Somebody check Abbott's high school yearbook, see if he won the vote for "most likely to secede".
Abbott graduated from Duncanville High School,[5] where he was on the track team,[6] in the National Honor Society and was voted "Most Likely to Succeed".
from his wikipedia page. I did find this running a search though. Can we make fun of him??

Lol do it! 26/38 of their Representatives and both their Senators are Republicans.
Goodbye House majority, goodbye Senate filibuster, goodbye any chance of a Trump victory this year. Even just 1 year of them disappearing means Democrats could get a whole lot done before they start crawling back.
All of this over the status quo (give or take). Just wait until the real climate change migrations state happening. That's when things really get to pop off.
Won't that be Texan's wanting to move north?
well, yeah.
It's all projection with them. The asylum seekers are invading. because that's what they think they're gonna do. ya'know?
Just let them go- Texas that is. They can build a wall around the entire state, and then stop being such a massive drain on federal funds every time it snows a bit or gets a little sweaty. They can take Florida with them.
I’m not giving the KKK an inch as well as condemning half the states population.
texit. texit. texit.
there...i said it three times and they re still here.
In Canada, Alberta has this same notion that they got a raw deal in federalism and that secession is the answer. They are the Texans of the north: conservative, religious, oil-rich, strong capitalist rhetoric (though there is plenty of corporate welfare, of course). But Alberta is a fully landlocked province of a few million people with not much else besides oil. And, get this: they want to secede because they supposedly can't get any new oil pipelines built to the ocean in Canada. Did I mention that they are landlocked? What a bunch of morons.
How do you get social security when you are no longer part of the Union? I'm guessing they're would be a large boarder crossing if Texas was up for grabs. Good luck👍
It's gonna be fun. When the drug. Carrels realize there is now a whole country they can take over just north of Mexico.
The Moskovites are on an influence campaign again I guess.
Give em back to Mexico and make sure the "remain in Mexico" policy sticks. Mexico will know what to do.
Fears of succession?
Fuck 'em. Let 'em fuck around and find the fuck out. Can they take the rest of the alt-right nation with them?
DEATH TO THE STORMCLOAKS!
Balkanization of US? Please proceed. What could go wrong right?
Those people are hoping for violence. They believe a war is coming, and that they are poised to win.
