I found a twitter thread discussing how California will run its race classification system if #Prop16 passes and it part of it listed North African/Middle Eastern people under the category of "White/Caucasian" for whatever dumb reason. And i found two black females on the thread saying that the reason they did that is because White people will be a minority soon so in order to stay the majority they decided to boost up their numbers by including Middle Easterners/North African people as "White/Caucasian"
.....what? wtf.... i can't... How can people be this stupid to think this??
Part of me thinks that the west coast elite is dead set on secession and it's only the election results that they're waiting on to see if they'll have to start talking about going through with it or not. They will try, the whole west coast will go into freefall, everyone with sense will leave, hopeless commies and sjws will flock to it, and they'll wonder why their utopia of high taxes and micro managing who belongs in what categories based on skin color and toilet parts ended up as a 1040 mile long mental asylum.
Yes, but will the East be so hell bent on keeping it this time, like the North insisted the South couldn't leave the Union?
I noticed that about nation-building and unions. Except for Brexit, they tend to act like Hotel California. Meanwhile, size + diversity = division.
Only the large cities are smurf blue on the west coast.
There are so many red rural areas in California and Oregon. I am not too sure of Washington. Those areas won't secede even if their clown governors demand it.
If they tried to secede it would be the biggest mistake these arrogant elites would ever make in their depraved lives.
I'm actually expecting something like this. This is literally why West Virginia exists.
The rural folk don't agree with the city folk, and when the city folk say, "That's it, come on guys, we're not putting up with this." The resounding response from the mountain people are: "No. Fuck you."
Federal Secession won't happen. But State Secession might, if the Left keep pushing as hard as they are.
Please give Southern Illinois a precedent.
Given the current political climate in the state, nothing would make me happier than for everything below I-80 to say "fuck this, we're out" and split away from Chicago and the collar communities. Considering most of Chicago thinks that anything below that line doesn't exist it wouldn't be much of a change for them, anyway. Let Madigan the lich, fatboy Pritzker, and all their cronies try and survive on playing politics without 3/4ths of the state to leech off of.
West Virginia is the precedent. Federal Secession is unconstitutional. State Secession is constitutional, but it needs congressional approval.
Yeah, but when have communists concerned themselves with the welfare of Kulaks?
This is a group that wants CA to determine the trajectory of your country. You think they'll even blink at bringing the rural counties to heel under the auspices of the metropolitan areas?
Militarily and historically speaking, the city-state civilizations have great difficulty against "the mountain people" without colonization efforts and genocide. If they don't do that, they're looking at a long, drawn out, war with little success, and less to gain.
I'm not sure a group that includes - and lauds - people that shoot people for wearing the wrong hat would need much convincing to work themselves up to a genocide or two - all in a good cause, of course.
they'll learn real quick who actually runs the show when the sieges start.
Trump got 32% of the vote in CA in 2016.
Considering the demographics of CA gun ownership (PDF warning) combined with the demographics of GOP voting and military membership, I'd say Conservatives are perfectly safe from any kind attempts at secession in CA.
Bear in mind that they unthinkingly depend on appropriating resources from others, (CA receives more federal funding than the taxes it pays) it may be even sooner than that.
This occurred to me after I posted. They'll open borders and end up getting bred out. They'll try to expand "dreamer" welfare benefits as it happens, go broke, and the state will look like it did in that lousy movie Elysium but without the jobs or power armor. The ruling class will be sure to carve out a nice swanky bit of countryside with a very high hedge row around it.
