Anyone with nay brains would see that if CA leaves the Union everyone would be better off. We should be pushing for this to happen. Talk of war is stupid and silly.
“We should be pushing for this to happen. Talk of war is stupid and silly.”
War would be inevitable if California leaves. First, there’s no way to separate California from U.S. interests and properties. The U.S. has military bases there, equipment, soldiers, etc. We also have national parks, federal property, national highways, waterways, federally funded projects, etc. Who gets all those? What are we going to be paid for it all when the cost is literally incalculable?
And then there are the really serious issues - a civil war in California between those who want to secede and those who don’t. All of inland California will vote to stay. They might be outvoted, but in an age of secession who is going to have the moral authority to convince them not to secede from a seceding state? It will be just like the creation of West Virginia when those counties refused to secede from the Union while Virginia did. Only this time there will be millions of illegals involved, widespread racist violence, and floods of refugees flooding into U.S. territory. Of course we red-blooded Americans will respond and defend our fellow citizens. And what about Mexico? Do you think they’ll do absolutely nothing in all of this? What about the Chinese? They would be the biggest winners not Mexico. Do you think they’ll do nothing at all?
If California secedes, war is INEVITABLE. It is not stupid and silly to talk about what is INEVITABLE. It happened in 1861. It will happen again if there is another secession.
