    Californian here, bye Felicia. I’m fucking done with my hard earned money going towards ungrateful backwoods idiots that actively hate me, my state, and my neighbors because they’re told to by thuh teevee, yet don’t realize it. I’m done subsiding hatred for the sake of it, because “it’s the right thing to do.” I’m done being at the political whim of people that can’t spell potato. I have a lot of heart for my countrymen, but considering far too many of them hate us for reasons they don’t even understand, I don’t see the point anymore.

        If honestly be curious how that would work out. CA tends to know the value of immigration, and i couldn’t really see them holding a policy of closed borders, at least not in the long run.

          Any American balkanization would likely go very similarly to the partition of India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. The liberals would be given a period of permission to move to the coasts, and the conservatives to the red states, and in this process communities would shatter and a lot of people would die, but it’s better than a civil war and/or white terror.

        You should have a US Passport and all your documents needed to get it on hand and in a fire safe.

            A US Passport implies you were a US Citizen once

            Personally I would respect all US citizens as Pacficians automatically unless you were an accessory to the Trump Admin or ICE (Whatever the fuck you did is Treason, you don’t get to keep citizenship, you don’t get to join our new cool country and if you try to stay, we will respond with capital punishment).

              I would partially base it on tax records, honestly.

              And yes, I’m specifically trying to exclude billionaires who declare their residency in zero income tax states; they’re specifically trying to evade societal responsibility in the form of tax avoidance, so we should avoid making them a part of our society.

              Clearly there’s more nuance to be implemented, but I think addressing wealth inequality very pointedly at a foundational level would be a GREAT idea.
