If this happens, will President Trump send in the military to retake California and preserve the Union? Or will he say "good riddance" and let them leave?
Personally I can't fathom life as a country without 50 states. Plus a civil war against leftist rebels in California is the best chance we have as a nation to remove quinoa.
What will those hippies do without northern California. They are ferocious republicans that love their guns and hate lefties. And they grow all that weed up there too.
I can't imagine the North will secede.

California national guard might not follow governors orders if they are also right leaning.
Calexit is preferrable to allowing sanctuary cities but we should preserve the union. We can protect agriculture water interests while making sure LA does not get water
Recall that Andrew Jackson faced a state that attempted to leave the union but Jackson BTFO'd them. Look for Trump to do the same.
Dominic Stewart

Jacob Williams
I would expect him to basically say, no you can't leave, pay debts.
California is top 5 highest debt states in the country. So is New York.
If they try to leave, with 45% of their state being federal land, they will be stopped with force.
William King

You seem to not understand that only a part if the coast would go. Most of the state, including the farmlands, are red districts.
Adrian Gonzalez
I don't understand, would US really give away such rich farming land. Land that they've fought for in the past? This looks like the ultimate tantrum to me.
"WAAAAHHH! We hate America but don't actually want to leave our homes even though the Mexican soil we love is a stone throw away." Do they realize their free gibs would go too?
Mason Robinson
California is ranked 7th @ 45.8% of its land being owned by the federal government, and the Democratic party would never allow secession to happen and loose any remaining federal power they cling to currently with Cali's 55 electoral votes.
Isaiah Stewart
The rich farming land is mostly in red districts, they need water, they need to export, only the shitty coastal strip of SoCal would go.
Brayden Rivera
Trump's emancipation proclaimation:. Any patriot with a gun inside California is allowed to revolt against their governor. Lel

Brutally crush all revolt. Execute commies in the street and leave their corpses to rot. Kill the first born child of every Californian family. Cut off all water, and purge (((Hollywood))) once and for all. California can be made great again, it will take a lot of blood and sweat though.

Red State Socialism, look it up. Basically California and New York along with half a dozen other states subsidize the rest of the United States. Most of the states that pay the most to the Fed are Blue States while Red States just suck out resources.
The idiot Basement Nazis on this board know this, but don't want to admit it, hence why they have a problem with solid blue states like Washington, California and Oregon considering an exit from the country even though it would make the country more Conservative.

Puerto Rico has been in the minors long enough, let cali walk and call up the Ricans. Once California becomes a third world country, should be a month or so, they can make American flags for us with all 50 stars.

Its really not worth the hassle,especially if another country comes in to aide them.
In the unlikely event of that actually happening: Why wage expensive war when you can just sit back and let them self destruct.

Jackson Ortiz

Brody Barnes
Naval blockade and California immediately collapses. They are massively dependent on international shipping, both bringing in goods from Asia and exporting agricultural products.
They would have to appeal to China to intercede when China could just ship their shit through other states.

Matthew Roberts

Joseph Diaz
The civil war settled the question once and for all: states can't leave the union ever under any circumstance and any popular sovereignty from a referendum has nothing near the power needed to remove a state from the union even if it were 100-1 to secede.
Its a legal impossibility and if California attempts to leave the union Trump would be duty bound under the current rules to send in the guard/troops.
Its a complete impossibility from a federal level. California is more likely to split in 2-3 or 4 pieces before it agitates to fully secede
David Nguyen
The day they can't sell their bonds it's all over.
Same goes for all other states and cities.
Everybody is doing deficit spending, and rolling over old debt.

It would be like Lincoln conscripting the Union Army and invading Maryland, except we'd be shooting the brainwashed instead of the morally justified this time
Jonathan Sanchez
A civil war has never seemed closer Trumps presidency is seriously under siege. States not cooperating, Liberal alliances being formed.
Trump will call for "Patriotic Americans" to defend his presidency. He already has our national holiday.
Christopher Jones
Send in the military? Dude, the military is already in CA. You have the entire 1st MARDIV and the Pacific Fleet stationed in the San Diego area.
I guarantee there is already a plan in place for an event like this. Within hours of CA declaring its indepedence LA and SF will be bombarded with jets and naval gun fire as Marines and SEALs make amphibious landings on the beaches and convoy in on the freeways and state routes. I believe there will be civil war but this isn't it, as much as I would love to invade LA as a military conquerer.

To clarify, the only way a state can legitimately secede would be with the approval of 37 other states, via amendment to the Constitution. Anything else means Civil War.
Aaron King
>California can't survive without fed aid
Wrong. California pays more to the federal government in taxes than it gets back from the government in welfare, support, road funding, etc.
The states that are most dependent on the Fed govt (i.e. they pay less taxes to Feds than they get back) are North Dakota and South Carolina.
Jordan Richardson
Little do these average brained faggots know is that California holds most of the West coast military and military ports. California is too valuable as a military asset for accessing the Pacific that under no circumstances will California be able to succeed. Every man woman and child would be sacrificed to keep that land.
Julian Flores
Only really dumb people would vote yes tbqh California is a nessacary "evil" just like NY,WA or Florida.
Oliver Anderson
It's funny. The Left for years has been using the Federial Government to control other states.
Abortion rights were created by a creative constitutional argument. Once that got through the supreme court, it became the national law of the land.
The interstate commerce clause has been abused for everything from preventing individuals growing grain to feed their own animals on their own farm to questionable environmental protections.
Now the shoe is on the other foot. The balance between states and population (inherent to our republic) has shifted such that middle America can 'impose' on the coasts. Now, being fucking winy bitches the left is squawking about succession.
The way to remove this national friction at every level is to reduce the federal government's role and let states find their own solutions. There is of course a reason for the federal level, but rather than have us all at each others throats, lets return a bit to live and let live.
Ian Hill
Proof?
Jose Torres
Take the supposedly "red" northern California and keep it a state while letting the rest go Later annex southern California because the military bases there and don't give them voting rights because they aren't part of the union Officially rename southern California to Commiefornia
Christian Clark
>I would expect him to basically say, no you can't leave, pay debts.
? California owes debt to bondholders (e.g. investors, China), not the Federal Govt.
Moreover, the Federal Government owes way more debt to bondholders than California....
Dominic Mitchell
>Moreover, the Federal Government owes way more debt to bondholders than California....
To be expected cause California is one god damn state.

There are a number of studies that make this simple calculation, e.g.

>California state debt per capita: 20K >Federal debt per capita: 56K
Though if CA were to secede, the secession agreement would presumably involve CA taking on some percentage of that Federal debt (I would guess around 12%, since that is CAs pop share)
Jason Miller
Daily reminder that California used to be a Red State before Feminism and Immigration took over.
Civil war because it's a strategic territory. It will be retaken one way or another.

Seems like Delaware and NY are getting equally as fucked over,doesn't give them the right to secceed,its a larger problem with our infrastructure as a whole that will be hopefully getting fixed soon.
Ian Gutierrez
Delaware is special. It has the most seductive laws for incorporating companies within the US. It has got to be stuffed with high priced lawyers.
If Delaware were to secede, it would loose any advantage it ever had.
