Trump can build the wall around Cali to keep them in and not bother the rest of us."
I'm sure this is in jest.
Otherwise, I'd say you've clearly never been to, nor met anyone from the central valley, northern CA or much of the Sierra Nevada's. The majority there are solidly conservative. The problem is, they are out numbered by the libs along the coast and the big cities (much like Texas, New York, Florida, etc).
Northern CA tried to leave CA and start their own state with several southern OR counties (the idea of which was started by an Oregon mayor). It took the attack on Pearl Harbor to stop the process in it's tracks (at the time).
The northern counties that want to leave CA.
Their representation in the CA Senate
State of Jefferson
Meet the gun-totin, bible thumpin rebels who want to split from California
A brief history on Jefferson (state)
You are right I wasn’t serious, I guess I mainly meant Southern California. Seems every crazy idea starts there or New York or Mass.
I was in California once to change planes for maybe 15 minutes. I am not an expert on California by any means, maybe a better idea would be the far north of Alaska. I am sure you are right about Northern California but I am also sure that these 7th century ME monsters need to be separated from us. Maybe we should just send them back to where they came from.
Yes, I know “Jefferson” well. I have lived most of my life in California and am old enough to have experienced the state when it was the leading state in the union, in most all metrics. That was about 40 years ago. I recall one morning getting my paper and reading the headlines about how governor Deukmejian was fighting with the legislature (back when we had a two-party state) about how to RETURN about 3 billion bucks of SURPLUS to the taxpayers. Yes, back when the state was run by responsible conservatives, back when we had REAL Republicans running the legislature who cared about the state and the people supported them.
It was nice. A state you could be proud of. And your children finished school after having learned something meaningful.
Now the state is at the bottom in most metrics or near it. What a senseless, tragic disaster. Illegal immigration, power mad Democrats, stupid electorate....it goes on while the state finishes its dying.
