34. 1. It ain't gonna happen 2. If it did, the US forces would end it quickly.
It has no chance of happening, but if it did, federal and National Guard troops would lead the way as the FBI arrested Governor Goodhair and removed him to a federal facility in another state.

The whole notion is ludricous beyond words. Texas has no military. Do you really think the two sitting GOP senators from Texas would allow Texas to secede? Or the several dozen congressmen? Or what about all the Social Security and Medicare recipients? Texas can't pay for them.

It's a "I'm going to run off and be a circus worker" fantasy.
