Democrats would lose an easy fifty-five electoral votes.
Democrats would lose two of the worst Senators in the U.S. Senate.
Democrats would lose a bunch of House seats.
The United States would lose millions of illegal aliens.
The United States would become nearly 70% white again overnight.
It'll never happen, but I'd love to see California leave. If by some miracle they get 50%+1 to vote for this, President Trump should pull a reverse Lincoln and say he supports their right to self-determination.
I suspect though, most of the ultimately small percentage of pro-secession votes this referendum will receive will be ironic, i.e., voting for it only because they know it will not pass.
Agree with your comments. We should support it.
Also consider the North Korean situation. If they launched five nukes at our five largest cities, the U.S. would be Republican for the next two generations.
NOT that I wish that’d happen. But look where all the Democrats are — all lumped together in big cities. NY, LA, Chicago, DC, San Fran, Detroit (what’s left of it), etc.
