Texas has more people who voted against Republicans than all but 3 states: California, Florida, New York. So all those people you are telling to go starve?

Cut Texas out and inflation again goes up. Beef, Grain, Corn… More people will blame the president for it, and then we will get more Republican voters. Issue continues but the people in Texas no longer have social security, Medicare, Medicaid and the U.S. Navy/Army stepped in to secure the oil fields. Exports/imports likely stopped as punishment and the oil companies will sell to 49 states instead of 1. So the people struggle to get gas. Struggle to get to work… and without food imported from the rest of the states, they will have food shortages outside of beef flour and corn. Electricity will fail once the people can’t get to work, so the Internet is no longer useful… The United Nations will condemn the actions of the U.S. and strain will be put further on our ties, likely further impacting our imports/exports and causing higher inflation. Texas will need help and where would they get it? They won’t accept help from China, but guess who has oil and would want to help them? Russia. The U.S. would be Texas’s enemy at that point… So Russia doesn’t look half bad to keep the lights on and be able to get to work and pay the bills. Then the U.S. would have to pressure Russia into not helping them… Aka U.S. eventually having to go to war against Texas and forcing them into statehood to ensure no other country has access to the land within the U.S. where missiles can reach everywhere without needing to cross a massive ocean.
