comes a point where it’s hopeless, then I think we take NASA, we take the military, we take the oil,” Cruz told an audience at Texas A&M University.
A lot of Texan secessionists believe any white person who sets foot on Texan soil does so out of direct fealty to Sam Houston himself instead of any other reason
I mean...even if this was a legal and peaceful secession....you don't just get all of NASA because of Houston or whatever.
Like...probably the land the mission control station and whatever are on, but all that other stuff is still US Federal Government property which would still exist and own it.
They can just put it somewhere else.
No one takes them seriously bc they know they're full of shit. Talking about secession is just a way for Texans to feel superior to other states bc "technically were the only state legally allowed to secede bc of our agreement with the US when we joined" which of course is asinine.
That agreement was that Texas could split into other states at the time of annexation, which is what happened. Pieces of the annexed territory ended up in Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Colorado. Anyone who says we can legally split doesn't get that it already happened.

the fact that a standing US Senator said he’s not ‘there yet’ on secession is fucking wild.
We have passed through the looking glass and fully entered the cool zone. This is going to accelerate real quick.
Texans have been saying this shit since they were trying to secede from Mexico so they could keep their slaves.
Does...does he think if Texas tried to secede, they would get the ENTIRE US MILITARY to themselves?

Exactly how legal is it for a sitting US senator to entertain the illegal prospect of state secession
Texans have always gotten away with it.

Yeah I know but that’s the most common first thing ive heard from secessionists my whole life
Which kinda funnels back to why no one takes them seriously lol. It’s basically sovereign citizen level imagination
