I am guessing you picked Texas because of its size but to my knowledge there is no even remotely serious proposal to break up Texas. At least as far as I know.
Oregon has a problem because of all the wackos and loonies in the Portland area.
Oregon is dark blue.
Texas is purple.
Everybody knows that Portland is full of Woke idiots, but Texas is not. I would imagine that many in West Texas absolutely loathe (newly arrived) people in Austin and Texas. No?
Texas will not split or secede.
Neither will upstate NY from downstate, or LI from NY.
California will not split or secede either.
Puerto Rico will not become the 51st state.
And sadly, we will not invade and conquer Mexico.
It is what it is. Nothing is going to change.
The reason I present this question is the secession movement in Oregon actually seems to be moving forward, at least within the state of Oregon. Most of the eastern counties want to join Idaho, so it wouldn't create a new state, they just want to join another state.
And of course California always has some whacky new state proposals, so I'm just curious what Texans think. A place like Lubbock doesn't have much in common with Austin.
Not from Texas. But in general, we get the "blue" concentrated around Cities, and "red" seems to be less populated areas. This makes any sort of "split" in States based on ideological/political views pretty much impossible. And why something like this in Texas or California is going to be a very long...long shot.
With that said, you mentioned Oregon. In Oregon, the main population center is in the West part of the State. This is a big movement in the Eastern part of the State, actually was kind of surprised by how big it seemed, it wasn't just a few "crackpots". This would actually be the one case where a state "split" could actually happen, even though it would still be a long shot.
Secession will not occur within one or a few states. Common states would align in a secessionist movement. It would be violent and result in great loss of life.
Just like most states, the big cities in Texas are islands of blue in a sea of red. Texas has a big sea.
There's no west/east Texas divide, or anything close to it. Just some blue dots against a red background, and that's how it'll remain.
No, Texas isn't going to split into multiple states.
This is correct. I really don't think outsiders know how Texas operates. Move to any major city in Texas and you will be in a liberal dominated haven.
