There's that but there is also the dumbness of succession to start with. Like, for example, if Alabama decided to become its own state, it loses all federal funding; that's 36% of the state's revenue according to one site I saw.
That money is going to come from somewhere.... So you'll have to levy tariffs on stuff trucked in on I-10 from Louisiana. So if you live there, you will drive across state lines to buy your stuff. Any sales tax revenue....'Bama ain't gonna get it.
If it comes down to it, what makes you think that any State in the South would seriously consider Succession again?
After what happened last time, they may be served better if they just started a Revolution instead.
No need to throw in the towel if you are going to go the distance ... Just get straight to the dirty work.
Not that Joe Biden simply being elected would be significant enough to warrant such activity.
