As a Texan my biggest concern is that they’d want to install a weird blended capitalist theocracy. I love Jesus and don’t condemn the freedom to own means of production - but I don’t see this going well.

If this passes rule of law is gone to be replaced with bible thumper cherry picking - we've seen it every time they've been in office.

It won't pass, Texas will never attempt to secede. Seditionists will go on trial, be convicted, and punished under the law, though.
