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

In this case, the rest of America will be happy to see California leave.

Especially after the American parts of California split off petition for statehood.

If California tries to secede, President Abraham Trump should declare it to be a "State in rebellion" and militarily occupy it. In 2020, the Occupied Territory of California would have zero electoral votes. Guaranteed Republican victory in that year's Presidential election.

Coverage of the “secession” topic was banished along with the Stars & Bars.

The loons in Sacratomato are the aftermath of public education.

It appears they need to participate in a revolt before the truly understand the meaning of a higher authority.

The Democrats were behind that, too.

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!

“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.
