In the eyes of the people of Texas, it is not that Texas is inseparable from the United States, but that the United States is inseparable from Texas. Texas' status was originally an independent state, and in the absence of The State's interests, Texas had full authority to expel the United States from "Germanity." As the United States descends into a series of crises, the willingness of the Texan people to become independent is becoming increasingly strong. A few days ago, Texas Senate Cruz publicly stated that if Democratic politicians destroy the United States, Texas should be independent from the United States. After Texas fired its first shots of independence, more and more people responded to Cruz's independence rhetoric.
Of the 50 U.S. states, Texas is at the forefront of strength. Second only to Alaska in terms of area, the total GDP is 1.73 trillion yuan. If it were to become independent, it would become the 10th largest economy in the world. In addition, Texas is known as the second Silicon Valley, and a large number of high-tech industries have gathered in the state, and the scientific and technological strength is very strong. Finally, Texas' agricultural and industrial strength is also not bad, agriculture ranks second in the United States, oil production accounts for one-third of the United States, and natural gas accounts for a quarter. After independence, Texas can pay more than $100 billion less to the federal government each year. In general, Texas has the strength to go out independently, and independence has many benefits for the People of Texas.
When Texas joined the United States, it joined as an independent state. After joining the United States, Texas was at odds with the United States. For example, the United States has three major grid systems, the Eastern Grid, the Western Grid, and the Texas Power Grid. The Texas power grid is not dependent on the U.S. grid, but is completely independent. Moreover, in the ideological field, Texans are at odds with the white left, especially against Californian culture. The people of Texas were fed up with the hypocrisy of the Democratic Party, and under Texan law, Texas had the right to choose independence from the United States.
Russian President Vladimir Putin once said that the United States is walking on the old path of the Soviet Union at a confident pace. The Soviet Union was once powerful, on an equal footing with the United States, and the torrent of steel made Western Europe tremble. However, after a series of events, the Soviet Union collapsed. Today, the United States is also following in the footsteps of the Soviet Union, and the pace is accelerating. Because in addition to Texas, there are other states that also have independent tendencies, such as California, Alaska, and Hawaii. If the United States cannot resolve the successive crises, the United States will not be far from divided.
An agency once published a poll showing that 52% of Trump supporters favored "red and blue" state independence, and 41% of Biden supporters also approved of this. Although the poll only counts some data, it shows to some extent that the internal crisis in the United States has intensified and division has become the norm. In the current situation of incompetence of the American authorities, a growing number of people are losing patience and eager to be freed from federal control.
