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.

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.
