Texas has always been the obvious first balk. I think this only goes beyond memes and PR grandstanding if Trump actually does get booted from ballots in Nov and loses. That would make some people properly crazy.

He wants to use the Texas national guard to shoot migrants not cede from the union. It's still a good sign though if like me you support the balkanization of Hitler's inspiration. Relevant Tangent posted:otoh once they secede they can't vote for president This is the only downside.

That would make some people properly crazy. Going to be hilarious when votes from Texas are disqualified because the state is on-paper, in a state of rebellion.

Performative theater bullshit in that we're not going to see company-level action between the border patrol and the Texas national guard followed by whatever Paradoxbrained "continue playing as USA or switch to TEX?" popup people envision. Each side is almost definitely too gormless for anything but complaining about what currently materially exists, that's why there's such a focus on the "we'll make this a cable TV shitshow" preening. Being something in that nullification is back on the menu, or conversely sending in the regulars is back on the menu, and sooner or later someone with clearer plans will make use of this. It's not the very depressing Wiki article, but it's definitely linked as a popout for more context from the "leadup" section of the eventual very depressing Wiki article.

Slavvy posted:Is this something that might actually be something or is it just performative theatre bullshit? It's performative bullshit that's yet another sign of our government's inability to actually govern or deal with crises. Is this the one that actually goes over the edge to being something? Probably not, but we'll never know until after the fact which one of the various acts of performative bullshit is the one that kicks things off. Just like we didn't know exactly which act was going to be the one that pushed US hegemony over the edge until the Ukraine war happened and we could go "oh yeah, that's the one".
