Say Texas does secede, describe for me what it will be like. Taxes, government services, diplomacy, budget, government, so on and so forth.

If it were up to me, I'd turn off every natural gas and petroleum line leaving the state. Quit sending the billions to DC for the dipsticks there to spend in all the liberal meccas in the other states. Run every libtard in Austin back to their original state. Confiscate all military equipment and secure the border on all sides with the military already in the state.

Great plan.

Secure the border on all sides, setting up a one-way border to let conservatives in and libs out.

Cut off your source of revenue. Good plan.

Understandable, you're going to need it for your own budget. Texas gets back 94 cents for every dollar is sends to Washington so I'd say your taxes may go down slightly.

Run every libtard in Austin back to their original state.

What if they don't want to go? Are you talking arrests and forcible deportation? The Constitution and its protections will be one of the things you'll be leaving behind?

Confiscate all military equipment and secure the border on all sides with the military already in the state.

I'd say that Texas would be entitled to all the equipment assigned to it's National Guard and Air Guard, but all that stuff in Fort Hood and Fort Bliss and such? It isn't your's.
