    We won’t have to. Nearly all, if not fully all “red states” receive more in federal funding than they pay in taxes. If they were to secede their econonomies would crash in short order. It would be like Brexit times 10.

      Texas barely makes enough to keep from being a Republican welfare state. It’s the only one to do so, IIRC.

        Texas can’t keep their own lights on, they’d be begging to rejoin the union after their first winter. At least, the survivors would be.
