But instead, rather than talk of war, let them secede peacefully.
As long as the parts of California that don't want to secede can secede back.
And half the shoreline miles should remain.
It’s the only sensible solution. The sooner we cut off the lunatic leftists (and give the ones in sane states a place to move), the better off everybody will be.
If California (or parts of it) secedes, they will quickly start selling ports to Iran, China, North Korea, Russia, Mexico, etc...
Just something to consider before getting behind such a plan.
