And the proposed split is :

That would actually work pretty well for me! In particular, the Navy and Marine presence in San Diego would remain in the US. Plus, San Diego is a nice area! heh

It's really too bad it won't happen, as if it did the Hollywood idiocracy wouldn't have anything to whine about anymore...

Modern day California secessionists should at least say that Southern States had every right to secede. Let’s have a little consistency.

The idea of splitting CA into three states seems to have some merit. However, prepare yourself for four more senators. How about if Texas becomes ten states? Eighteen more Senators?

Or they could split California into two states: Right California and Left California.

Wouldn’t work. These people aren’t interested in having their own liberal government. That they’ve already got. What they want to do is rule us.

Let them secede. Then invade and drive the worthless snowflakes into the pacific. Result - California becomes a normal state again, and we have fewer whiney snowflakes clogging up the works.

Several states that want to break up — why?

Within a few years, the Libs will have infiltrated the broken off sections and the new segmented state will be back in the same shape condition in a couple of decades — Libs running things and creating havoc.

Libs spread into non-Lib states. Look at Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, etc.

Breaking up into another entity is not the solution. It is sort of like chopping off one’s arm because a finger has a splinter.

Man up! Take your state back! Otherwise, breaking the state up is like compromise, and look at what compromise has done — in DC, for example. In compromise, you lose and the Libs win.

Just what this nation needs — a dozen future Venezuelas peppered along the coastal regions and inland.

You think they still won’t be suckling off FED money? Most foreign nations get some kind of FED money now.

As separate nation-states they would get the money without DC regulating how they spend it.

Despite the desire of many patriotic Americans living in California - the problem with California splitting into 2 states is that the CONSTITUTION requires that be done only with the consent of the state legislature:
"New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new State shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or Parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress"

Article IV, Section 3, Clause 1

Only if the sane half of California could regain control of its legislature would it be possible.

Yup. Let those counties break off to form their own nation.
