I’m not saying anything like that would happen in regards to Texas. The bigger issue is that, at a guess, somewhere between 50-70% of Texans do not truly want to secede and start a war with the federal government, so an actual secession would never play out, and this would never be in question. But in a scenario where the US Government had to fight an internal enemy with a target-rich environment, they would destroy what they needed to destroy.
Anything is possible I guess, even if I personally wouldn’t bet money on it. Then again I’m just a guy and no one in power is gonna ask my opinion. They very well may surprise me and bomb Jethrow’s compound or downtown Houston.
My original flippant response was triggered from the ease with which people think the US military is some unstoppable force and the Republicans that do this nonsense would easily be put down. I think it is a lot more complicated than that and no course of action would be easy and painless. That’s wishful thinking on behalf of us lefties.
