The 100 mile Progressive-Left strip on the coast might love to shed the "deplorables" in the rest of the state, until they figure out where a lot of the tax money and water comes from.

 

A new state can't be formed out of territory that's already in a state without that state's permission. And the California state legislature is unlikely to approve the addition of two new conservative Senators and a host of new conservative congressmen to the United States government.

 

It's funny to listen to Lefties on the coast talk about the nuts in the eastern part of the state wanting to succeed from the state, when it's been the same loony-Left who for some years have been talking about succeeding from the United States.

 

dfariswheel,

TRUE ENOUGH.

It's doubtful that anyone out there who wants to secede will succeed.

 

The success of their secession is suspect.

 

There has been talk of partitioning CA for as long as I can remember. It started over water rights, so at first it was dividing north & south. Then it got political and went east & west with the divide at the Sacramento & San Juaquin rivers. Now it's even more political, and targeting the specific left wing counties.

It will never happen...just more bluster about the same old stuff.

As a true independent, I don't care for either party. But I do feel for those on the Right in CA who have spent a lifetime voting and never having a single vote go their way. At some point, that gets old.

California stole water at gun point from Arizona back in the 1930s. Mulholland was water commish and he took workers and NG with machine guns across the line and built a pipeline from the Colorado to LA.

Then about 20 years back LA considered going North of Frisco to the Feather River and stealing that water. More recently the feds decided a fish was more important than farms and shutoff the water to farms in central CA.

 

Left Coast strikes again

:grumble: Now CA is requiring serial numbers on 80% lowers Lol

The industry will counter by offering 79% lowers.

 

If cities start challenging the state over the Sanctuary State policy, things will get interesting. Can the State penalize them for following Federal Law as written on the books?

To All,

"Duh Pepul's Socialist Repub-lick of Kalifornication" isn't called "The Land of fruits & nuts" without just cause.

Update: Proponents of the entire State of California seceding from the Union are colleting signatures to get the question on the Ballot for November's vote:

All kinds of stuff could happen in the "worst case scenario*" of California residents voting to secede from the United States. Most of those things are not good. Something like the Catalan kerfluffle in Spain would be one of the less hairy possibilities.

Of course, California was a Republic before she joined the United States. Thanks to Fremont.

California has way too much military and Hi-Tech infrastructure, they're not going anywhere.
