[quote user="Bucyrus"] [quote user="D.Carleton"]Because the "people that were ticked that their guy didn't win" are a just a few percentage points fewer then those folks who supported the guy that did win. We are a completely polarized nation. The last time that happened was the 1860s. Things didn't turn out too well back then either.[/quote] Yes, all this talk of secession is an expression of a polarized country.  Some may feel that the prospect of a state seceding is just too radical and farfetched to contemplate.  But the fact that there is so much talk of multiple states wanting to secede is actually about as radical as one state actually seceding.  I think we're in for a rough ride. [/quote] I think that we are missing a key point here.  There is no serious talk in Texas by responsible citizens about succeeding from the union.  The United States, as well as most other countries, has always had a lunatic political fringe. Mercifully, they have never been more than a tiny fraction of the population. I don't see anything today that leads me to believe that any mainstream Texan is in favor of succession from the United States.  This discussion has gone off the rails big time.
