cut off all federal funding
let then secede
invade and retake them as a territory with no federal voting rights
make dc and puerto rico states
republicans never win again
I have yet to see this mentioned in any of these threads, at least the ones that I have read. If Texas secedes or tries to, Republicans lose 38 seats in the House of Representatives and two Senate seats. This give the House to Democrats for the foreseeable future and Democrats an easier path to passing bills in the Senate. Not that Texas, Abbott, cares.
not to mention then they’ll be a country with oil within peacekeepin’ distance of the USA
If Trump loses the 2024 election because Texas temporarily secedes, taking its 38 Republican electoral votes with it, I might die from the schadenfreude.
1.Just give Texas back to Mexico.
2.Reverse UNO
3.White Republicans are now the immigrants on the wrong side of the border
4.Enjoy some queso
Mexico 2 days later: Amigo, please take these fuck faces back
the nihilist in me really wants to see texas attempt this.
confederates === domestic terrorists. lets act accordingly.
Hypothetical from a non American. Let’s say Texas DOES secede. What happens to the citizenship of the Americans in Texas? Do they lose it? Do they have to leave Texas in X days to keep it? Can it even be revoked? Should it?
If they kept it, would they need to still declare their taxes, as US citizens must pay tax on international income?
I’m not like a US civil war scholar or anything, but there’s at least a glimmer of precedence to be found there with what happened to average folk living in the Confederate States when those states seceded. Babies born in the Confederacy were considered US citizens because the US (the Union) never recognized the Confederacy as independent and legally considered it US territory still. As for adults, it was similar… The US treated them as if they had never lost US citizenship and either punished or pardoned people for treason and war related crimes after the war. So I guess the answer would depend on whether Texas wins or loses the inevitable war that the US would fight to keep Texas from seceding/declaring independence in the first place.
To add to that- it’s nearly impossible to lose American citizenship against one’s will. If you were born a citizen or earned it later, you will likely remain a citizen until you die, unless you give it up.
Even Jefferson Davis died an American citizen.
It’s even hard to willfully give up your citizenship.
This rules, critical support to the shithole of Texas in its war on America
If US sends weapons to Taiwan pretending that it’s for democrasy and freedoms of the island, China now must being to send weapons to the people of Texas for the same reason. People of Texas excerise nothing other than their constituional freedom of speach and self-determination.
Look at how they’re sick of Biden’s bloody regime, his nature of a dictator, that they want to break down from the US. Let’s help the people of Texas, let’s protect democrasy in Texas!
