Extremists Call for ‘Civil War’ and ‘Secession’ Over Texas Border Ruling

They do this all the time. Maybe Biden should call their bluff, execute his powers as Commander in Chief, and order the National Guard in Texas to turn on State Police.

Texas is a big place but I don't know if it has the capabilities support itself as a sovereign country and have a full scale war against 49 other states. That being said secession is a bumper sticker cause for most who support it not to diminish the threat but I think they are obviously overplaying their hand.
it doesn't, but that doesn't mean idiots won't try to make it happen anyway.
I suspect it wouldn't be 49 other states- I'd bet that there's several other equally stupid states that would happily join them. Definitely Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and maybe Florida would join in. But I bet if Biden tried to call their bluff and pull all govt funding and military bases from those states they would freak out and change their tunes fast.
They wouldn't freak out right away, they probably think their militias are more capable than the US military (what with 'woke officials' and trans rights n such), so they would be fine, until someone like Mexico (or even just a cartel from Mexico) decided to take back historically Mexican land.
Oh shit, my dude, that would go all the way up tornado alley to Canada.
Apparently red states' governors support Abbot's move, so...
