Brexit was good, this was not. |

02.10.17 | As long as it cuts out most of Socal and the Bay, I'm ok with it. |

02.10.17 | California's going to sink into the ocean anyways so it's gonna happen sooner or later |
Satellite
02.10.17 | not going to happen. for so many reasons.
first of all, no congressperson is going to be willing to put forth the legislation to secede because a) it would be career suicide and b) it's clearly outlined as illegal in the constitution and via the 1869 supreme court ruling texas v white. so we're talking about unlawful secession. how many of those 45% are willing to literally go to war w/ the world's most powerful military?
also texas "tried" the same shit after obama was elected. this will achieve similar success.
look, i hate having a fascist cheese curl as president as much as anyone, but this sort of reactionary horseshit is as unrealistic as it is childish. it's nothing more than fodder for local news stations to eat up airtime with. |
Snide
02.10.17 | @Sat: Yeah I remember the controversy with Texas wanting to secede. That's relieving to hear though that it's basically never going to happen, if California somehow managed to secede, I would have moved to another state in a heartbeat. |

02.10.17 | "Brexit was good"
you sir, are wrong. again, love ya Snide, but no |
Snide
02.10.17 | Idk if it would cause the American economy to collapse (arguably the opposite considering how high California's debt and how much federal aid it receives), but California itself would definitely collapse. |

Nope. |

02.10.17 | live in cali too. i have more faith in the average californian than the average american but that aint sayin much |
Sinternet
02.10.17 | while a silly idea i highly doubt you would become a third-world country (which btw is not a good way of classifying countries)
it's pretty much comparable to scottish independence tbh, it's a nice idea but the regions are too reliant on other parts of the country to prepare for it, and it would require a huge amount of programs to improve self-sufficiency
also brexit is pretty bad tbh but it could have easily been a good thing had the right debates been had

02.10.17 | so I keep hearing things about Cali being super in debt, but then stuff about them having the world's like 6th largest economy.
stupid idea though just a bunch of butthurt people who can't hide in their safe spaces |

Pretty sure Dethklok has the 6th largest economy. |

02.10.17 | But the question is which side will Tom Wolf take? |

02.10.17 | Trump can just make this stop by deporting all the illegal alien rapists and murders and then there will be no support for this ::trollface:: |

02.10.17 | snide bro i thought you were going to move |
danielito19
02.10.17 | If cali secedes I'm immigrating |
Brewtality91
02.10.17 | Just like all those people who promised to leave the US if Trump won the election? |
danielito19
02.10.17 | Canada has strict immigration. Hopefully Cali would take refugees from Trumpistan. Hell, convince Oregon and Washington to go with and you'd have a pretty dank nation |
wham49
02.10.17 | it is stupid, but just because people want it does not mean that they would vote to do it |

02.10.17 | The real fight begins now |

02.10.17 | Brexit was good though, Globalism is cancerous. |
Cimnele
02.10.17 | globalism doesn't have anything to do with mutually beneficial unions. it's all about tricking countries you wanna fuck with to copy your ideals so they'll always be one step behind you and easily raidable
listen to less Milo and prison planet imo |
Nazzadan
02.10.17 | If Cali dips from the union I'll move to Oregon or Nevada, apparently the cost of living in Vegas is extremely low. Sucks for my gf though, California teaching credentials aren't usable in other states.
Edit: There's no way this ever passes though lmao |

02.10.17 | California secedes, taking their popular vote and electoral votes, and the dems will literally never win another election ever again lol
Among other things... |
Snide
02.10.17 | Yeah, if California somehow ever left, the country would be pretty red for a long time. |
Mort.
02.10.17 | holy shit why are any of you even bothering with snide about politics hes obviously retarded |

02.10.17 | If it happens (which it won't) it'll be cultural marxisms crowning success. |
MonotoneMop
02.10.17 | The rest of the West Coast would be very upset. Seattle and Portland would probably burn down in riots if the largest provider of blue votes secedes. |
Cygnatti
02.10.17 | I'd be okay with California leaving. The US is gonna be conservative for decades now. |
elliootsmeuth
02.10.17 | It'd be pretty funny if they left. But it's no longer 2016. Don't have to worry about stupid shit like that happening anymore. |
