First, I support the break up of the US. There is no chance of unity, especially when one half thinks the other half are nazis and racists.
But, if there is no orderly transition and a state, let's say Texas, says fukk it, we're out; wouldn't it be a huge disruption of the economy in Texas? Let's say there is no violence following secession. The US gov still isn't going to like it and might set up some sort of trade sanction and other countries that hate freedom might follow suit. Would Texas be able to survive the shock of losing producer and consumer goods coming from out of state or from other countries?
During what we call the US civil war, people were living much closer to a hand to mouth, subsistence level of economic activity. Secession wouldn't be such a huge shock because people were much more self sufficient then. Now, it's not the case since everything is interconnected. How would that work out if we can't assume an orderly transition?
