The Texas GOP's platform calls for a referendum so Texans can vote on "whether or not the State of Texas should reassert its status as an independent nation."
Thinking about this too. How does a seceded Texas not immediately see massive brain drain and emigration? Those people are still US citizens, and suddenly making their home part of an evangelical theocracy would make a lot of them leave.
At least half of the population would try to leave. Complete social collapse. A whole lot of jobs and money in Texas come from the highways and ports. Suddenly change those from America to the Serene Republican Church of Texas without a very tightly organized diplomatic arrangement would collapse the whole thing.
Also independent Texas would immediately become a vassal state for America so why would it even matter
