That is just what those folks thought in 1860. The situation degraded rather rapidly. Gee, what could go wrong? All of those California-legal weapons against the rest of the Nation.
The damage is not what the Californians inflict on the US military, it is the damage the leftist media will inflict on Trump while he is quelling the insurrection.
I suspect it is what the left wants, they know California will stay in the US but they want bodies to lay at Trump’s feet with the goal of delegitimizing him, which makes the threat of them leaving greater.
This is truly an existential threat and should be taken seriously.
you believe in the totalitarian state ?
that’s not conservative
