    Anyone speaking of secession - please, read history. We do not want to do that again, I don’t care what you believe in, it is a terrible idea. Please think it through beyond how admittedly awesome it would be in theory alone.

      Wouldn’t MAGA supposedly be thrilled for California to leave?

      I’m trying to imagine trumper militia marching into California saying, “we need to keep this liberal shithole and it’s 54 blue electoral votes”.

      Yeah, it would be devastating for the US economy, but if MAGA has told us anything it’s that they prefer to tank the economy than embrace any kind of diversity.

      It’s even worse today. The amount of interconnected systems we have in play would be absolutely chaos to try and separate.

      We didn’t have to worry about power grids, networking, food was FAR more local, it would take years to try to isolate yourself from it all on a statewide scale.

      Im familiar with history, and yes, I would love for my state to leave the current union… It’s a failed democracy.
