Sign a petition in CA and risk having your life destroyed, one way or another.

They’d secede and THEN ask the US for money to bail them out?

Nope, IMO they'd ask the Chinese for money to bail them out. For certain concessions, of course.

That's the only reason why I don't support this. A foreign power parked on our (former) soil is a recipe for disaster, IMO.

Dems are stupid enough to pull this one off.

Those signing are welcome to leave the USA but, the land and all that is on it stays...

The initiative would form a commission to recommend avenues for California to pursue its independence and delete part of the state constitution that says it is an inseparable part of the U.S. The measure would also instruct the governor and California congressional delegation to negotiate more autonomy for the state.

Actually, I like this! Here's why:

If California is stupid enough to approve secession from the union, no matter how they put it, they will be in a state of rebellion. Once that happens the federal government can come in with whatever force it deems necessary to put down the rebellion. That also means rooting out treason and rounding up traitors. Then there's the ever popular "Reconstruction" where the California reconstituted government will have to meet federal terms before being allowed to run their own affairs. And don't forget the massive deportation of illegal aliens and smashing of California's so called sanctuary cities while the state's under federal control.

So go ahead California, secede. That worked out so well for the southern states the last time.

Good. A reason to be able to physically run traitors out of the country.

Secede and then receive foreign aid is the plan.

Or, if allowed to happen, opens it up for other states to do the same.

I’ll be glad to lose their electoral votes. And if they want to secede they need to do it 100%. No financial aid from us.

There are 5.4 million Republicans in California, all unrepresented. Take one for the team I say. 5 million+ secede votes!

Vote to secede from the US, so the conservatives in Cali can then rebel against the Cali cartel and establish the free state of Jefferson, which then votes to join the Union.. As a bonus, once the shooting starts, all the Mexicans will run as fast as their little legs can carry them back to Mexico.
