I've been covering the #TexasSecession movement for a very long time. First I want to highlight to the rest of the country that this is a fringe of the right wing fringe in the Texas GOP and not at all reflective of the overall popular opinion of people of Texas.
So consider that as you tweet your catty remarks about how Texas should hurry up and leave. It's easy to be flippant when you don't have to deal with the consequences living in a state where fascist wishful thinking is being pushed as public policy.
How real of a threat is #TexasSecession ? Just the fact that we are having this discussion means - yeah - we got a problem. I have covered how secession is being driven by Putin. houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/news/…

#TexasSecession
@TexasGOP since you want to reject the 2020 election results, you must realize that you cannot pick and choose who won on the ballot therefore, EVERY single Congressional Republican representative MUST step down since they were all on the same ballot, including:
@RepTonyGonzales
@Bethvanduyne
@RepRWilliams
@PeteSessions

Now isn't your whole secession argument just asinine?
Your party is dirty. Your party let the Proud Boys in and thought you could control them. Big Mistake! Clean up your mess! #GOPTraitorsToDemocracy

This #TexasSecession, or #Texit if you will, is a hilarious concept considering it's being suggested by the far-right.

Here's what would happen under a Texit:

Revocation of all federal properties. Those interstate highways? Those are ours - we're taking them back, or you could spend BILLIONS on buying them from us, plus whatever it takes to maintain them. Also, you may want to establish a navy to protect the Gulf of Mexico.
The Republican Party loses 40 electoral votes in 2024, thus practically guaranteeing a Democratic victory. Also, this means two secure GOP Senate seats and 40 House seats disappear, maybe to be replaced by members from the NEW 50th state, Douglass (FKA Washington, D.C.).
