It's treason.
Things happened back in 1776 that was considered treason do you think what the founders did was wrong?
Demanding elected representation is a legitimate reason to become a traitor against a repressive monarch. On the flip side, when every citizen enjoys the benefits of full representation and you try to secede you're attempting to destroy both democracy and the constitutional rights of the citizens in your state. That's not justifiable.
"Full representation" was a joke, right?
And why is it up to you to decide what acts of treason are justifiable and what are not? If the people of a state collectively decide that they are no longer interested in belonging to the United States, they have that right. If their ideals are so far outside the ideals of the rest of the country, they should not be forced to participate.
That's the current problem with the US right now: we have too many groups wanting to do too many things differently. We are TOO big and TOO different to operate under a single government. That's why certain powers are supposed to rest with the states, because states are more representative of the people who live in them. We would function much better if the United States was dissolved, smaller governments were formed in different regions, and we all functioned together economically and militarily. It works well for the European Union.
The truth is: what is good for California is not good for Texas, and neither should be forced to accept the ideals of the other. But that doesn't mean they can't work together, either.
