DALLAS — North Texas Republicans have just taken their flirtation with leaving the United States to a new level of heavy petting.
According to a report from the Denton Record-Chronicle, the once-farfetched conservative fever dream inched closer to reality on April 13, when members of the Denton County GOP approved a resolution supporting the Lone Star State’s session from the federal government of the United States.
At this point, the resolution remains largely symbolic. The vote was in favor of House Bill 1359, a measure which grouses about an unaccountable and invasive federal bureaucracy. It’s is seen by historians and legal minds alike as futile and a possibility that exists somewhere between implausible and impossible.
What isn’t a surprise is that the Republican resolution was championed by Texas Nationalist Movement mouthpiece and Precinct Chair Tim Curtiss. (TEXIT is also a prominent feature of the Texas Nationalist Movement’s website.)
