“On September 20, 1995, it was reported that the 478th Civil Affairs Battalion of the United States Army Reserve was to conduct a training exercise simulating an invasion of a foreign island. They were to land on Key West and conduct affairs as if the islanders were foreign. However, no one from the 478th notified Conch officials of the exercise.
Seeing another chance at publicity, Wardlow and the forces behind the 1982 Conch Republic secession mobilized the island for a full-scale war (in the Conch Republic, this involved firing water cannons from fireboats and hitting people with stale Cuban bread), and protested to the Department of Defense for arranging this exercise without consulting the City of Key West. The leaders of the 478th issued an apology the next day, saying they “in no way meant to challenge or impugn the sovereignty of the Conch Republic”, and submitted to a surrender ceremony on September 22.” from wiki

California would ignite a shooting intrastate civil war among its own citizens, as armed patriots would successfully resist the secession plans of the clueless and unprepared commies. The leftist loons would lose any and all armed engagements from Mt. Lassen to San Diego.

The Europeans wisely maintained national borders to keep some ethnic/national groups separate from others. I think “Californian” is a group that ought to be on the other side of a wall from American.

For fun reading, read Stephen Coonts “Liberty’s Last Stand”. TX seceded from the USA and all federal facilities including bases and military planes belonged to the new government and arrests were made of federal officials. Lots of discussions took place about what to do about this or that and one that stuck in my mind was:

What do we do with the Fort Hood shooter?
Shoot him - we’re not going to feed and house him.
What do we do with the body?
Burn it!

Delusion - depravity - degradation - there must be more beginning with “D” but they don’t come to mind right now.

Too bad we can’t just wall off the voting precincts that went Hillary. See if they can survive like Singapore.

Before shooting, Northern Californians should let Southern California know that if California secedes the Northern half would counter-secede and become the State of North California. This is how we got West Virginia.

Apportion the electors vote by county. Like ME and NB.

Otherwise Jerry, you might have an insurrection on your hands.

And then, CA will be liberated from the yoke of socialism.

The difference was those states did not have Lincoln on their ballots at all. Breckenridge and Douglas took those states.
The Democrat split caused Lincoln to be elected. If they had held together with ONE candidate, Breckenridge or Douglas would have been elected, the Civil War would not have been fought and blacks would have been on their knees to their Democratic masters saying “Yassah, Nosah! Anything you say Massah”!

Instead Lincoln was elected, the Civil war fought, slaves freed, and 150 years later, the blacks are on their knees to their Democratic masters saying “Yassah, Nosah! Anything you say Massah”!

Oh wait!

Given the rampant vote fraud in California, I hope I can sign the petition and vote in favor of it, even though I’m a Texan.

“Before shooting, Northern Californians should let Southern California know that if California secedes the Northern half would counter-secede and become the State of North California.”

That, I believe, is how any secession would play out. The wimpy dopes in the big California cities would have no idea on how to deal with a counter-revolutionary, anti-secession movement from Northern and Central Valley Californian patriots.

Hey, San Francisco, we cut off your water. Whatchagonnadoaboutit, snowflakes?

“Eleven state have tried this before. It did not go well for them.”

“It” did not go well for the other 24 either. The huge, ineffective, bloated, abusive federal government we have today is the result of the Appomattox disaster.

Bring it on! I can see California trying to get up an army out if it’s ranks of snowflakes and transgender faggots.
