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.

I'm also a Californian from the bay and it cracks me up how some people have this image of a dystopian liberal waste land. I have family from Rough and Ready that are every bit as conservative and country as anywhere in the south.

Have spent a lot of time in San Diego with family living there. It's an incredible city and California is a wonderful state.

I've always told friends and family in Alabama that in California the wheel that squeaks the loudest gets the grease.

It's another example of needing to ask "why?" Why is California portrayed as this wildly progressive state when a lot of the citizens have a lot in common with Alabamians?

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.

You are wrong about one thing. Our side(conservatives) do want California to secede.

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).

What would it be if Cali had to come up with their own currency? With nothing to back it. I'm not picking at you and understand what the point of your post is. I keep seeing some more brazen posters bring this up without understanding their playing with house money.

Did you take the 405 to the 101 to get here?

Based on my experiences there (Southbay area of L.A. county) I'd say the same.

And it would be a terrible idea even for the few idiots that want it. So now you would be neighboring one of the most conservative countries on the planet that has the most capable military in the world. We'd just conquer California and take it back almost immediately after.

Met the wife 40 mi south of Fairfield in '84, certainly not leftist/liberal folks around there. Reagan posters all over the place and generally conservatives that we spoke with.

Are SJW's just the offspring of white Americans witnessing their becoming the minority and just folded to the democrat victim indoctrination programs?
