- thebradbain 3y agoWhat possible justification does Texas have for keeping Dallas/Travis (Austin)/Bexar (San Antonio)/Harris (Houston)/most of the Mexico border counties as captive colonies when they clearly want to leave? And that’s notwithstanding Texas is actually constitutionally allowed per its annexation agreement to split itself into 5 separate smaller states, if it so wishes! The reason it hasn’t though is because at least 3 of the 5 would be solidly Blue by the approved divisions made at the time. One a tossup. One solidly red. So, similar too the Greater Idaho plan. Or the Jefferson/California plan. Or Calexit. Or…

If Greater Idaho showed any sympathy, it would purchase their property as public domain (to be auctioned off) and it would help with moving expenses. Not that I expect that.

Admittedly, I am a Cascadian partisan (flying Old Doug and being vocal), not a part of Greater Idaho, but the parent's viewpoint is valid. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascadia_movement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascadia_movement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doug_flag https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doug_flag
