Well, Texas was in and out of the Union a couple of times, being an independent nation for a while.

I don't believe that this event has ever seeped out of their brains to the point where they realized that it can ever be a reality again.

I don't really believe that anyone believes it is possible, but stating "it's time to succeed" is a common statement for basically saying, "the grass was greener on the other side."

Welcome to the fantasy life of Texans !

I grew up there.....

The proper word is "secede", meaning "to withdraw." "Succeed" means to "follow in sequence."

Otherwise, good answer.

Respectfully,
Shin
