California leaving USA is a wet dream of most other Americans yes. But chances of that happening seem very remote. Imho I think it’s extremely difficult for a state to leave USA. Been there, tried that before. USA will most likely keep all 57 states for a long long time.

"USA will most likely keep all 57 states for a long long time." Hehe, got it😏. Agree, with the long long time. But, perhaps not forever. During my college days about a hundred years ago, needed an elective so took an anthropology class one summer. Actually found it very interesting. The professor said something one day during a discussion that has stayed with me for some reason; she stated "all borders are temporary". And, she was right. Read a book awhile back that I recommend; The Next 100 Years by George Freidman. A thought provoking book. Freidman is a futurist, a risky profession for sure. Anyway, his prediction for the U.S. and the southwest specifically is that it won't split up but may Balkanize into semi-autonomous regions, and Mexico may meld with Texas as one of those regions. I live in Texas and spend some time down near the border hunting and camping and it's obvious that the process is well under way and has been for several years. Anyway, so it goes 🙄...
