Completely. Most of Texas’s money is centralized in Houston, between the oil company headquarters, the refineries, and the port to the Gulf. Houston is also over 50% democrat, non-white population. They would cripple Texas overnight. Those of you jonesing for a civil war have no clue.
“Those of you jonesing for a civil war have no clue.”
Shows how much you know. look at the people living in the Coney Island highrise projects after hurricane Sandy hit. After three days they were out of food and water. They couldn’t flush the toilets, get outside cause the elevators weren’t running. Then there’s the people in New Orleans that mobbed the Superdome after Katrina. They were all helpless and pathetic, and you think people like that are going to cripple the economy.
Then what will the more conservative states do? They could blink and back down, which I think is more likely. There are still too many weak kneed and compromised Republicans at the state level.
However, as we saw with the border issue, 25 states backed Texas in their stance in stopping illegal migration. If the National Guard units of those states stayed loyal to their governors and not the President, a mass secession of the South, lower Midwest, and the northern Rockies states is a possibility. Texas will likely have a more conservative legislature in 2025, as several RINOs were defeated in the Republican primaries. Thanks largely to Trump, the GOP is growing increasingly conservative at the state and local levels.
