This state could function as an independent country

this state could function as an independent country

and the only state which can

Any state could, Cali would just be the biggest economy and the strongest.

Yes, but we've set a precedent stating that seceeding is illegal and we will go to war to support that sentiment.
Also a lot of the money from California is movie money and America would simply ban movies from Hollywood in favor of another city

We gave the Philippines independence tho

They weren't a state. Also there is a lot of bureaucracy to formally succeed as a state.

While Californian independence is a pleasing idea to bat around, we are not culturally ready to function as a nation in our own right. We haven't really nailed down what it means to be a Californian that doesn't just default to the southern coastal population, or what our core values even are, and that's just the beginning. There is a lot more that goes into being a nation than politics. I would definitely want California to build itself as a proper culture and people. Also while the rest of America is full of dicks, they aren't quite dickish enough that it warrants the political, economic and social upheavals of an independence movement.

I could deal with a Hong Kong situation where we get political and cultural autonomy but still ostensibly stay in the Union.

>America would simply ban movies from Hollywood in favor of another city
I don't think they could explicitly ban movies from Hollywood, and many of the businesses are already entrenched, though California would still take a pretty big economic hit. Though to be honest, I almost look forward to that, we could definitely use some scaling down, and California should never have gotten as big as it did. I like comfy low-key California better than cultural/economic imperium California.

I don't know. I'd have some pretty strong doubts about an independent Nevada.

We could but we are Americans and don't want to secede.

They would probably go broke buying water from the nearby states.

The only water that comes "out of state" is Colorado River water, and that runs within our borders. So unless the Colorado states are willing to Shell out for more dams with money they don't have, they are shit out of luck. Also only 8% of our water comes from the Colorado. If we lost that we would probably need austerity measures, but that shouldn't be too hard since so much is wasted as it is. We could also probably buy water on the cheap considering that without Californian tax revenue, most states will struggle to keep the lights on.

No true 'Fornian would see Drumpf as our president

All of them could, they're larger than European countries

Fuck off. We're not all liberal transgender liberals. Some of us actually voted for Trump.

Who?

>We're not all liberal transgender liberals
>Everyone who didn't vote for my candidate is part of the extreme left.

Though it is true that California is a lot more purple than people realize.

California should be nuked. It is one of the original sources for filth and degenerate behavior.

Majority of american culture is produced in LA (Movies, series, porn, music) and the vast majority of it promotes open borders, Hillary Clinton, genderfluid shit, niggers with white women, homosexuality, gangbanging

It's simple, we kill the Californian.

What's the difference between Northern California and Southern California?

Depends on what you consider Northern.

>This is coming from Sweden

Your average IQ is Africa tier due to all the booze and weed that you keep rotting your brain cells with.

Yes, because most degenerate shit that has spread to countries such as Sweden originally come from NY, San Francisco or LA.

one is the best part of the US and the other is a shithole

Not a fan of this place at all

>Yes, because most degenerate shit that has spread to countries such as Sweden originally come from NY, San Francisco or LA.
Ah. I see you have caught that bug that the rest of the US has where you can't take any responsibility for your own country at all and blame it on California.

Northern California is has water, forest, and wine while Southern Californa has mexicans
