Great idea, though it would be a real nightmare if the territory was not contiguous. With Colorado, new Mexico, Arizona divided by blue extclaves they would have to get passports to travel to other gimmiedat areas. Interesting to note how few blue counties have airports. Most are in adjacent counties.
Most of the oil/gas and other resources (such as most farming) would be deep in red country. This includes Mexico and Canadian areas.
I live in one of the most umfriendly states in the Union, PA. Our Governor is illiterate and might be insane considering the sanctions he has imposed and the ones he wants to. The mask is and was so insane few people use one here anymore.
The upshot is being a person who lived in Texas, loved Texas and it institutions, never saw a person there I didn’t like, loved the geology, the Bend, the flats and the beaches and it all and considered Texas my “home” since I had never had one, would I be welcomed back after being gone since early 1994 or so?
I will help in any way I can for them to secede. That is the only rational solution to the political chicanery and the dishonesty manifest in virtually every other state. Biden’s crew and their love affair with the Chinese absolutely makes me vomit. Hunter getting away with major dishonesty is a sacrilege to all we conservatives and religious people believe. I will not Californicate Texas, I promise.
