The Jasons called Dr. Eric McDaniel, a government professor at the UT Austin, to learn more about the movement and what might happen if it were to succeed.
Dozens of Texas Republicans have signed a pledge to put Texas and Texans “before any other nation, state, political entity organization or individual”But this time, it feels a bit different.
“I think with the increased level of populism that’s swept over the nation that we see a more formal attempt to think about ways of Texas seceding from the United States,” McDaniel told us onAs a government professor, McDaniel knows talking about secession is one thing, but actually making the move as a government is something altogether different, and much more difficult and complex.
What about the move away from fossil fuels? If Texas no longer has a seat at the table, leaving the rest of the country to shun oil, that would severely undercut the state’s economy. “But if this does happen, because this kind of throws everything kind of crazy, expect a mass exodus from the state. And so, a lot of the gains the state has made will go away very quickly when it decides to become its own independent nation,” McDaniel explained.
