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.

Even an ‘official’ insurrection would not go very far. Most people don’t want it and wouldn’t take part. There might be resistance pockets here and there, but that’s it. Who is going to leave their job, grab a gun and go fight when they’re living paycheck-to-paycheck?
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.
Can’t watch Hannity from the front lines.
I think this would be different since if there’s a call to arms, they might see themselves as the aggressor instead of the potential victim.
Nah
As a Texan, I’d rather sit in prison than ever be drafted into Governor Hot Wheels’ army.
