Do it already cowards. I’m sick of hearing about Texas being so independent and tough. Secede or shut the fuck up already

I want this to happen so badly.
All the cartel has to do is wait until it's above 90 or below 40 and roll into giant free land grab where the local opposition doesn't even have electricity and there is less than zero coordination because every single individual considers themselves a lone wolf that doesn't need to work with other people.
I desperately want to hear a bunch of people who just voted to succeed plead with the government to come help them because they didn't think this through literally 10 minutes past holding the vote.
Another immediate consequence would be water. Current interstate agreements on water rights would be voided and need to be renegotiated. So day one the rest of the US and Mexico could just stop the flow of water into Texas with damn near zero recourse
They wouldn't be able to do it right away, all the inhabitants would be in castle-defense mode.
But if they were to blow up a couple hundred culverts, any would-be defenders would expire in 2 months, leaving their guns in their emaciated arms.
Texans about to find out why they don't have healthcare
I would be so owned if the hellstate of Texas no longer had any power over my life despite being 2000 miles away
It'll never happen, but if it did and china immediately recognized them and signed a mutual defense pact, 
Better would be Mexico retaking Texas with BRICS support
Mexico should obviously take back all the land stolen from it in the war, but it should also go farther and maybe do a warsaw pact type deal with Canada to divide it.
Yankees screeching about the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact, except this time it's Mexico and Canada figuring out which field in Kansas represents the dividing line for their chunks of the US.

bal ka nize
After the US federal government takes precautions regarding their nuclear weapon manufacturing/maintenance facility.
Recreating the confederacy to own the libs
America needs to be shattered. The exact contours of that destruction are of secondary importance
Using this like a Skyrim shout to shatter the continental states
Understand that while Texans love to stroke themselves off over this they will never actually do it because they are soft-ass cowards
Do Texans realize that their reputation in the rest of the country is a loud barking dog completely neutered and chained to a post.
They keep electing Cruz to represent them, they realize they're a bunch of crybulies who are softer than baby shit right?
Texas is the Worf of the United States.
No worf slander
They're more like Gowron
Dogs of Federation begone
martok is a federation puppet installed via colour revolution by a federation officer
All according to ~~Kissinger~~ Curzon Dax plan
Texas is a paper tiger. The entire state is privatized to the brim. This means that while they own a bunch of guns, they don’t have the opportunity to really train because they’re only allowed to shoot in indoor ranges or a private outdoor range, usually both with overly strict restrictions. This is particularly true in many red states.
In blue states, there’s usually large swaths of public land that allows you to actually LARP as a militiaman without owning land privately because it’s free. There have been Californians and PNW chuds moving to Texas only to realize they can’t shoot more than 1 shot per 20 seconds anywhere
Texas secedes
US embargos them
Too racist to increase ties with Mexico
Immediate economic collapse
These independence cranks just don't think things through.
The cartel already came in and took over all the free unincorporated land while they were debating toning down the racism for long enough to try to work out an agreement with Mexico.
Cursed alliance with Cuba and Nicaragua. The Second CSA starts working with cartels (more than they are now) to import fent and use the funds to rebuy the weapons they’ve sent to Mexico and send them to Cuba and Nicaragua for a Red Dawn style invasion of the blue states
do it, cowards
Balkanize, balkanize, balkanize, balkanize, balkanize
Texas is already owned by Saudi Arabia. Secession would just mean instead of being a bunch of Christian fascist managed set of Saudi owned refineries and ports it would be a cartel managed set of Saudi owned refineries and ports.
Christian drug and oil cartel monarchy LFG
It would be so funny if there was a Wolfenstein scenario but it’s Saudi flags everywhere in the Deep South, and you have some oil baron faux sheikh criticizing the KKK’s Arabic pronunciation
The sharia courts sentencing the grand wizards to death via beheading for the crime of witchcraft would be extremely funny
This is a good idea.
Hell yeah, all aboard for Texit.
Chuds screaming and stamping their feet demanding to lose all those electoral college votes and usher in a Biden imperium.
I'm gonna change my name to Mr Texas and move to Texas and run for president of Texas with the slogan "a vote for Texas is a vote for Texas."
