How about this? Reject all financial and other aid, cut all electric grid / utility ties to the rest of the USA, then we'll talk.

In the meantime, nobody tell the other Republicans what happens to their electoral college numbers when TX leaves the game.

I thought Texas didn't have any power connections to the US, that's why it's grid goes tits up every time they get bad weather

As much as I would welcome seeing the shit hole that is Texas collapse under their own hubris from leaving the US; I'm not sure you realize that Texas has their own electrical grid and shares very few utilities with other states.

A power grid that's barely functioning and tied to other grids anyway because they don't make enough.

Yeah if I recall they specifically avoided connecting their grid to the rest of the US to avoid federal regulations, one effect of which is that the power companies can set whatever rates they want which is how the stories of Texans being charged thousands of dollars for electricity during catastrophic events like hurricanes come about.

Freedom, I guess??
