Considering how much agriculture and manufacturing actually come out of California, this would have a substantial impact on the rest of the US. The California gdp is as much as in the top 5 gdp's in the world.

Right, California could secede and collapse all the red states.

Either way we’re heading to something.

As a fellow Colorado resident, all I can think about is how we can find a way to link up to these other blue states. Also, I wish that our state government had the balls that CA does. If anything, I will pack my ass up and move back to the West Coast.

Blue Colorado residents would likely have to give up their property and relocate to California the Country. Think your state gets swallowed by Texas the Country.

  1. Start an independence movement for CO and NM.

  2. Secede and join Mexico.

California doesn't want you. Cascadia doesn't want you.
