      Maybe just think about it for like a full minute…

      What do you think happens when there are millions of people living in squalor under fascist rule within driving/walking distance of another country’s borders?

      One can daydream…

      After they announcd secession DC should immediate come out and say something like

      “the North accepts upon condition that any and all who want to leave the south can freely do so, without hindrance, at the cost of the state, within the next 30days, and any and all from the north sympathetic are henceforth required to join the south in their ranks, within the next 30 days. If you choose to stay, continuing the campaigns of hate will find you deported to the other side, at the cost of total seizure of your estate. Citizenships will be repealed accordingly and people can apply for a visa if they want to visit. The national guard is working in conjunction with border patrol to secure our new borders. As I speak we have already shut down every freeway and highway, and work has already begun putting bollards in every smaller road. Barbed wire is already being set until completion of the new American DMZ. That’s right folks, we’re gonna build that wall. Anyone tries to get back in here we have to cross the minefields, robodogs, automatic sentries and Rebecca Flack music”

      NASA and the military EVAC immediately.

      The military laughed and told Texas to go fuck itself -immediately, completely unprovoked, like the secretary just couldn’t wait to live that mic and poke the hornets nest- once Roe was scuttled, that they’ll decide for themselves what rules they follow and what they consider medicine. The bases are federal land after all. If the generals happily spit in the face of their culture war nonsense, someone has got to be living in delulu to think any aspect of the military or government agencies would be left behind for the neo-confederates.
