“If he steals the election, hope the next vote cast is for Texas secession.”
Texas tried that 150 years ago and it didn’t work out too well. I would advocate the opposite strategy this time. Join up with the other free states in the Union to liberate the slave states.
We could even get a South Illinois and a East California out of it, which would dilute the strength of the Blue States.

Different Texas today. We’ve got the natural resources (oil and gas were non-issues the last time), our own electrical power grid, lots of tech, booming economy, and defense resources.
As a practical matter if secession were to occur, I’d foresee many states in the South and most of the upper Middle America states that border Canada leaving. The U.S. would be left with the Northeast and West Coast plus a narrow band of states connecting them.
