    If I lived in CA, I’d vote for this. But, also, California could easily make it as its own country.

        The problem is, so would the fascists, because they think they would win the ensuing civil war, which is a pretty solid bet as long as they are in charge of the military, which they are, and they will stay in charge until they force the civil war that they believe they will win. We are watching it happen in real time. They aren’t even waiting for those “catalyzing events” that they are priming for, because they’re behind schedule, so they are going to just go ahead anyway. Look, nobody is doing shit about it anyway, and if they did- well yhere you go, martial law and suspended elections straight away.

        The military will do as they are told by the chain of command. Who’s in command is dictated by a deeply flawed system that only ever pretended to be democratic. These were always the inevitable distal results. Call me doomey. Watch the world and see the facts and call me doomey.

        We are not dealing with geniuses here. It’s pretty obvious what they planned. It’s like watching the evil guys in a dumb marvel movie. It’s really not that complicated.

        Prophecy over.

          I wonder if it would stay like that on its own in a nationally divided disunited states of America.

            Nope, we would not. But we’re okay going down in the ranks so long as we separate ourselves from the batshit crazy people running the US.

      The problem California would have as its own country would be defending the massive border it has with the failed state next door.
