They'd pull punches but lets not kid ourselves, Texas is not going to last very long against checks notes the entire United States military

The Taliban did ok, Texans can probably do better than them

The Taliban didn't have their home base on American soil. They were a significant distance overseas which created a lot of logistical barriers.

It's the difference between walking next door to kill your neighbor and catching a flight to kill him while he's on vacation.

If you think Texans can't mount an insurgency that would turn extraordinarily bloody for both sides, you're crazy. A significant part of the military would switch sides too, and we'd have a full blown civil war on our hands.

"A significant part of the military would switch sides too" So you think a large portion of the military would casually commit treason? The Military is built on following orders even when you don't like them. Especially when you don't like them. A bunch of hics LARPing as guerrilla fighters on American soil are not going to stand very long, at all. The red hats are a good target from 30,000 feet.

Yes because a substantial portion of them are red hats.

Living in Virginia and seeing bumper stickers talking about "The Biden Crime family" and other nutjob bullshit, yes. They don't really hide their retardation. In fact, they go out of their way to advertise it.

I wouldn't have thought that many civilians would either but they did.

Civilians haven't been put through bootcamp to obey even if it's uncomfortable. To serve the country against enemies foreign and domestic.

Give them a little credit.
