It is not so much that they want independence as that they want the Union government to be confined to its Constitutional bounds. End federal usurpations and they will be happy to live in one nation.

Of course, if federal usurpations continue, or if the economy collapses to the point that government itself collapses, then we may need to rebuild starting with local communities.

Keep in mind that nukes are manufactured in Texas. :-)
