RE: California/Texas secession

["Mark A. Siefert" <siefertma@xxxxxxxxx>]

I always imagine the "Uniting Factor" for Free Cal/Tex would be a massive
resentment toward "foreign" rule and a yearning for the days when they were
sovereign states.  Of course, whether the right-wing Texans, and the
left-wing Californians can get along with each other is a different
question.

One thing definitely unites California and Texas - they both have a huge

a point to pivot around, Or you might postulate it as a backlash against
Latin Culture takenover, Might those suggestions help>\?
