But then other places would do the same thing, and that would start a chain of events that would ultimately destroy the United States.

That's why this won't be allowed. Letting California secede would trigger a chain-reaction of secession movements. California would be better off supporting the effort to call an Article V Convention/Convention of States.

“Take Oregon, Washington, and Hawaii with you.”

Maybe Portland, the rest of Willamette Valley and some of Puget Sound. The remainder of Oregon and Washington is mostly conservative.

California wouldn’t last 5 years on its own.

Don’t need to go to war. Just take out their power

If California left, it would have no money to pay for welfare. Government employment and what about the 250 billion in pension debt VA owes?

FACT: There need not be, it is an instrument of UNION not disunion. There is nothing in wedding vows about divorce, either.

Putting down Insurrection is mentioned as an allowable power of the fedgov.

Haven't they ever seen the California flag?

California has always been a Republic.

Change to a confederacy? I don't think so!

If someone cuts down government employment and creates workfare, the cries into the night will never cease.

California has the 8th largest economy in the world.

But most of it is wasted or stolen.

Or sent to Mexico, BILLIONS of $’s per year.

Highly illegal in most cases.

That's where Trump will get some of the money for the wall.

Yes, that's how Mexico will build the wall when adding in all the billions in welfare the USA actually gives to the government of Mexico.

Making America Great Again!

But a country like Israel can? You are making no sense.

If CA can secede, then the New Confederacy also does so as well. Why is this a bad thing??

We are already Balkanized. Let the West Coast and Northeast become Snowflake Nations.
