What Would Happen If California Really Seceded

There are two kinds of people who support the Calexit movement.



People living in California who think that their state would be far better off without being hitched to the rest of the union,



and people living in every other state who can’t wait to get rid of California.



I’d wager that latter of those two know something that most Calexit supporters in California do not. They know that the golden state is a toxic influence on the rest of the country. It’s become a breeding ground for leftists ideologies, and the people who believe those ideologies have run the state into the ground. As California slips further into debt and the cost of living mounts, those people are moving away to states where there are more opportunities.

But rather than abandoning the beliefs that turned their previous home into an expensive bureaucratic hellhole, they often vote and behave just like they did in California. They turn cities in conservative states into bastions leftist deterioration… little microcosms of where they came from.

That’s why it’s pretty obvious that if California really did secede from the United States, it wouldn’t suddenly be unshackled from the rest of the country. The state wouldn’t become some beacon of progressive values and prosperity. Without the balancing influence of the rest of the country, which keeps California in check to some degree, everything wrong with the state would be amplified. Rather than being free to pursue some grand destiny, California would only be free to pursue the same wrongheaded policies that have driven it towards such a stark, downward trajectory.

That fact was on display recently, when Calexit leader Shankar Singam went on Tucker Carlson Tonight. During the interview, Tucker challenged the notion that California would be able to manage itself properly. He brought up the fact that hundreds of thousands of upper and middle class people have left the state in recent years, which to any sane person would be an indication that their government is doing something terribly wrong to drive these people away.

Good, Texas and other red states have been clamoring for secession for ten years so let's get 'er done! All the blue states can take the vast majority of the economy and form a new Real America and the red states can form the New Confederacy of Backwoods Hillbillies.

Don't say you want to do it, just do it. Call your Congressmen and let's light this candle.

It would be easier to build the wall, for one thing

Not really. Now you'd have to extend the wall along the Arizona and Nevada west borders as well as the southern Oregon border.

and that is a small minority.....not everyone buys into that far left bullshit.....
people living in every other state who can’t wait to get rid of California.
not everyone in the other states buy into that far right bullshit ....Americans solve our problems, not do what the far left and right want to do which is divide us....

Just as long as the southern border stretched around Californication and keep the assholes out of the US, I am for it.. Boxer, Pelosi and Waters would no longer be in the Congress or Senate,, hoorah.

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – The combined debt of California’s state and local governments is at least $848 billion and could escalate past $1.1 trillion, according to a new report.

Make that a 4 foot thick reinforced concrete wall about 50 feet high and 20 feet below ground along CA. The money we save not having to support California and put up with their shit will pay for the wall 7 times over.

No all the blue states would leave with CA, New York and the northeast, Minnesota, Illinois, Penn. The red states would take the old south, which let's face it that is what red state America is, the losers of the civil war. They'd take the old confederacy and the new Real America of blue states would include New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, and Nevada. Bucktooth Hillibilly Land would absorb Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, and Utah.

Real America would rent Pacific Ocean Access to Fake Jesus Land for a price. Red states would have Texas oil and fracking and that is about it.

AGain let's get it done cons. You'll have the country of weirdos you've always wanted, you can go back and relive the 1850s! Go back to the horse and buggy and strip women and minorities of the right to vote! Conservative heaven.

 

[TNHarley]

If they do, we should start a civil war. The precedent has been set.

There are about two people who support secession.

About as likely to happen as the Texas Secession.

In a first, Texas Boys State votes to secede from Union

There will always be people who prefer hot muggy humidity over cool breezes and clear skies.

Another Contard hoping for a Civil War.

No secession is going to happen- you can unload your musket.

I beg to differ on clear skies. May gray and June gloom are two examples of dreary

I have never once heard anyone come from Texas to San Francisco in June and complain of the cool weather.

Or the lack of humidity.
