Texit!? Bullshit.

[luzribeiro.livejournal.com]

This has become the fad of the day, eh? From Scotxit-2 to Finxit to Slovakxit... now to Texit. Trump doesn't seem impressed, though. He believes Texas loves him. The same way he believed the Scots loved the Brexit (which they don't of course).

But seriously. A real Texas secession movement does not exist. This is just some crank on Twitter who wants attention.

Gov. Perry joked about the idea in 2009 and someone actually conducted a poll to measure support for secession in Texas. The result was 3/4 against, which is approximately the same level of support for secession in other states.

This does not matter though, because Texas cannot secede from the United States even if the vote were 99-1, nor is there any mechanism by which the 30 million Americans living in Texas could be denied US citizenship outside of an Amendment to the Constitution.

Texas' membership in the United States expires only when the sun explodes. There is an argument that the US could split into smaller states (California, I'm looking at you), but these would all be US member states.

But... just imagine! Texas splitting away, and naming W their prez! Wouldn't that be awesome? :-)
