A loud minority of Texans call for Independence, which is not really possible as far as I know, BUT could the Rest of the USA just kick another state (Not necessary Texas) out? Or is this also not possible?

    There’s some pretty valuable infrastructure in TX and many other states. They’d definitely take it back and give the idiots who are responsible for the trouble a token fine and gentle slap on the wrist. It’s an American tradition. They’ll probably execute the derps doing the actual funding though.

      Pros:

      Lots of land

      Natural resources

      Coastal access

      Cons:

      Shitty power grid

      Rednecks

      Consensus:

      worth fighting to keep, but if we’re going to do that, take the opportunity to cleanup the more vocal of the rednecks.
