The Texas GOP's platform calls for a referendum so Texans can vote on "whether or not the State of Texas should reassert its status as an independent nation."
brexit was a referendum to do a legal separation of an already sovereign country from an international political union. There were already protocols written in place for it to happen in the EU's constitution. The British chuds couldn't even do it right, because they had to keep delaying it for like 5 years, right?
Texas secession would be an illegal separation of a territory whose government is a silly marionette show for oil companies and real estate grifters. The most organized group in the state is Joel Osteen's church. Texan secessionists even if they succeeded would be under immediate embargo and debt from the remaining USA and probably a bunch of other countries who would refuse to recognize the country's sovereignty. It would be a silly cartoon race to see who can put their puppet dictator into power first.
But what about Brexit? :british-maw:
i mean there's got to be a difference

I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm saying that underestimating how batshit insane conservatives can get tends to lead to disappointment.
