I agree with your comment
Plus, we won’t let them secede which is unstated point of Salons article.
California is resource rich, has three huge ports, several naval, army and air force bases, plus all that broccali.
Irrigated at huge expense, much of that from all US taxpaers
Why should a few liberals get all those assets? They belong to all of us. Any serious attempt to secede should be seen as theft of critical national resources.
Bottom line: if liberals want to leave, go ahead. But you can’t take trillions of dollars of assets with you
Let them go without strings attached. The rest of there USA would be much better off.
