Ol' Bryan Slaton's biography reads just about exactly the way you'd think a state rep from east Texas who is pushing for texit to read. 

 

Quote

Born in Mineola, Texas, Bryan Slaton is a proud East Texan with values and principles that represent the great people of East Texas. These values were formed as he grew up regularly participating in church and family gatherings. Bryan attended Ouachita Baptist University, where he earned a double major in Youth Ministry/Speech Communication. He then attended Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and earned a Masters of Divinity with Biblical Languages. He served in the ministry as a Youth and Family Minister for 13 years.

Continuing his education, Bryan graduated from The University of North Texas, where he earned a Bachelor degree in Business Administration Accounting. Bryan now works at the family business.

Bryan Slaton is passionate about helping the people of East Texas obtain and maintain a Government that is transparent, protects liberty, defends the sanctity of life and fulfills the will of the sovereign people of Texas. 

Representative Slaton enjoys hunting and shooting.  Bryan and his wife, Sharmen, have been married for 3 years. They have a son, Maximus, and attend Fellowship Church - Royse City.

Some one brought up San Antonio with Lackland and Ft Sam.  Add Fts Bliss and Hood and you have to wonder what the USA. would do.   Maybe what they have always done, and say  it’s federal property of the USA and local rules don’t apply.  Try and argue.

The whole #texit movement is just another grift. Sell some t-shirts and merch. Get some rubes to donate to a "cause" that is never going to move forward. 

A guy at my local watering hole has a texit sticker on his truck, enters all of his brackets or sports bets with the moniker "FJB" (Fondle Juicy Balls? Fumunda Jizz Biscuits? Furry Julianne Beetlejuice?). He's carved "Texit" into the men's room wall just cause he's such an alpha. He's the perfect mark for whoever is shilling this shit.

Royce city isn’t east Texas. 

It's getting there. Is Greenville East Texas?

 

So questions, would all residents immediately become Country of Texas/Republic of Texas citizens? Or would you have to have been born in Texas to be granted citizenship?

Or is this going to turn into a white or fluent English speaking thing. Would you  need an American birth certificate to prove you are no longer American?

I would estimate about a quarter of some of the rural areas in Texas may not match #TEXIT ideal demographics. Brown people love a few acres, construction vehicles and horses.

Every one of these things are disqualifying in terms of being a serious and rational human being.

Say its federal property? It is, just as is every piece of equipment on the base, every gun, ammunition, every tank, apc all US property. The soldiers stationed at said bases I would venture to say the majority of which are not from Texas so no allegiance to the state.

But Bubba then chimes in about the Texas national guard, all of their equipment is owned the US government, none of it owned by the state of Texas.

The notion of states succeeding from the US was settled with the civil war

And in this hypothetical scenario, not only would all of that equipment go, but toss in the retirees - the feds could say "we aren't paying any pensions to anybody living in Texas nor are we providing medical coverage, VA, etc." and *whoosh* there goes a shitload of retirees headed to other states, and you'll see Texas National Guard members who have put in quite a few years bail on Texas as well, as they will not give up those pensions/benefits that were on the horizon for them.

There's so many ways the US/feds pulling out of Texas would turn Texas into a third-world shithole, it's not even funny.  Could you imagine Texas agriculture if it was treated like it was an overseas product?  How would Abbott find the money in the state budget to help all of those farmers/ranchers out?   I'm sure the Texit idiots think that some kind of showdown over things like agriculture would help them out, but it's just going to piss the rest of the US off, and it's probably going to be a boost for Canadian and Mexican imports, as Texas wouldn't automatically be a member of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement.

And ultimately, the amount of companies pulling out of Texas, including those with headquarters in Texas, would be mind-boggling.  None of those oil and gas companies, tech companies, etc., want to be treated like a foreign company by the US.

And Texas doesn't have the bureacracy for a state income tax, but they'd have to not only spin one up really fucking fast, but they'd have to sell it to Texans.  Yeah, that would be awesome to watch.  YAY!!!! WE DON'T HAVE TO BE A PART OF THE UNITED SOCIALIST STATES OF AMERICA.  OH BY THE WAY, WE NEED YOU TO START PAYING A LOT MORE IN TAXES.  LIKE I MEAN, THIS IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE PAINFUL FOR SOME OF YOU.  OKAY, IT'LL BE A PAIN FOR A LOT OF YOU WHO CHEERED TEXIT, BUT LOOK WE AREN'T A PART OF THE UNITED SOCIALIST STATES OF AMERICA!

Had a hard time explaining why this was a bad idea to my hippie looking Uber driver in San Jose of all places yesterday. And of course it ended with him telling me that the pandemic wasn’t real and liberals made him lose millions.

That was my initial reaction.  But he said "from" east Texas, and the unfortunate rep is from Mineola.

Holy shit. If you haven't spent any time reading the case for texit via the Texas Nationalist Movement website you might want to spend 10-15 minutes just to understand what kind of smooth-brained individuals are behind this shit.
 

Nah, I'm good.

You always remember some rides. Mine was an Egyptian cabbie in San Antonio who took 5 minutes before he was screaming about Israel.

So he’s bringing traditional east Texas values to the far flung, newly tract homed dfw exurbs?

Unfortunately, it appears so.  To the contrary, I brought my big city Houston bullshit to Tyler, but sadly, I haven't made much of a dent.

And then there is "we have oil we can survive.."

If a split were to happen it wouldn't be amicably, all profitable pipelines flow north and the US controls them. No shipping is entering or leaving tue gulf of Mexico without the US navy's approval so now what

Stupid dream by stupid people

Yep those pipelines and infrastructure would be owned by “American” companies that would have moved their headquarters to Louisiana. 

But Small Government Texas would confiscate everything from “American” companies in its borders, I’m sure.  Which would mean companies would cease doing business with them.

The Texit and Calexit people are fucking dumb in a myriad of ways.  Neither state survives without becoming a third world shithole without being part of the USA.  Those big economies that residents in those states like to discuss dry up.  They are only as big as they are because of those states' existence within the United States.
