as a Californian I'm sick of subsidizing a couple dozen quasi-theocratic pariah states with my tax dollars, so

Exactly how I feel to. It's way past time to cut the idiots loose. My fear is they'll become a violent failed neighbor state.

California is like a frat kid at some C-teir party school, who gets A’s in his business classes because he’s the only one who doesn’t show up hung over. So now he thinks he’s a genius, and is oblivious to the fact that he only got his internship because the 2.3 GPA frat President’s dad owns the company. 

In short, this would really be cutting of your nose to spite your face.
