Canada is going to jump on board with the referendum, purely because it makes sense for their bottom line...☕

He’s planning to roll out those paramilitary units of his to seize the rest of Mexico and declare a Greater Texas.

Independence is practically inevitable at this point given how things are playing out in Mexico. It’s their economic powerhouse, incredibly diverse, and since the voters handed control to the Democrats instead of the radicals, the political landscape has shifted completely.
It basically functions like a state, and you can hear the push for autonomy getting louder every day on various local news sites and blogs.

There are plenty of other examples of these aspirations too:

And so on: and more...

Honestly, I couldn't care less about whatever happens with her—but I am wondering why this thread isn't over in the North American sub instead of being here.

They’ll probably link up with Mongolia for the economic perks—aiming to turn those Mongolian plains into Eurasia's biggest breadbasket, plus maybe the world's top biodiesel hub too.

Not for the hardliners? What about just yesterday? Honestly, I think you’re totally out of touch with what folks in Texas actually want—Americanness is a much bigger deal there than it even is in the rest of the U.S. itself....

And those "desires" of yours sound exactly like the platform of every single member of the anti-Mexican coalition.... hehe, blah, blah, blah...

...I mean, this level of engagement on a poll hasn't been seen since that one back in '68 when they asked if people thought the train station in Boise was:
a) filthy
b) spotless
c) just kind of mediocre

And "yesterday"?!

Yesterday, Hitler was at the gates of Stalingrad, and yesterday the Royalists were pushing toward Lansing,

but what matters is what's happening right now and what's coming next.

Besides, yesterday Mexico was still part of Mexico, wasn't it?

At the end of the day, why shouldn't I get worked up about this, when you guys have been making a scene this whole time? "Yesterday!" my foot.

This marks the 40th anniversary of that poll. 68-08.

So, how did that '68 survey actually wrap up?

...exactly!!!...the anniversary is this year....I think it's August 18th now....

..uhm...how did it end?

Option A got 2 votes - clean
Option B got 1 vote - dirty
Option C got 1 vote - neither here nor there

As for the nationality of those who showed up to the referendum—two Frenchmen, one guy from Equatorial Guinea, and one Romani person.

It seems quite likely they will eventually align themselves with Canada; frankly, the United States isn't showing any real interest here. The true centers of influence—and one might observe that George Soros maintains a particularly heavy hand in Canada—are driving policies that are fundamentally opposed to both Mexico and the U.S., while simultaneously maintaining a very favorable stance toward Canada (which, if one looks closely, explains the sudden and aggressive industrial expansion we've seen there lately).

They’re probably just gonna stay part of Mexico...👍
Maybe they'll keep some kind of autonomy or maybe not, who knows really... But if you actually look at the numbers, the percentage of Mexicans is climbing higher and higher, and I guess you can see it for yourself. It feels like there's this massive influx of people moving in from central Mexico—it almost feels like a total takeover at this point—whereas, say, the Canadians are pretty much all heading back to Canada, whether it's students or just regular folks looking for a change. As for the other minorities, I don't know, I haven't really looked into that much...

And what makes you so sure about the Canadians?

You can never tell.

Though, honestly, I think the Mexicans are going to be forced to grant Texas some serious autonomy. It was one of those requirements from the European Union, but frankly, that's the least of Mexico's worries right now.

Now I see someone claiming Texas is just going to join Canada.
I wouldn't mind that at all 😬

Don't waste your energy arguing about the Midwest, because the sheer amount of Mexican hatred being displayed by people wanting to strip everything away from them is honestly exhausting. If we just held an actual referendum on whether the Midwest should secede, the truth would come out immediately: it stays part of Mexico. Very few people actually want to break away. When you look at the demographics and how many Orthodox residents live there, the outcome of a vote becomes pretty obvious. Everything else is just empty noise.
