Every single facet of the federal government, along with the huge amount of Texans that don’t vote for independence in that scenario.
The latter is one of my favorite part of this LARP. The TNM people don’t seem to comprehend that they are bringing the 46% of Texas’ population that buys into the progressive ruination of America with them.
Texas wouldn’t be some bastion of conservatism and freedom. It would be nothing but a microcosm of the nation it left, with the exact same political and cultural divisions, and all of the same problems.

This is great! Hopefully this will begin a movement of other states to to have this conversation and allow voters to heard.
The seperation of states probably would be similar to the Mason-Dixon line of the past.
I understand how detrimental this would be for our nation, but the direction we're allowing these traitors in DC to lead us will be worse in the end.

The U.S. could make it extremely difficult on Texas. If they banned businesses in Texas from doing business in the U.S., how many businesses would stay or relocate. And a large portion of the population would leave as well.

Note: just because the State secedes doesn’t mean that it’s citizens arbitrarily have to renounce US citizenship. Think like a US citizen retiring to Costa Rica. If you’re well vested in SS or other comps, you keep your US citizenship. If you want to be a political leader, or get certain tax state breaks for your biz. You become a citizen of Texas. Easy to fix. Just dig into the US tax code.

We do have Yankees and other non-Texans in the military you know.

Actually Texas is about +12-14 GOP and if they did this a lot of the liberals would leave, they are already doing so (at least some of the worst ones). The hardcore abortion ban scared a bunch of them away.
I don't have illusions it will be cake and ice cream but I don't think the alternative is looking great either.

Also, the changes to Congress and the Electoral College system would create chaos.

Very few southerners, or midwesterners for that matter, would pick up arms against texas. We have too much in common.
As a matter of fact, if texas made a jump I would imagine a massive swath of the US would follow.

Yeah, we've all seen their little tik tok drag videos. Not exactly a fearsome sight.

Of course the COULD but Texas could also make life really hard on them if they DID. The US is pretty screwed without the Texas O&G industry (18 Billion barrels last year). Oh and good luck getting around the I35 Corridor for commerce and being cut off from the litany of products made in Houston.
Posted on 12/2/23 at 8:50 pm to aggressor
Commerce would move through Arizona and California pretty quickly. The US would win a war of attrition with Texas on the O&G front.
The US could make it extremely difficult for Texas to pull it off.

We can not even keep our independent power grid working…

So Texas is prepared to take over for air traffic controllers and TSA to keep your busy airports open. Prepared to purchase all of the VA hospitals and pay for the care of veterans? Gonna just let all federal prisoners out and shut down the prisons? That's just a thimble of how the federal government is intertwined in your state. Maybe y'all already have a plan. I would hope but would seriously like to hear it and try to understand it. Seems an impossible task.
Yeah, Texas could probably manage all that, including shipping federal prisoners out of its borders.

While many know that Texas was a republic
unto itself before coming into the United
States, few realize that parts of Louisiana,
Mississippi and Alabama and potentially
Florida were as well.

Could it manage having its own currency, backed by a tangible asset like gold?
I'm no economist, but I would think the fiat currency of a brand new country no longer part of the US might have some serious valuation issues. To the point that other countries—including the US—might not accept the currency.
If so, they would have to buy US dollars from the United States Fed. That could be a big problem for the ROT.
