A loud minority of Texans call for Independence, which is not really possible as far as I know, BUT could the Rest of the USA just kick another state (Not necessary Texas) out? Or is this also not possible?

    Honestly Texas just needs to split into five states. Not everyone in the state holds the same beliefs as the people who live in north and east Texas. The Houston and Austin areas are far more progressive and liberal.

      Can you imagine how gerrymandered those state borders would be?

      Yeah and then those states can break into states and factions and — oh we got Mad Max, nice.

      Luckily I’m not Texan, or even American.

          It would’ve made sense if Yorkshire was a city, which, it isn’t.

          No, what I was actually meaning was that Yorkshire was one of the historical counties of England. However, when you look at the administrative/postal counties, there’s actually 4 of them all called Yorkshire, one of them has an even longer name: “the East Riding of Yorkshire”.

          So basically, if Texas want to split itself up, it should, just for shits and giggles, adopt the Yorkshire strategy, hence, the new Yorkshire.

          Try counting the amount of times I’ve said “Yorkshire” in this reply.
