It's defacto secession. And m I'm all for it.

During his first term I started seeing balkanization chatter floating around a lot more, curious to see if that's what comes of all this shit.

Look man I’m all for what California is doing but maybe not if it results in me living in the republic of Floribama

Floridian here, I'll gladly move to CA if the country balkanizes like this and they'll have me. Even if it's just my car, SO, and pets, it's going to be worth it to escape the utter devastation that would hit the state shortly afterwards. The oranges might keep away scurvy but we don't really grow much else here
