@QasimRashid @GottaLaff My fav was the screen shot of someone asking if they seceded will they still get their Social Security check. 😂😂

Edit: screen shot of image I saw from @GottaLaff feed - can’t track down the original post now.

> if they seceded will they still get their Social Security check.

Taking the question semi-seriously, I would assume that any Texas resident wishing to remain a US citizen would have the right to do so. If you're a US citizen continueing to reside in Texasstan, yes, you do continue to receive SS, just as you would if you chose to live in Mexico. Of course, Texasstan could fuck with your citizenship rights by demanding that you drop your US citizenship as a condition of continueing to reside, but you could move out of Texasstan (you might have to sneak across the border and request asylum).

However, should Texas attempt to secede, they would be brought back into the fold, at howitzer-point, and they would not enjoy the likely 30 years of martial law that ensued. We would not repeat the mistakes of the Civil War reconstruction. Texas seceding is just election year woofing from politicians pandering.
