Speaking of idiotic, misogynistic and fascist actions. So many in Texas want to secede from the Union. Yesterday, on YouTube, I briefly watched a Texas knuckle-head declare that if Texas were to secede from the Union, it would have the 3rd largest military and 4th largest economy; compared to what, I don't know. Perhaps, I missed that…

His reasoning was that their National Guard is under the command of their governor and NOT the US President. Well, I guess he's never heard of a President "nationalizing" a State's National Guard, which puts them under the President's control. Nor did he take into account just how intertwined the Texas economy is with the US as a whole.
First, the US would NOT allow Texas to take over any federal property, civil or military. And, on the off-chance a negotiation were to be allowed, the cost to Texas to take over federal properties would bankrupt Texas. Plus, what other country would agree to recognize Texas' independence without the US's blessing?
Add to all of that, the money Texas would have to repay for all of the improvements made to their roadways, schools, police, fire, medical facilities and personnel, and the welfare monies (social and business) they've collected from the federal government over the years. Just like most GQPTP-run States, Texas is one of those States that receives more in federal dollars than they sent to Washington. In other words, Texas is its own "welfare state." they're just too obnoxious to admit it.
If Texas, as a whole, wants to be free and independent of the US, maybe, we should just let them; after they pay the US all the money they'll own us. Then, we could sit back and watch them fail. Their only recourse would be to declare war on Mexico, invade it and then try to send its citizens further south, into Central American countries. Then Texas would build its own border wall along its new southern border. (Like Mexico would let that happen.)
