    Comrades.

    When we stage our revolutionary electoralism and seize control of voting ourselves in to power we should let Texas secede as a punishment for being Texas. Everyone who wants to leave will, of course, be aided in getting out, leaving behind only true Texans. Their descent in to warlordism and privation will be swift yet pleasing.

      Texas seceding would be a wild ride. You'd have all this wealth and labor tied up in big metro areas that the secessionists despise.

      A big part of what makes this a fantasy is the belief that Ted Cruz speaks for the lay Texan, and not the goofy ass libertarians out in the suburbs who don't know where their treats come from.

      I'm all for balkinization, but I don't think Texas Republicans have any real interest in it.

      Fuck that we should put them (Texans^tm) in a pit and just give it back to the socialist states of Mexico

      That’s a bad play comrade. The real power move is you give Mexico the go ahead to annex Texas back in exchange for anti-corruption and secularizing promises that are non binding but publicly released to inspire public support of the conflict domestically and in Mexico. Then you arm comrades in Mexico and the former state to fight the reactionary elements of Texas and whatever develops as it joins Mexico.
