To be clear, what’s going on is that the Governor of Texas is using the National Guard to block US border patrol from accessing the border, and using language that is very similar to that in the articles of secession to justify it.

    By April 1862, the south had to impose a draft. The north subsequently did the same.

      That’s the only possible way this theorized insurrection would work. And good luck with that, Texas.

        All of the right wingers I know that like trump all say the same thing: “if they come for me I’ll blah blah blah”.
        None of them would ever leave thier house to go fight for anyone. They’ve got TV to watch.

        As a Texan, I’d rather sit in prison than ever be drafted into Governor Hot Wheels’ army.
