OK then, so what’s the downside?
If they break off to their own country - and take their electoral votes with them - there wouldn’t be another Democrat elected to the White House for decades!
Plus, a lot of the entertainment types that make their home in NYC would flee to their utopian dream state, diminishing the grip the Dems have held on NY State for the better part of my life.
Well, decent people living in CA do not want to be walled in CA and treated like indentured servants by those whom others elected but to whom they still pay taxes.
Giving ground to the enemy, particularly the 5th largest economy in the word with port(s) critical to shipping is a bad idea.
The whole idea of letting Dems scream until we give them a state is a bad precedent to set.
We would also have to build many more miles of border wall!

and don’t forget the exit tax on Silicon Valley and Hollyweird.
