After they Calexit or whatever. Can we invade them?


That’s what I’d do. From the military bases there. The US Government owns a lot of California.

If CalExit, then the Democrats would likely never win another major national election. So YES, lets help them out.

The Constitution is a contract among the States. The fed gov was created by this contract, and hence is not a party to it.

Hawaii would probably join the left coast, Alaska would probably go independent instead of joining Canada. The problem, if there really is a massive fracturing -- who gets the nukes? Who gets the ships, planes, tanks? Do members of the military who are from, say Alaska, get to (or have to) be discharged if Alaska becomes independent? Would whichever chunk DC is in (which would invariably be a leftist chunk) retain control of the military hardware?

You can bet that the leftists, for all their pacifist bullshit, will demand control of the military power so they could intimidate, even attack, the conservative middle portion.

Then they can be a territory, like Guam, or Puerto Rico.

This is actually pretty humorous. For a number of reasons. Conservatives would be happy to see them go but the Rats would have a fit. It would take another two generations to restock demographics. I am sure North California would exit the exit and return.

I sort of had a thought of a later day Sherman marching form L.A. to San Francisco. I made me smile.

No, but if you had two parents who where American citizens it makes you a minority.

Cool. Can I pick out my own therapy dog?

But for this to happen, they would have to win the war.

We’ll just nuke ‘em and declare victory. ;-)

They don’t even provide their own electricity. They will be modern pioneers trying to figure out how to live without it.

Kalifonia apparently hasn’t read the history of the 19th century.

Precisely, if utterly unsurprising.

A BA in African transgender basket weaving is much more hip .. not to mention no dead white guys.

One worries that (given the committed leftism and incompetence within the Cali legislature) that the once Golden State would turn into Venezuela overnight. Human suffering could be significant. Not a good thing.

Then Arizona would have to deal with a flood of illegal immigrants from the west as well as the south. At least it would be conservatives fleeing, not freeloading liberals.

Cut the water off from LA and the Bay Area....the problems would evaporate.

Sorry not the right kind of minority. You get nothing but the bill.

Four years after the Civil War, the “Texas v. White” Supreme Court ruling of 1869 established that no state can ever secede from the union without the unanimous consent of all other states.

All we have to do is build wall, deport illegals & anchor families, withhold funding for sanctuary cities and snowflake campuses, endorse law and in 8 yrs, California should be back on right track
