California is already entering into pacts with countries, sending state representation where only countries would attend. It's a soft secession.

I did a lot of voter outreach on Prop 50. So many people (normies 😊) said it didn’t go far enough. Wanted to talk about California secession. People are PISSED.

I'm starting the take the California secession movement more seriously. As a lifelong Californian, I don't know why I would want to support a Federal government that doesn't know how to govern, or attempts to do so from the point of a view of a shitty mob crew.

ALSO: It's important to remember that NOT ALL ~24M ACA ENROLLEES WILL BE UTTERLY SCREWED.

--New Mexico is backfilling ALL lost federal subsidies for ALL enrollees!

--California is backfilling lost federal subsidies for all enrollees < 150% FPL (~290,000 enrollees)

Okay. I don't love AI art, but as far as I know, there's only one AI image on the whole site, meant ironically. Is that what you're referring to?

Understandably, many people scoffed at the first (or second, or hundredth) mention of California secession. And it's never properly been studied, because why would we?

But the burner only gets so hot before you jerk your hand away. Suddenly New West America doesn't seem so farfetched or silly.

I never said it was “an idyllic land.” 🤣 If you don’t like my source, you can look it up yourself & find lots of articles that say secession in Calif has become a hot topic. You’ve never met anyone who has considered it? Congratulations on having a narrow group of friends. No need to respond.

Yes, three very comprehensive ones, conducted by YouGov. See ic.institute/poll for the latest Independent California Poll.

I'm a Californian and I wouldn't have a problem with leaving the Union. California is a Country in its own right and would be fine on our own. Fed up supporting Red States and getting spit on. Let them eat Our Tariffs!
