I did the homework on this, here's how to do peaceful Texit:
1 - New Texas raises enough financing to assume share of debt/anticipated HHS/medicare etc role
2 - New Texas buys 95% of Texas, all of it except the northern square around Amarillo, this purchase price is their share of the US debt, more or less
3 - Texas is still a state with two senators, etc, it is just smaller (only Greater Amarillo), still not the smallest state at all.
4 - OK and AR have the option to join, but in no case does the US cede control or possession of the Mississippi river
Once liberals on the coast understand that this gives the US *better* odds of surviving, as it enables the US to deport right-wing terrorists and safely exile them, we can make it happen.
Sure, you can buy whatever you want, except nukes. Your debt is your own affair. Hopefully the international debt markets think more highly of the word of Texans than myself. I wouldn’t lend to you at less than 10%, but it isn’t my nation or my business.
Texans are 8% of the US, and they've already paid for more than 8% of the US' assets as taxpayers. Texas pays more per capita in taxes than the US ave.
If enough conservatives move to Medford, Oregon (pop. 86,000) the entire southwest Oregon could vote to join Greater Idaho as Phase 2. Greater Idaho is demographically and religiously homogenous compared to Texas (even excluding Greater Houston) and there would not have to be the very divisive issue of stripping citizenship from millions of people. There's too much intermarriage at this point and people with post-1986 amnesty members of the extended family for that even to be possible. The best shot and the only shot at Red-State Secession is Greater Idaho including Southwest Oregon and Eastern Oregon.

Sounds great, as long as New Texas gets its share of federal assets.

That’s why I support Texit - your whining and lies need the discipline of international debt markets. That’s the only way Texans will shut up.
We shouldnt give just OK and AR options to join, we should give all red southern/midwestern states options to join too.
Red State Secession has four rules:
1 - No nuclear weapons or ability to produce them
2 - the entirety of the mississippi river and a corridor is the US forever
3 - a nub state must persist and be contiguous
4 - capital markets must accept your purchase of your share of debt/liability
Can we not just let the mississippi river be a river that both nations can use freely?
No. The United States claimed Vicksburg once, once is enough.
