Even if that 95% lived in San Francisco and LA and all the rest of California wanted to stay? You’d really give up the entire ocean front?
RE: Even if that 95% lived in San Francisco and LA and all the rest of California wanted to stay?
Let’s be practical. California’s population is just as large as Ukraine, about 42 million
The fact is San Francisco and Los Angeles metros together comprise less than 40% of California. The other 60% are still patriots. But the 40% overrides the 60% in elections, that is why you see idiots like Gavin Newsom retained by a landslide in a recall election.
But there are two factors that will eventually overwhelm this state, maybe not in our generation, but the next :
1. Mass exodus to other states.
2. Mass illegal and legal immigration with people who have no loyalty to our foundation and our constitution.
If the day arrives when like Crimea, 95% of California votes to secede, that would mean that the entire state is beyond hope and has become one gigantic San Francisco.
We have to decide whether it is worth keeping the state by force or peacefully letting it go.
