I've seen it in a handful of threads. Neither side can/wants a secession.
California is a top 10 GDP in the world by itself, yet we can't even provide our own water. It bothers me that people even mention this as a possibility.

Having said that, I live in San Diego County. I've never seen a protest. Never been targeted because I am white, I've never seen a single ICE agent, nor have I heard anyone talk of succession. Just prissy democratic office banter.

Just wanted to let you know, it's not a lawless land.

I've spent a good bit of time in Cali--mainly San Diego (Navy). I think it's the shite aside from the cost of living.

Reasonable people like yourself need to take your State back from the loons who control your politics. California is on the path to disaster if your politics maintain their current direction. You will tax yourselves out of relevance where business will be forced to relocate to other locations.

The interesting thing is that every person I know who migrated to California has eventually became a liberal. I really don't get it.

I am a lifelong Floridian. Ther are a lot of similarities between the two states but, Florida is quite conservative. It is very affordable, vibrant and growing here. We are the opposite of California in many ways. Just like California, we have some very liberal areas but, we have not allowed them to control our politics.

The reason he can't take the state back is obvious...about 40 yrs. ago I was living in California and the news came over the radio that that year the white student became the minority in the public school class room...'nough said! Since I was home schooling my two kids, it didn't really phase me that much because I knew I'd never live there full time...

Look, I have RVed all over California many times...know the state well...but, sir, you are a small minority relatively speaking in today'sworld...there is now cities in Cali now that are majority Chinese!

4 million of us voted for Trump in the last election.

A ton of voters in California who preferred Trump over Hilary did not vote feeling it would be a waste

Everyone just thinks of the Coastal cities and towns in Cali and even some of those are still fairly conservative...Smaller, older population ones.

But there's 18,000 square miles of California known as the Central Valley that is Red...Hell even the Mexicans are rednecks in the Valley.

I've been in California since 1967. I have commercial fishing boats in Santa Cruz so I end up spending half the year in Santa Cruz County and half the year in the Sierra foothills, Amador County. A world of difference between the two.

I was on the lam for 8 and a half years...I wrote a book on it long ago...It was part of my 2nd life time, figuratively speaking of course...I'm now in my 3rd stage of life...

Fly out there for work three/four times per year. All people I meet/work with have small businesses and can't stand the govt Unions despite their party affiliation.

The crap we hear comes from the loudest but smallest segment of the state (Hollywood, Berkeley, San Fran).
