This is like the current debate about the EC.
The vast majority of the counties in cali are red counties who went for trump.
BUT,
The votes are in the cities and there is nothing the rest of the state can do about it at the ballot box.
BUT,
Those red counties also control the production and delivery of the food, water, and power to the cities. In other words if there is a resistance to this pipe dream the cities will just be choked off and have to face conservative guns.
Liberals love to believe they control everything. We will ask them about that again after a week of no food deliveries, no water, no power, and no working toilets...
The smell erupting from the cities will tell the story.
” When, therefore, Texas became one of the United States, she entered into an indissoluble relation. All the obligations of perpetual union, and all the guaranties of republican government in the Union, attached at once to the State. The act which consummated her admission into the Union was something more than a compact; it was the incorporation of a new member into the political body. And it was final. The union between Texas and the other States was as complete, as perpetual, and as indissoluble as the union between the original States. There was no place for reconsideration or revocation, except through revolution or through consent of the States.[7]”
Salmon P. Chase, Chief Justice of the United States.
Texas v. White
If I read this correctly , CA may secede with the permission of the other states.
