#calexit is trending on Facebook.
I rarely ever hear about California secession, it's usually Texas. California was also the first state to leave the union in the 2005 video game Shattered Union.
If this happens, looks like the little hillbilly Emil gets his wish.

@OP
California taking their 55 electoral votes away means we never see another Democratic President again ever

FWIW both Bill Clinton and Barry "Sharia Law" Hussein Soetero won all of their elections by more than 55 electoral votes so it isn't even really necessary.

the civil war already answered the question as to whether or not a state can seceed. they can not. they will be stopped, by war if necessary. anyone talking about seseeding from the nation is full of shit. people try and claim state laws retaining a right to seceed - even if they exist, they are not "legal" in the federal sense. texas, a state claiming such a law, has already tried and failed once to seceed. it didn't happen then, and it won't happen now.

It could happen by the end of the century though. I'm sure Texas has plenty of secession supporters in the military.

I hope California gets independence. Blemish on the country.

nope. it would take pretty much the collapse of the federal government and at least the military. could that happen? sure. but we'd have bigger problems such as the entire united states breaking up. don't worry about individual states pulling out, that can't happen under the federal government.

Which will break up first, the United States of America or the European Union?

What is wrong with secession though? If, say, 66.6% of Californians decide they want to leave America why can't some arrangement be worked out?

0 reading comprehension, bud. I was saying that "Canada" is just as illegitimate as "the US".

we're one nation, indivisible. states literally gave up the rights to their sovereignty when they joined the union. they may not exit, and as history has shown the union will not budge on that point. there is no incentive for america to even want california to leave, they provide a fuck load of wealth to the national coffers. even if 100% of them wanted to, the nation would not let them leave. tbh it's not their land to just take anymore, california belongs to america. just like texas, just like any other state.
for real, if a state ever successfully secedes it will be because the republic has already failed and is falling apart
