Can’t say I blame them. I know several people from Northern California and they are surprisingly sane. I’d gladly trade them for Austin, which would fit right in with Southern California.
Not only is their ZERO chance of that it’s just stupid. ALL this has done is ensure that every LibTard here will vote. They know they are going to win anyway so some would sit it out. But this ensures they won’t.
And on the merits, it’s moronic.
It’s a great plan as long as the State of Jefferson produces two Republican US Senators and several GOP members of Congress.
If so, conservative areas of other Democratic states should be allowed to become their own state.
It would at the very least help the GOP win presidential elections.
I just had to post more. Time wasted on stuff like this just upsets me. SO SO SO much about which we can focus our energies. SO many great Conservative ideas.
Why don’t we just Balkanize the entire U.S.? How about the State of Austin? It certainly makes complete sense to split my old state of VA into 3. I bet we could split the U.S. into 300 states or more just based on the fact that “we don’t believe what you do”.
While we waste time with conspiracy theories and this kind of lunacy the Republic crumbles.
Or just blow Hollywood, San Francisco, and parts of Los Angeles to hell and save the whole state. Hey awolf will bite off its own leg to save itself...
I think Shasta has a reputation for New Age stuff so it's probably not representative of the actual population in a possible State of Jefferson.
The last time those counties seriously tried this, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, and it all became just a memory.
They should make the capital the city of Thomas.
Article IV US Constitution:
“Section 3. New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new States shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or Parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress.”
The California House and Senate and the US House and Senate would all have to agree to the formation of a new State from within the borders of California.
Stupid
Why don’t we just give California to Mexico as California del Norte? Doing so would solve a host of problems for us and for Mexico.
please form a new COUNTRY and leave real Americans alone.
Califorina will be unlikely to permit this, althou we should support it.
Its not in our interest to have 1 state dominate the west coast.
Chances of statehood happening are nil Still, I think they have a right to their own governance if they so choose. So here’s an idea that hasn’t been floated; skip becoming a new state, because it isn’t going to happen. They might seek to become an organized, incorporated US territory instead. We don’t have any since Alaska and Hawaii became states. Doing so would sidestep the question of picking up two senators which is going to be an insurmountable feat anyway.
Interesting trivia point is that our unincorporated, organized territories such as Guam and USVI pay income taxes, but they go to the territory in question, not the Federal government.
