but yeah seriously this happens all the time

[Fredulus]

yeah these aren't REAL petitions by state governments, they're just some butthurt citizens

in texas' case especially. because texas has a provision in its state consitution allowing it to secede from the union if it wishes, no questions asked

[Ceist]

I really don't buy that this will happen, and what I want to know even more is why they want to secede.

What exactly are they going to accomplish seceding?

[Ceist]

I'm also aware they're citizen petitions, not state petitions.
