They'd be stupid enough to try it. It would be like Brexit, just a thousand times worse.

Brexit didn't involve the central government bringing in armed forces to quash the rebellion, so this will definitely be a thousand times worse at the least. Texit would be the start of a civil war because the government won't let them leave, and I'm sure some other idiot governor would try to send their local guard detachment to 'help'.

That's how the first one started. They had many more states and still lost. This one against the modern U.S. Military would be over in a week.

Plus the reintroduction of slavery into Texas's constitution.

Reminder that slavery is still legal under the US Constitution’s 13th amendment.
