Texans often have an unhealthy preoccupation with their state and the mythology that Texas history has produced. Many conservatives carry notions about American exceptionalism around; conservative Texans inflate the notion exponentially with lunatic fantasies about Texas exceptionalism. The most ridiculous manifestation of this lunacy is revealed in the secession movement.
I don't know how many assholes are card-carrying members of the Texas Nationalist Movement or any other organization with similar goals. My hunch is there aren't that many, but I might be wrong. What they fail to understand is that if Texas seceded from the United States, all the people who make Texas a pretty good place to live now would be gone... headed north in a massive evacuation across the border. The remaining yahoos and dipshits of the new nation of Texas would starve to death or kill each other off in a matter of weeks. End of story.
