Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden has now been called the “president-elect” by major US outlets, despite pending legal challenges from the Trump campaign...
Republic of Texas are a bunch of kooks, but the state's leaders have long ingrained an independent streak in its residents - especially in the wake of the Civil Rights Act.
The Koch Dream is to devolve the US into a thousand libertarian city-states all in the grip of some overarching corporate oligarchy.
But Trump illustrates why that plan sucks. You're always one mayoral election away from a Milosovec doing a Bosnian War or a Hutu coup doing a Rwandan Genocide. The NAFTA project (nevermind the Hemispheric Common Market) doesn't work after political balkanization. We can't maintain ties with Canada, much less Saudi Arabia, if the states crack up.
A break up today just means a Bismarkian (or Hitlerian) unity project tomorrow, with all the horror that would entail.

Doesn't Texas also have a small secession movement as well?

Texas doesn't have an active movement, but if one started it could get a good number of people on board pretty fast.
