If California actually separated from the US, they would soon become another Venezuela or North Korea. The US simply can not afford to have a failed nation on our border, with millions of starving refugees desperate to illegally escape their worker's paradise.

More likely, the urban cities might leave. Much of the state is fairly conservative. When you look at the way the counties voted, you can see the division. While the Calexit folks think they can pull the whole state, there's nothing keeping counties from choosing to remain in the US. Then there is the issue of federal land. Federal buildings, national parks, national forests military bases and BLM land. California has no claim on them.
Remember the ERA amendment? When the seven year deadline came up supporters wanted three more years. However, they also demanded that states be barred from a revote. Several states had already changed their votes. This is similar to what Calexit supporters want.

Right.
It won't happen. Discussed here:

The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

A) Lots of desert and mountains to keep the horses at bay

B) Kicking SF and LA out of the US would be great

IT will never happen. All it takes to kill off all this Calexit crap is for the Federal Government to cut off ALL funding, including Social Security payments, for California for just one week about a month prior to the vote. Once the voters have a clear demonstration just how dependent California is on the rest of the United States this Calexit crap will die a fast death and it might even result in the organizers of this "movement" to be told they were no longer welcome in either California or the USA.


I've stopped counting.

As a CA native I COULD NOT AGREE MORE. Those cities more than anywhere else have poisoned my state.

The most urgent reason California will never be independent of the US is its electoral votes. You remove California from electoral influence and the Dems would evaporate as a political presence. The Dems will never let that happen. Never. In fact, if I were king for a day and my decrees had the enduring power of law, I would split California into four States: Los Angeles Metro, Southern California, Northern California and SFO Metro.
