Here's the funny thing that these leftoids are forgetting:Oh PLEASE do succeed, and then get into a war with so we can finally wipe that shithole of a city that serves no purpose besides breeding faggotry off the face of the planet. And replace it with something that actually makes money. Maybe make it an addition to vegas. An entire state full of gambling, drinking, and 20 million other ways to lose your rent.
You secede from the United States of America. We'll assume for a second that the USA is willing to allow that to happen...
...do they not understand that this means all the Federal property of the USA is going to be removed from the Republic of California? They don't get to keep the contents of the Military installations and anything else belonging to the USA inside the borders of the Republic of California. Even the major airfields will likely have all the relevant equipment needed for ATC and flight operations either stripped out or simply destroyed.
And not to mention that they can quickly find themselves under embargo and "quarantine" like Cuba has since the 1960s. For all that talk of "California's GDP is so high!", California's "wealth" comes from hosting Silicon Valley and Hollywood, not actual production & exportation of goods and services. They'll find out really damn quickly that they're flat broke, they have no way of utilizing what few natural resources they DO have, no way of selling them on the international markets, and that nobody is willing or able to sell anything to them in turn. Also assuming, of course, that the rest of the world will recognize them as a separate sovereign country by themselves, and not a rogue state.
And that's going off the assumption that they'll be allowed to leave the Union, which the odds of this are extremely low. May I remind those reading that the USA is the only nation on planet Earth that retains the right to First Strike Capability? Every other nuclear-armed country has (officially) pledged to only use them in retaliation, but not the USA. If it looks like the USA can't bring California back into the Union by politicking or conventional force, they may threaten to carry out a nuclear attack to scare them into compliance.
