Interesting from an Electoral College perspective.

“With 38 million people spread over such a vast and varied territory, Draper argues, a monolithic California has grown ungovernable.”


Think thats bad? Wait until you have 6 separate states fighting over water rights, etc.

I like the lines except I think the purple state should be divided and absorbed into the light blue and dark red states making for a 5 way division.

I'd like to see all of Jefferson - i.e., including those parts of Oregon which wish to merge with it.

Regards,

At least three of those proposed states would have a better than even chance of electing conservative representatives.

But I don't like the idea either.

You ever notice that when liberals run a place into the ground, they then declare, along with their leftist media allies, it to be “ungovernable”?

You know, it’s a real hoot to watch people cut and run.

They don’t like the way California is run, so they pack up and leave. They don’t like it’s political make-up, but they don’t hawk Conservatism in the state. They run!

Now they want to hack the state into six pieces. It’s just laughable.

Those areas that are Conservative aren’t fully red anymore. They have turned light red, and will soon be light blue. What do we wind up with. Six Liberal California states instead of one. Man, what an improvement. /s

What do we do about it? We stand and fight toe to toe with Liberals who have nearly destroyed this state.

Who in the state stands up and exploits what the state Legisature has done to the state over the six to eight decades the Democrats have had almost exclusive control? Name one person in California who does this folks?

It’s just amazing the avoidance going on here. The City of Los Angeles has been dominated by Leftists and Unions for decades. How did that work out for us?

Is anyone talking about this? Is there a well known Republican in California who addresses this? I don’t hear them! I don’t see them. Where are they?

I have read where people want to break states away from the Union now. This is Conservatism’s brilliant way to preserve and protect our nation?

Good Lord, we couldn’t be a bigger friend to the enemy with our cut and run tactics.

It’s toe to toe time folks. It’s not time to let them see our backs running for the hills. None the less, that’s what we’re showing them.

And man do we have a big broad yellow streak running the length of it.

They can have my state, when they pry it out of my cold dead fingers.

Retreat has never been an effective strategy.

And those who think the disease cannot infect their safe red states have a big surprise coming.

This is not a disease that crosses the border - it grows from within.
