If Texas decided tomorrow they were seceding, Abbott and everyone else involved in that decision would be hogtied and presented to the feds within the week after
Every electric plant in the state was bombed. This works because TX has its own grid to dodge fed rules. Hence why it fails in winter because capitalism means fuck safety rules.
Every credit and debit card in the state stopped working, along with likely every bank account, which is vaguely related to 1 but also for its own reasons.
Every grocery shelf went bare. We saw what COVID did.
In a smart system, they’d try everyone involved and lock them all up for life and the incident would serve as a reminder that if you fuck around you will find out. Of course with our luck we’d get some dipshit president to fuck up that bit just like after the civil war
Because the US military would totally treat a war on their own soil the same as bombing the shit out people half way across the world, not at all like one would involve every ounce of force available,
I don’t think the military would even end up having to much anyway. Kind of just sit there and wait a couple weeks, then head on in with the aid Texas pretty please asked for.
Absolutely ridiculous that you think carpet bombing would be
A. Effective
Or
B. Politically possible.
There wouldn’t be a fight. It would be half suicidal for federal troops for a long time, and to think brother would blindly fight brother is crazy talk. Our military, through every end of our ranks, is filled with Texans and their family.
It would never happen, but the idea that Texas would just be overrun like Iraq is absolutely stupid.
Nope. Born in CO and raised in GA. Please understand that I think secessionists are dumb, just that the idea that the federal government would just roll them is stupid.
It wouldn’t be a fight at all. They can just “sanction” them. It wouldn’t take long for their infrastructure to shut down, their economy to collapse etc.
There is no path to secession for a single state without support from the rest of the country. 250 years ago America likely wouldn’t have been able to split from Britain without help from France.
I agree! I don’t think secession will ever actually happen, I’m just saying that, in a clown world where it did, the idea that federal forces would just roll over Texas is laughable.
In case there is anyone in here who thinks Texas has a chance of winning a civil war against the rest of the US. Watch this.

This worked so well in Afghanistan am I right?

Yeah, it’s way harder on US soil. It’s going to drone strike neighborhoods? Yeah right
Mexico wouldn’t let Talibangicals hide out like Pakistan did.
What is winning? Subduing Texas?

Totally unrelated question: are you from Texas?
Nope. Born in CO and raised in GA. Please understand that I think secessionists are dumb, just that the idea that the federal government would just roll them is stupid.
Do you really think Texas is the entirety of America?
No. I’m just saying that if Texas seceded, it wouldn’t be a quick, low casualty fight.

Lol, yes. Yes, it would.
Sorry mate. You honestly sound like a child.
Everyone likes playing cowboys and Indians but when push comes to shove anyone with a partner or kids or a mortgage is gonna stand down.
Only an idiot would get into a shooting war over a piss weak political ideology.
