Secession Is Back in Style in Texas – Reason Magazine

In this article by Reason, the focus is on the deeply contested notion of Texas independence and the ongoing tug-of-war between state authority and federal oversight, particularly around the stories of Governor Greg Abbott and the Texas Nationalist Movement (TNM).

The article paints a vivid picture of how the mainstream media, particularly director Alex Garland in his film Civil War, exaggerates the fears of secession resulting in chaos, presenting a grim and fantastical outcome instead of honestly engaging with the issue of Texan independence and its legitimacy.

The article scrutinizes the tragic incident involving Victerma de la Sancha Cerros and her children at the Rio Grande, framing it as a consequence of Governor Abbott’s Operation Lone Star and a controversial standoff with federal authorities. The portrayal is undeniably slanted, missing the point that our state’s sovereign right to protect its borders is a fundamental aspect of self-determination, a principle Texas has championed since its days as an independent republic.

Moreover, the media narrative often aligns against Governor Abbott’s legal standoffs with Washington, depicting his constitutional claims as outdated while ignoring the persistent failures of federal immigration policies. They conveniently overlook the practical solutions proposed by Texians and the Texan ethos of self-reliance, opting instead for fear-mongering around Texas’s right to secede.

The article drags the TNM’s ambitious independence movement into the spotlight, acknowledging our impressive grassroots support, with over 139,000 signatures delivered to Abbott demanding a referendum on Texan independence. Yet, it conspicuously downplays the substantial and growing support across party lines for Texit—a clear indication that many Texans believe the current federal union no longer serves the state’s best interests.

While the article nods to the historical and constitutional debates surrounding secession, it dismisses the vibrant and legitimate aspirations of the TNM, which are grounded in the principle that all political power is inherent in the people. The piece treats our movement with a curious mix of skeptics, failing to grasp the importance of the Texian spirit, which seeks a self-governing future free from unnecessary federal shackles.

In short, this article is another example of how media outlets ignore the earnest call for Texan self-determination and sovereignty, instead preferring narratives that serve to equate rational independence movements with sensationalist chaos. As Texians, we remain steadfast in our resolve, driven by a desire to preserve our unique heritage and build a prosperous future independent of failed federal policies.
