People keep talking about "Federalizing the National Guard" and now you've got other States pledging their NG to Texas in defiance of the Supreme Court (see image).
So is this what CW2 looks like?
P.S. I'm a Brit

Compare the map you posted with the population map
There is many more people in the states that would be a Union Army, the fools that would wage war on the United States would be defeated and most Americans wouldn't even need to do anything but watch
Don't forget to cut Texas up into three roughly equal categories:
The loud fascists fomenting this shit
Their quiet neighbors who hate them, their ideas, and every single word they ever utter.
The Oblivious / Disinterested
And statistically, about half of each of those categories are armed.
The real problem is that they cut us up along crazy lines and lump the second and third groups together, so that the nice bluish-purple i see out my window looks bright red from space.
