This is exactly the hilarity I was talking about.

Yeah that's the only reason they're allowed those guns, because any ACTUAL civil war would be decided by air superiority and armor. Honestly let's do it, it would be hilarious.

There are only ~30 million people living in Texas, do they think gun owners from other States are going to come support Texas?

What's funny is that the people who are most into this ideology are also the "Screw you, got mine"s that will snitch on coworkers and rat on neighbors to the HOA. But claim the government is always evil.

Later they drive like they own the road and bully other drivers on (sub)urban streets, while poofing coal-black exhaust from their double-wide trucks and oversized SUVs decorated with skeletal middle fingers and American flag punisher skull window stickers. Let's add truck nuts into this picture too, it's statistically not-unlikely.

They have some fantasy that a bunch of self-absorbed hyper-individualist misanthropes just like them are going to somehow cohesively band together to fight...the federal government...over... petty stupid things like manufactured culture wars...so that they can achieve a miserable little hate-driven utopia...? Do I got that right?

Meanwhile, neighborly, responsible, quiet, trained, community-minded gun owners will gladly organize amongst themselves to aid inevitable victims of all this nonsense, and would fare a heckuva lot better as a group.

They're the ones that would make foreign invaders or overstepping republics think twice.

These arterial-grease-ridden LARPers are being used so hard and they think it's all their idea.

As their disgraced and treasonous Great Leader(TM) might tweet:

"SAD."

How did bombing vietnam work for you?

Also you really think the mikitary is going to bomb citizens who they could know or family member in texas?

Try it, actually try it. Dont talk about bombing us, actually do it and see what happens.

You sound like George Costanza at the theaters. I hope you know that Seinfeld is fiction

Bro bombing would be the least of the concerns lol

Vietnam didn't work because people native to the region had a much much greater understanding of the terrain, locals, dangers, etc.

The US government probably has a contingency plan to attack any given state should it fall under enemy control.

I swear y'all think way too highly of yourselves.

To be fair, there is a major difference between jungle in Vietnam and forests in Texas. From my understanding there are some pretty rugged swamps and marshes in Texas, but the majority of it is just normal woodlands. That's putting aside that the vast majority of Texas overall is flatland that would be perfect for heavy vehicles and bombing.

Below is a map of the regions of Texas, pretty much the dark green, light green, and south east yellow sections would have any significant geographic impact on the military.

As if the US military doesn't have operational plans to deal with the state that has been talking about secession since the last time they did that.
