The Texas Secession meme, often referred to as 'TEXIT' following the 2016 Brexit referendum, represents the long-standing political movement for Texas to withdraw from the United States and become an independent republic once again. These memes typically surge in popularity during periods of high tension between the Texas state government and the federal government, particularly regarding border security or economic policy. Visually, the memes often depict Texas physically detaching from the US map, wearing a cowboy hat while walking away, or utilizing historical 'Come and Take It' imagery. Beyond the political debate, the memes have evolved into a cultural shorthand for Texas's fierce sense of individualism and the state's unique identity within American pop culture.
