    Me, a Texan: At least I don’t live in Florida

    FuglyDuck: Boot Texas! Florida ain’t too bad…

    Me, a sad Texan: Get Sally Struthers down here for my disadvantaged ass!

      For the record… of all the states that might become a viable, independent nation, Texas is top two or three on that list. It’s probably the only red state that really has a chance. assuming it’s not horribly mismanaged.

      and that’s kind of the point on picking on texas. the reason it’d fail as an independent nation is it’s horribly mismanaged and relies on federal aid for pretty much all of it’s infrastructure. Also, Texas is leading the way in ruining it for the rest of us- even more so than Florida. (For example the cherry-picked judge pushing anti-abortian policies through is in texas.)
