Texas. Texas. Think for a moment. If you secede, you’re a foreign country with oil. And what does the United States do to them? Think.
Lol. Lmao.
SECDEE!
They do this every other administration, nothing ever comes of it.
Uncritical support for the balkanization of the U.S.
Before everyone jumps on the “good riddance” bandwagon, please keep in mind that the main US government facility for building and maintaining nuclear weapons is in Texas.
we oughta do Mexico the favor of nuking it before giving it back to them
The government would never let Texas leave the union, and if by some miracle they actually did I’m sure those weapons and facilities would be forcibly repatriated.
Texas can’t even keep their own lights on, I think it would be hilarious to watch them try to go it alone. But it won’t ever happen.
Texas leaving and the U.S. extracting its nukes would be the best scenario. Horrible for a lot of people in Texas, but better for the world at large.
Good they can piss off too. Heck they can take all our nukes
oh no, not our precious omnicidal nuclearinos!

It might be fun for a short while to watch the two sides in a US civil war nuke each other, but given the terrifying number of American WMDs the clouds would probably still envelop the rest of the Earth and kill us all. Oh well.
as @[email protected] said below, if this were to happen, the US would take the nukes back, similar to what happened after the collapse of the USSR and ballistic missiles in Ukraine and other former soviet states.
So, only one nuclear armed rabid dog.
Depends, do you think the ethnonationalist psychos in Texas are more reasonable than post-soviet bureaucrats? Similarly, would the limp-wristed dems who seek to heal the divide at all costs be willing to actually do anything if they said no?
I’m just assuming that since the facility is managed by the Department of Energy, that would settle any debate over whose nukes they are.
Like, going down the rabbit hole of speculative History, there’s no way the US would let a breakaway nation have nukes. Like, that’s an existential threat. Cuban missile crisis level existential threat
Provided they don’t do away with it first. (But yeah I generally agree with you)
Lmao I forgot about that one. Maybe the US takes advantage of them not knowing what the DOE controls (the nukes) and just says “oh yeah the DOE needs to clean out their offices and storage facilities. Don’t mind us.”
lol no one wants this. It’s explicitly a white nationalist project for a state where white people are a minority. It’s also financially unsound. Wealthy Texan capitalists are the least likely to care about this because they already have everything they want.
I should bring up that Texas is considerably poor compared to other states of comparable population. It doesn’t seem that way on paper but that’s because all the money gets sucked up by literally like 3 families. Construction here takes forever, the education system collapsed years ago, and the only profits are being made in flipping real estate and oil.
Yeah let’s secede and lose all that federal highway money.
lmao, their power grid collapses when it gets too hot or too cold.
Go ahead and see what happens texas…
YES PLEASE. Do it. do it do it do it do it. I’m begging you do it. Please do it, balkanize the US.
Gut reaction aside I hope the many texans stuck with their repressive government receive the aid they need.
AMLO pls the people yearn for freedom and soft shells
Post in facebook group Texas Patriots for Secession: “Will we still get our social security cheques if we secede?”
spoiler
Honestly can see the libs still sending them money because “otherwise what if we secede and then they would do the same thing to us”
Paying social security benefits to goatee sunglasses car picture guys in open revolt because it’s the moral high ground.
Yeah, it’s lib
time
DEW IT COWARDS. Piss off from the union so we’ll never get another
presidential canidate from Tex@$$ ever again. Take Floriduh
with you.
Doesn’t this happen like every year though?
Anyway I hope it goes as well for them as brexit has for the brits
It’s honestly more often than once a year.
I know it’s pointless to point out republican hypocrisy but it’s literally virtue signaling
They do this during pretty much every election cycle. Still funny to imagine them trying it
