Less "nothing ever happens" and more "it is ridiculous to think Texas will balkanize over what is essentially a slap-fight over immigration when the state receives ~40% of its revenue from the federal government and, among other things, has critical infrastructure fail statewide during cold snaps and is reliant on federal aid anytime a moderately strong storm forms in the gulf of Mexico" - but be sure to tag me in case I miss Abbott's announcement of Texas' secession from his militarized wheelchair lmao.

it's safer to say "eventually"
