As a resident of Austin, Texas, I can assure you when Texas succeeds that we will quickly take over. Between us, Houston and San Antonio, Texas would be forced to stay in the union. The same goes for California.

Edit: I'm sorry, am I supposed to be excited at the aspect of crazy right wingers succeeding from the union? Do you have any idea how shitty Texas would be without the Federal gov't keeping it in check? Civil War 2 electric bugaloo... Yipee! Think of all the cool things we can do!!
