I’m a Southerner. My family fought for the Confederacy.
We tried to do the same thing CA is trying now. Troops were sent in. 600,000 killed. Reconstruction.

>> Lose two Dem senators and a couple of dozen rat House members and gain a bunch of Conservative Republican Congressmen and Senators.
If anyone wants to leave the United States, the exits are open. If anyone wants to live here, they need to follow the Constitution and laws. The United States will always include California.
