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.

Same. Here in Massachusetts.

The blue states should secede. On our own or in some kind of partnership with Canada (United States of Canadia?). The red states are an anchor around our neck. We need to cut them loose.

You aren't the only ones who can't leave. There are other Americans who can't get passports because of Trump
