They go to the lockstep rule of San Fransisco and L.A.
Translation, this state is run by the Gay and Mexican lobby.
Take away L.A. and San Fransisco and you have a nice moderate to conservative state. I sometimes wonder why I even bother to go to the polls in a National or State election. My vote only seems to matter when its for our Representatives or maybe a local measure.
Heck, even Mt. Soledad was a near loosing battle. That one took an Presidential “act of God” so to speak.
So, when it comes to this state learning from its political missteps, I don't think a little economic slap on the wrist will fix it. That would just lead to more taxes and more subsidizing as the general populous suffers. Basically push the state closer and closer to being a full blown communist state. Funny, thats exactly that the L.A. and San Fransisco types seem to want the most.
This is why I an so jaded to say, let the whole thing collapse. Its only so we can have a full blown revolution and bring the state back to its senses.
My other idea, divide it up. Split off L.A and San Fransisco into its own little Facist State.
I think we can do just fine without them.
Truth.
Can you imagine the grinding poverty and reconstruction efforts that would take decades to even begin?
I like your second idea better, but you'd have to split off ALL the coastal counties as their constituents are all liberal in the vast majority.
Idealy, even those counties touching salt water and seafaring ports such as the entire Bay Area, San Jaquin and Sacramento counties should all go with "Coastal California" and the rest to the new and improved "Sierra Republic!"
Poor calcowgirl doesn't like this idea cause it would split her off from the new and improved 51st state, but I guess she'll just have to move and crash the border like so many are doing to the present CA part of the USSA!!!
