They should divide CA in half and let the southern section secede. Actually, insist that the southern section secede.
Certainly, each county should vote on whether they want to leave the union - much as you mentioned, West Virginia. The resulting secession would probably only involve a narrow coastal strip from San Diego to SF. The rest of the state would form Jefferson and would inherit the two Senators and as many Representatives as their population would warrant.
What the Calexitors forget is that the Silicon Valley mega-taxpaying corporations are publicly-owned and their boards would move them to Texas or Florida to escape Cali’s high taxes, What is left of Cali would be a wildly overpopulated coastal strip that would be poor, hungry and out of water and power.
Yes, we would want them stripped of their citizenship so that they could not migrate back into the US and contaminate our political process with their Marxist views. We could thrive without Cali.
