The larger the state, the more internal resistance there will be. Not everyone in Texas or Florida will want to secede, and everybody can buy a gun. It's one thing to gather some pride boys and meal team six larpers in the town square and march around for a bit, but it's an entirely other thing to defend territory when you're outnumbered, outgunned, and half the population is against you.
Oklahoma and Arkansas might be up for it, but there's no way secessionists hold Miami or Austin.
So you're saying Texas is big enough that they'd Yo Dawg their civil war?
That is most ridiculous way to describe society dissolving into each street fighting those next to it.
It's perfect.
Civil wars over civil wars? USA should just move to middle east lmao
Not just that, but the economic powerhouses are almost exclusively cities run by Democrats. Even deep red states have Democrats as mayors of their big cities. Texas would have a hard time funding a war if they were trying to do it on the backs of porcupines.
Nah, as someone who lives in Oklahoma, about half the younger generation has a functioning nervous system that would prevent that from happening. If we seriously tried to go any more red, there would be violence in the streets.
And you have a hitbox that is quite a bit larger than normal, and various health style related illnesses dependent on the free flow of medicine
