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.

It's still so weird to me how this is just common knowledge at this point. Everyone (who pays attention and has a brain) just understands that the President of the United States is a paid stooge for a hostile foreign power, and every action he takes is calculated to weaken American economy, military, infrastructure, disaster preparedness, and --maybe most importantly-- unity. 

He wants you weak, broke, scared, unprepared, and angry, so that his masters -- your enemies -- can take you down with greater ease. And he's getting it done with phenomenal speed and efficiency. And everyone just understands this, except for a huge number of people whose cultlike devotion have them convinced that up is down and left is right. 

It's terrifying, but it's also so profoundly weird.
