I know that a Canadian lawmaker offered to take Washington, Oregon and California as new provinces in response to Trump: https://www.kiro7.com/news/local/canadian-lawmaker-offers-take-washington-oregon-california-new-provinces/LPFT7I4AYBGCLHBKVOB2TIFQOQ/

If California could actually pull it off, sure. They're the largest economy in the United States, and a larger economy than many whole nations. Would any sane country turn that down?
So is this one backed by Russia as well?
Likely.
Russia's goal isn't to support Republicans.
Russia's goal is to support anything and everything that splits the USA and NATO apart.
Itd never happen but secessions not an unpopular opinion whenever it's mentioned here, only republicans that have repeatedly said they want to leave and move out hate the idea for some reason
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
Lets suffer forever for ppl who hate us yay

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.
Good for them
Fight for better more fair representation, secession solves nothing.
It will take a massive chunk out of federal funding to reduce states most of whom don't pull equal weight
Shit my CA driver's license expired. Does that mean I'll need to apply for citizenship or will old residents be good?
They could join Denmark
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.
CA better get their hands on some ICBMs. Keep one pointed at DC, and another pointed at Mar-a-Lago. It's pretty much the only way a state can keep its sovereignty.
