:downs:
not like it has it's own energy grid and a bustling tech sector and one of the strongest state economies that managed to barrel through the 2008 crisis without too much difficulty as other states dropped like flies. not to mention a huge scene for music and culture, plus a state that is rapidly moving from a deep, deep red to a lightish purple in political stance.
people love to confuse texas with mississippi or alabama. we're not deep south - we're a separate category. we have as many idiots here as there are in other states.[/QUOTE]
I love texas I just don't love the secessionists
realtalk though on the subject of stripping citizenship
pretty sure anyone in the texas national guard would have their citizenship stripped
if at any point the secession were hostile you would then be "voluntary service in the armed forces of a state engaged in hostilities against the United States could be viewed as indicative of an intention to relinquish U.S. nationality."
aka rip US citizenship

aka rip US citizenship[/QUOTE]Well, let's say it actually was going to happen and the USA was just like "lol who the fuck cares" and didn't lift a finger to stop it; say 90% of the rest of the country vehemently hated Texas or whatever. One thing that would likely happen is the Texans would probably declare any Texan who wanted to secede with them would need to absolve his or her US citizenship. Doing that would firmly divorce all ties to the US, so all the "well what about..." things would be far, far easier to solve because of that.
Example being members of the military, people in government positions, just anything that would deal with federal employment in general. All that would be left is the federally-owned land and facilities and honestly that could be handled much in the way Russia handles the Baikonur Cosmodrome. Not a lot of people know that the Russians don't actually launch their Russian-owned and Russian-operated spacecraft from actual Russian territory, it's all from Kazakhstan.
