Do NOT fall for this shit, they’ve tried it before. This makes america an easy red majority and that’s the entire point of it. We’re in this together and not going anywhere

Think they'll accept refugees from other states of they go? I'm not exactly the most fit, but I'd join their military or fight their fires if it gets me some actual freedom.
You wanna do it Cali, do it before the iron curtain comes falling down. Shit or get off the pot, ya'll might not get another chance.
They could join Denmark
Weber said proponents must gather 546,651 signatures from registered voters, which is 5% of total votes cast for governor in the 2022 election. Proponents face a deadline of July 22.
I wish they could knock on my door, but the building is secured from visitors. I'll sign if I see someone posted at a table on the sidewalk. I'm done with this shit country.

Terrible idea not only for Californians but also the rest of America. Yes California produces a lot and has a huge economy but succeeding would remove almost any big tech headquarters immediately. Silicon valley would be dead. No company is going to willingly pay export fees for every single product they make. They will all move their headquarters somewhere they can freely sell to the other 49 states and force the export fees on California
The additional import/export taxes on top of all the retalitory tariffs that would be placed on the citizens would be crazy.

This is stupid and a pointless gesture. Do something more productive with your time.
