    The enemy in the middle east is ready to live in a cave and use kids as suicide bombers to further their cause. I don’t think folks accustomed to Costco and buffalo wild wings and healthcare are ready for that life.

      I love a little bit of racism mixed with social inaccuracy. You’re right that people wouldn’t want to go without Costco or modern luxuries. That’s why they’d fight even harder when the people in power told them that it was the evil federal government that had taken it from them and that if they just fight a little bit, things will be better than ever before. You’re forgetting how dangerous of a combo that authoritarian govt. + uneducated population (which describes Texas perfectly) is.

      Also,

      healthcare

      What Texans are accustomed to healthcare already lol?

        I’m not being racist at all. One of the strengths of the middle east insurgent model is their readiness to live in primitive conditions. And, due to fanatical religious ideals, use tactics line suicide bombing. There’s no evidence prospective texan secessionists are anywhere near ready for such conditions or tactics.

        Many Texans have insurance. Many Afghan rural folks do not. Census.Gov states over 90% of Americans had some for of health insurance at least at some point in the last year. (It should be 100, all year, but that’s not my point.) https://www.census.gov/library/publications/2023/demo/p60-281.html#:~:text=Highlights,91.7 percent or 300.9 million).

        The rest of your comment is comically unfounded. Are you really saying yallqueda is more prepared for combat than alqueda?
