The biggest difference is that the state is still controlled by the federal government. If it wasn't subservient to the US Federal government then a lot of things about it would have to change.
It would be a completely different place. I imagine it would closely resemble a Christian version of Turkey in a lot of ways.
It looks like you are trying to adjust the user settings. Would you like to RTFM?
If micro plastics were a problem then we should expect to see rapid increases in cancers in younger adults.

Huh. No shit.
Yeah the dude is really wrong.
Your body is good at filtering out hydrophilic toxins. But for just about every other toxin... Not so much. Most hydrophobic toxins and other toxins, like heavy metals, VOCs, pesticides, micro plastics, etc., are man made and your body hasn't had millions of years to evolve natural filters.
"They" are not.
It's just one dude and that's not going anywhere. It would require agreement of not only New Mexico (which is a non starter) and the federal government, which is equally not going to happen.
If Texas became it's own nation, it would probably become a cross between Russia and Switzerland. It would quickly develop a highly centralized oligarchy, basically operating off of oil and gas exports, while still having good relationships with it's larger neighbors and have beneficial tax policies.
It would become a great safe place for super rich people to hide money while it's actual population declines economically.
They look at you like that because they know, right now, you are young and feel invincible. And you practically are.
But they know that you won't be forever. And they know that you are missing an opportunity to prepare for the second half of your life because you are living to the fullest now.
And they know that it's your choice to make.
And can you believe that most young men today have never asked a girl out?
Exactly, if this really all ended now then we all practically got off easy. (Including the Iranian people compared to how bad it could get.)
Honestly, of all the bad possible outcomes of this war. Losing this way is the least bad.
Who reads their money?
