Serious folks would move to a state with a small population like Montana or Wyoming, and make serious changes in the attitude of states rights. It would not take that many folks, especially baby boomers who are retired and mobile.
Last time I looked liberals were buying up Montana.
On top of that, lots of Montana and Wyoming are federal lands.
Also there are large reservations that are on the Gov teat.
Texas is almost all privately held land, but even they are not serious, and the Feds inundate us with illegals that we cannot deport.
