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??
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.
Congressional Approval will never happen unless imminent militaristic action (anti-city revolt) is underway, and millions of lives are at stake. And that would probably never happen until a state attempts federal secession.
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.
It never does, the issue is that the mountain folk are quite hard to kill off.
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.
