If Kamala Harris wins in November, America will move one step closer to destruction, says one of the country’s most ardent secessionists.
Daniel Miller, leader of the Texas Nationalist Movement, says a Harris win would “fuel” his group’s goal of Texas’ withdrawal from the U.S., or “Texit.”
Miller said the Democrat’s record on immigration and climate change could cause millions of Texans to pull out.
Secessionist sentiments are already high in Texas, with polls showing nearly a third of residents want to leave the U.S., even though the U.S. Constitution prohibits them from doing so.
“If Harris wins, you can expect support for Texit to increase,” Miller told DailyMail.com.
Texas separatist Daniel Miller says a Kamala Harris win in November will boost support for his “Texit.”
It would increase “polarization,” expand the federal government’s influence in Texas and “fuel the desire for independence,” he said.
“People here see this political farce for what it is,” Miller added.
‘Her popularity hovers somewhere between leprosy and a colonoscopy, and yet she is hailed by the mainstream media as the second coming of JFK.’
It appears that Vice President Harris will be the Democratic presidential nominee to face Republican Donald Trump in November.
President Joe Biden, under pressure for his poor performance in the debates, confirmed Wednesday that he will not seek re-election, saying he will “pass the torch to a new generation.”
This has focused attention on the record of Harris, a former senator and attorney general from California. If elected, she would become the first woman and person of Black and South Asian descent to become commander in chief.
She has fought hard to reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, sponsored the radical Green New Deal and played a key role in passing Biden’s historic climate bill.
They’re popular in Harris’s hometown of California and Washington, D.C., but less so in Texas, which produces 42 percent of U.S. crude oil and 27 percent of its natural gas, Miller says.
The same goes for the Democrat’s record on immigration, he adds.
Nicknamed the “border czar” by the Biden administration, she has failed for years to stem the growing flow of asylum seekers into Texas and other border states.

“Harris bears a great deal of responsibility for the border crisis and immigration, which together are the greatest concern for the people of Texas,” Miller said.
The Lone Star State’s 30 million residents, which are still growing, want “self-government” and distance from Washington, he says.
“Any federal policy that undermines our values will drive more Texans to Texit,” he adds.
His comments come in a divisive election year and amid the overwhelming success of Civil War, a dark thriller about the US being thrown into conflict between its capital and its seceding states.
Texas was an independent country 200 years ago and more and more residents want that status back.
The separation, called Texit, takes its name from the British ‘Brexit’ from the European Union.
Miller says his movement, founded in 2005, has never been closer to achieving its goal.
He wants the state legislature to pass a law that would allow a referendum on secession.
However, the U.S. Constitution does not contain a clause that allows states to do this. The secession of the southern states, including Texas, in 1861 even led to the Civil War, the bloodiest war in American history.
According to him, it is becoming increasingly popular due to the influx of asylum seekers at the border with Mexico.
He said Texas residents believe they could better manage the border if the federal government did not tie their hands.
“A Harris presidency would not only continue Biden’s legacy, but expand it,” Miller said.
“If you thought Biden was bad for Texas, her administration will be much worse.”
In the US, about 23 percent of people want their state to withdraw from the union.
A recent YouGov poll found that these sentiments are strongest in Alaska, Texas, California, New York and Oklahoma.
The survey found that 31 percent of Texas residents want to leave, though Miller says that’s an underestimate.

Alaska is the most pro-independence state, with 36 percent of residents wanting Last Frontier to end and leave the union.
The Democratic-controlled states of California and New York are the next to abandon ship, with 29 percent and 28 percent of residents in favor of secession, respectively.
Residents of Oklahoma (28 percent), Nebraska (25 percent), Georgia (25 percent), Florida (24 percent) and Washington (24 percent) also have their eyes on the door.
At the other end of the spectrum is Connecticut, with only 9 percent of relatively satisfied residents looking for a way out.
The interest in secession has been demonstrated by the success of the film Civil War, which grossed $69 million in the US, according to Box Office Mojo.
This suspenseful thriller is about a country involved in a major armed conflict.
The military forces of Texas and California have united as Western forces, moving into Washington DC.
They want to overthrow the authoritarian American president, played by Nick Offerman.
Meanwhile, fictional Reuters photographer Lee (Kirsten Dunst) and reporter Joel (Wagner Moura) set out with the aim of reaching the capital before it falls into rebel hands.
Miller calls the film a “100 percent credible” account of America’s disintegration.
