Is California Really Going to Secede?

[Robert DeLong]

No.

[stremba]

Don’t let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya.

[b4its2late]

We can hope so but I’d say they won’t.

[RC one]

I’d like to see them try.

[pepsionice]

I think between the revolutionary crowd, the university students, and the far-right crowd....yes, there will be enough votes to carry the measure.

Beyond that step? I don’t think any method exists to allow them to leave. I personally would like for them to find a method, allowing them to exit and for the Jefferson-state crowd to re-enter the US as it’s own state, with the remainder on a two-year hike to bankruptcy.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Secede? That Nanny state would fold in 90 days.

San Andreas?

[Paine in the Neck]

If California can secede, Jefferson can secede.

[Lisbon1940]

Without Jefferson, what will they do for pot?

[central_va]

How can non Californians help make this a reality? We need a parallel effort in the other 49 to expel California. #CalGone!

[Trump20162020]

No, they’re all talk, like Scotland.

I wish they would though. Can you imagine how hard it would be for Democrats to win the White House without that slam dunk fifty-five electoral votes?

[PGR88]

Sure, and then the rest of the state will secede from Los Angeles and San Francisco.

RE: If California can secede, Jefferson can secede.

Pardon my ignorance... but where is Jefferson?

[xp38]

Maybe they could come up with a referendum calling the thing Sovereignty Association like Quebec did. Basically it was we make up our own rules but keep sending us money.

[central_va]

Secession is not unconstitutional. At all, in the least.

[ExTexasRedhead]

The MSM and Moonbeam Brown are delusional. Look at the county by county map of CA. A huge segment of CA isn’t Liberal and wants no part of this Liberal lunacy.

[mewzilla]

Not on their nickel...

[TMA62]

If this starts to get serious, expect an large exodus of companies leaving California.

[Ciaphas Cain]

If it does, treat them like any other country. Impose a 20% tariff on all box office receipts for film productions made in Hollywood.

Then see what happens.
