I think we should invade California and make it part of the United States.
Their people must be tired of socialist policies, high taxes, and freedom robbing restrictions. Apparently California leadership is also trying to make itself a part of Mexico, we should get started right away.
While we’re at it, there’s some other places here in North America that seem to be posturing to become part of the old Soviet Union and even some that seem to be creating the fictional Wakanda. I hope we can save these people too.

Oh, you underestimate their determination to remain deluded. They will never change.
“Their people (California’s) must be tired of socialist policies, high taxes, and freedom robbing restrictions.”
Yes, you are so correct. That’s why they are fleeing to other states where they vote for socialist policies, high taxes and freedom robbing restrictions. No sarcasm intended, it’s the truth, that’s what red states turn blue. Texas is next.
Congress should enact enabling legislation for Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution, "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government ...."
Congress could define what a "Republican Form of Government" is and specify procedures and mechanisms for ensuring that each State has a Republican Form of Government.
For example, Congress could establish that a Republican Form of Government requires fair and honest elections, and specify how they are to be conducted.
A lot could be done under this Section of the Constitution.
