And what a gift it would be for the rest of the country! California currently has 55 electoral votes. Candidates need 270 to become president. Without California, Democrats would have to swing states deep in Republican territory. California has 53 congressmen, 39 of whom are liberals (40 if you count Kevin McCarthy). In a House of Representatives with 382 members, can you imagine the difficulty liberals would have getting a majority if they had to climb out of a net deficit of 39 members? That would make the departure of the two Democratic senators merely icing on the cake!

And there are more bonuses! A must read.

Yes. We could follow precedent, invade California and subjugate it, then impose a Constitutional Amendment or Article V convention to politically neuter it for a decade...

The future looks bright indeed!

California should be somehow forced to return to American form ... USA American form

Trump could bankroll some uber Conservatives that could/would win office and begin the turn around.

This a perfect issue for conservatives to jump on. Petitions in 49 states should be started to force California to leave the Union and pressure applied to the Congress.

This would continue to highlight the disaster of progressivism, and the difference between the us and them.

The benefits of such a removal could be advertised over and over.

California, by itself is the seventh largest economy in the world. Dunno how much of it is smoke and mirrors (Kali and US government deficit spending) but we would probably miss the Peoples’ Democratic Republic of California.
We would definitely miss the ports of California.

Win win.

So we’re going to send in the “Union” soldiers if they succeed, right?
