In her latest unhinged rant, Nikki Haley now says "Texas can secede if that's what it's voters want."
Okay, let's do the math on that.
If Texas secedes:
•Texas loses $68.2B in Federal aid
•GOP loses 2 US Senate seats, Dems lose 0
•GOP loses 27 US House seats, Dems lose 11
•Dems win permanent control of US House, US Senate, & White House
MAGAs never think these things through, do they? They don't care about the Constitution or national unity—only uninhibited power.
Vote GOP Out Permanently.
@QasimRashid @GottaLaff My fav was the screen shot of someone asking if they seceded will they still get their Social Security check. 
Edit: screen shot of image I saw from @GottaLaff feed - can’t track down the original post now.
@Brian @QasimRashid @GottaLaff Right? It seemed too stupid to be real…but on the other hand… 
@tiamat271 @QasimRashid @GottaLaff Thank you! It was from @GottaLaff feed. I couldn’t find it again for the source!

> if they seceded will they still get their Social Security check.
Taking the question semi-seriously, I would assume that any Texas resident wishing to remain a US citizen would have the right to do so. If you're a US citizen continueing to reside in Texasstan, yes, you do continue to receive SS, just as you would if you chose to live in Mexico. Of course, Texasstan could fuck with your citizenship rights by demanding that you drop your US citizenship as a condition of continueing to reside, but you could move out of Texasstan (you might have to sneak across the border and request asylum).
However, should Texas attempt to secede, they would be brought back into the fold, at howitzer-point, and they would not enjoy the likely 30 years of martial law that ensued. We would not repeat the mistakes of the Civil War reconstruction. Texas seceding is just election year woofing from politicians pandering.
@artemesia @Brian @QasimRashid @GottaLaff let them secede and then build a wall around them.
@artemesia @Brian @QasimRashid @GottaLaff I don't suppose you've looked into how difficult (and costly) it is to renounce US citizenship. This would go very unsmoothly, to say the least.
@phil_stevens @Brian @QasimRashid @GottaLaff
No, I haven't, but last time I checked the outlay to *become* a US citizen was around $2500 bucks and at least 2 years in the system. Regardess the Texas thing is just election year woofing.
