The red hatted morons are not thinking this through. So a lot of red states secede. Kiss your Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid goodbye. No more federal dollars for education. Nor for infrastructure. Roads, bridges et al. You state just got clobbered by a massive hurricane? No help from Uncle Sam. No EPA stopping wholesale polluters from trashing your state. No more military. No jets, tanks, warships, bases, generous military retirement plans. No generous government grants to Universities for medical research, science or other useful research programs. Cooperation with the FBI, DEA, and other law enforcement agencies is now a big problem. These morons are not thinking this out.
This is exactly why I find southern succesionists so pitiful. They might secede, but they won't succeed without federal taxpayer dollars. Dollars that mostly come from states like Washington and Massachusetts and Illinois.
And especially California.
If Texas proposed a public referendum on secession from the USA, Congress would point out that Texans would no longer qualify for SSI or highway funds, to name a few. Secessionist proposals would collapse like a Trump lawsuit.
