I can’t imagine that the national Democrat party would want this. Democrats have 55 automatic electoral votes from California.
If California was no longer part of the US, Trump would have won the election by comfortable margins, in both popular and electoral votes.
I find it hard to believe that Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and company, would want to see California leave the union.
Socialism is a gangrenous infection that spreads over borders. If CA goes the way of Venezuela, eventually it spread to OR and WA, and then go east from there.
They will run out of money and fall into a deep societal pit, but they will not learn from it.
If you could put up a wall and allow no people or resources to cross into CA, then we could let it go. But we cannot insulate them from the rest of the country.
I am leaving California in two days. I can’t wait to get out.
Start throwing CA politicians in jail, dry up Federal funding for social services, and crack down on all illegal immigrants (I don't give a damn how old they were when their parents brought them here illegally).
I’m for it. But the liberals will catch on and stop it.
It’s not even constitutional. But, hell, nothing today is, so....
Every state is sovereign and never agreed when they ratified the constitution to bind themselves forever. In fact three states including the then two largest and most powerful ones, New York and Virginia, expressly reserved the right to unilaterally secede. Nobody at the time even claimed that this rendered their ratification of the constitution thereby defective. Under the comity principle, every state understood itself to have the right to unilateral secession.
The union is voluntary. Government derives its legitimacy from the consent of the governed.
If California wishes to leave, let them go.
Split the state. Let the right side stay as California and dump the western half in the ocean. They can pay for their own catastrophes too!
They have to pay us for their part of the national debt and all the land, and then the borders are CLOSED.
Suppose Lincoln had done this in '61?Bad idea. Route to national self destruction.
It’s moving in that direction. Now any Ca drivers license (including those for illegal aliens) allows one to vote.
Good - if they take their share of the national debt with them, which is $3 trillion.
Why don’t we try enforcing election laws so that only citizens can vote in California? As it stands we are allowing the Communists to disenfranchise California’s legitimate electorate by flooding the state with illegal alien voters.
One of George Soro’s fondest dreams is to destroy this Republic by having California secede. (I’m astonished by how many people on this board want to help him!)
By the way, California with all of it’s resources won’t become part of Mexico. China and the U.N. will seize control of it within minutes of any secession.
California will become a US possession the moment it trys to secede. That means they loose all voting privileges in the US legislature.
Federal military ports and bases in the state will not be given away or abandon.
This is a fight that California liberals are going to lose.
Personally, I think it would be fun if the president called for Martial law in a few select counties in California due to an infestation of illegal aliens and bring in a hundred thousand or so ICE agents and cleat it up for a year or so.
At least California has an attorney general which is more than can be said about the US,
No. Let’s kick them out
California is part of America.
“They” are not
Love it or leave it.
Kick their asses out. If Cali secedes it would be even more Fup
And just like today, the problems will spill over into us.
GTTHO. Leave bastards
Well, we only have to get rid of the SF Bay Area, Los Angeles and Sacramento Counties to get rid of the Socialist Cancer and Prog Degeneracy, so we could do that and keep the Citizenry (including Latinos), Agricultural and Natural Resources Bonanza that is The Golden State.
Then we could sell the SF Bay Area, Los Angeles and Sacramento, food, water and power at "what the market will bear" prices.
Then divide what's left into two states, Jefferson and Pacifica, both would be Red States.
