I think they should take the SF bay area (Oakland included) and make them their own state and split the rest in two. Northern California, South California and liberal California.

'Course we'll have to figure out how to keep Humboldt county and the rest of those hippie communes in Fleabagifornia.
But it's worth a try.
There was an issue of National Lampoon years ago that had Ronald Reagan’s idea of the world map. It had the San Francisco Bay area color coded the same as the Warsaw Pact nations.
