This is THE start of Balkanization of the USA.
“This is THE start of Balkanization of the USA.”
So it may be, but when you look at the demographics of California today, the vast majority of the land area is inhabited by conservatives whose vote is overrun by mostly Los Angeles and to a much lesser extent by San Francisco. You really think that they will agree to being made part of a foreign country? The more likely scenario is that California will be broken up into as many as six states.
So many questions so little time.....
What about citizenship status? Are we now citizens of California not American citizens? What if we want to retain our American citizenship? Would we be aliens in a California republic?
What California values conflict with American values, to the point that these people want to secede?
What about California’s share of the national debt? Does that get paid off somehow; would the legislature in Sacramento raise taxes to pay it off?
What about military bases in California?
This is THE start of Balkanization of the USA.
It started long ago. And not withstanding the islands of conservatism in the state, California is defacto part of Mexico at this point.
Perhaps, but I think maybe Trumps election put that on hold.
