"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.
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.
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
