It would be awesome if California would secede!!
Then Texas would not have to.
Oh, yes they would.
The same intrinsic forces that got us here would grow like a cancer on a body that just had its worst amputated.
Absent SERIOUS constitutional reforms, it will lead to the same results.
The most important reform in addition to ending voter fraud, would be to take the ability and right to vote away from any citizen who receives direct or in some cases direct payment, benefit, etc. from the government.
Without that simply reform, anythink else can’t last as the people simply VOTE to give themselves FREE stuff.
Same result if you don’t reform your governing document.
