Perhaps there would be defections...but it is important to remember that in Texas, since we are using them as an example...or in Florida, or in most other red states, 45% of the population of the state would be on the federal government’s side against the state. This is not the clean cut thing that so many think it is...and the simple fact is the Red States, which I very much doubt at this time have any desire to oppose the federal government, would be outgunned and at a terrible financial and economic disadvantage.
Agreed.
