They are just having a Progtard hissy fit. They sadly aren’t going anywhere.

What if we keep a few military bases in California, like we did in Cuba with Gitmo? We could close Gitmo, and stockpile terrorists in the Presidio. We could built a YUGE nuclear waste dump in Nevada on the California border, upstream from California. Turn California in a literal as well as metaphorical toxic waste dump.

Try it, CA. The Yankees will come over, kill you, and reconstruct yo azz. Then you get carpetbaggers like Hillary to come over and run the show for you. Besides, CA will be known as Atzlan before long, so no worries. You may get you wish after all!

Seems like that particular question was litigated so to speak in 1861-65......

If California were to secede, it would begin the unraveling of the entire nation, which is the goal of the open borders crowd — to break up the nation or breed it out of existence.

Hollywood would be gone so secession might be a good thing. If they passed the measure, the next morning there needs to be military on the border to keep folks from moving east. And yes, Northern California deserves the chance to be their own state.

You got it backwards.

The open border crowd loves our dictatorial all powerful federal govt. The Fed ties the hands of states which cannot enforce their own borders. In essence the Feds are holding down the victim(states) while the globalists rape them.

The US Constitution is (still) silent on the subject of secession.

Oh, that would be a great gift to the rest of the nation, they can take the 2 states above it with them,

I'm on board with that, now that the Texas wine industry is coming into its own.

On top of that, I recently discovered the website of my favorite winery in Germany. It was about a ten minute drive of the town I lived in for 4 years. I just received my first purchase...including shipping, I paid roughly 40% of retail, and all were gold or silver medal winners.

IOW, I'm set.

I would support simply kicking LA and SF out of USA and building 2 more walls around those communist cesspools.

Californians would like being under a queen...

I can just picture the new Republic of California flag: Pink, with mauve and beige, depicting a bear in a sombrero anally raping a smaller bear.

The wall would get a lot longer and more expensive.

Yes! Manifest destiny still applies because of Alaska, Hawaii and Guam.

Hillary can be their Queen. Build the wall along the north and eastern border of Cali. Border will remain open between Mexico and Cali where millions of illegals and refugees can pour through and be greeted with open arms by all the good-hearted liberals. Everybody wins.
