Right, obviously if a state can forcefully secede and stay apart, then they are de facto sovereign. I'm just saying that's an extralegal route and the only vaguely realistic route that I could see happening. Texas voted only 52.1% for Donald Trump versus 46.5% for Joe Biden--even assuming that EVERY Donald Trump supporter also supported secession, that's not exactly a crushing victory that would make me feel comfortable with trying a hostile takeover of government.
Of course, you know, it's Texas. We shouldn't act like talking about secession is some sort of groundbreaking new thing for them.
If texas went Oklahoma, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, South Carolina would follow.
The toss ups are ga, fl, North Carolina but I assume they would lean leaving.
You would then have civil war 2.0 except this time the south would have infrastructure more weapons and alot more money.
It would be very bad and honestly leave us open for outside countries to get involved. The northern states would have help from China and possibly NATO and the country wouldn't survive.
