I’m rooting for it.
Governor Abbott has been making some bold moves with respect to illegal immigration. His spring-loaded anti-abortion law, which was triggered in the wake of Dobbs, was upheld by the Texas Supreme Court. And his attitude toward Washington is clearly antagonistic, as is the attitude of a majority of Texans, especially those who live outside the big four metro areas: Houston, Dallas-Forth Worth, San Antonio, and Austin.
Now comes a recent poll by SurveyUSA, which finds that (among 625 Texans polled),
60 percent would support a peaceful secession by Texas (poll #2).
80 percent do not want to live in a country that includes Democrat-controlled States (poll #3).
It won’t take much to push Texas over the edge, and the Dems in Washington seem poised to apply the necessary push.
It’s too bad that I no longer live in Texas. As a resident of Austin I would especially relish the wailing and gnashing of teeth by that over-rated city’s denizens.
