Try twenty.

If Texas secedes, the midwest does too.

To put it bluntly, if you get the midwest to secede, the Union will have to capitulate and acknowledge secession in order avoid starvation.

And you have some really weird misconceptions about how the economy works and who has real power.

Just twenty five thousand farmers could kill this country if they were committed to a two year plan of deliberate non participation in the economy.

A hundred million people would die.

Is this good? No, of course not.

But it illustrates who has real power.

Modern society has lost sight of reality. The reality is the red states have virtually all the cards and they aren't playing the game like they are.

Natural gas comes from red states. Shut off the pipelines and the north dies. Gasoline comes from red states. Shut off the supply and the north can't move.

I also love how you keep dodging my question of what to do with the literal millions of unemployed people a violent secession would cause?

They'd leave.

You think they're gonna stay in a seceding state?

Hell no.
