Will leaving the state work in Texas

[GUBU]

For a moment there I thought Trupster Bob's rantings was coming true. It would've been funny to see if Texas can make it on their own. XD

Every time I hear speculation about red states seceding from the union (even if it is just speculation), I'm torn between two thoughts:

• Quarantining these far-right nutjobs their own little section of America may be the only way to keep them from trying to take over the entire country and tank our democracy.
  
• For anyone who isn't a straight, white, cismale who likes the idea of consolidating power among other straight, white cismales and nobody else, it's almost certain to be a humanitarian disaster.
  

The new Traitor States of America would be a humanitarian disaster for everybody in those benighted states, as the leadership has neither the will, desire nor ability to organise a piss-up in a brewery never mind to run a country. Within twenty years the area would go from almost empty economic hellhole to completely empty desert.
