Anyone speaking of secession - please, read history. We do not want to do that again, I don’t care what you believe in, it is a terrible idea. Please think it through beyond how admittedly awesome it would be in theory alone.
lol i’m considering a move to Tijuana so i can commute to San Diego… if California can nix the chicken tax then i’m moving.
Hope this falls through. Any trade deals that allow the US to circumvent Trumps policies and thus keep his regime going is bad. The big crash needs to happen before people are motivated to fight back. The slow frog boil is what led us here to begin with.
This IS what fighting back looks like. It takes many forms.
wanna join EU? ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)
Already looking into it…
Would be fun to watch companies from other states bypass the tariffs by buying California products.
Then of course, Trump will propose tariffs on a State.
It would be hilarious if only red states had tariffs with the rest of the world.
Thank goodness now we are talking. Time for California to move past the Orange Turd.
Turd gonna clamp down on California. He’s got to. Otherwise he loses grip.
The tighter his grip the more states that will slip through his tiny fingers.
Other states should join in. It’s going to be rough no matter how you slice it, but I’d rather the states take the fight to him and the feds. Start controlling the narrative and take it away from the idiots.
What’s really to keep states with ports from just taking over Customs, especially with doge firing and closing federal agencies? If the states control their ports they control what gets tagged for tariffs, or am I wrong?
No question.
Oh shit can they do that?
Why not? If the last couple of months have proven anything, it’s that our entire system is a paper tiger.
I don’t think so.
Politics can sort of be like playing a cross between chess and chicken. Strategic moves to see who blinks first. It’s a constitutional challenge that will need to be addressed by the federal government, taking their time and resources from their own unconstitutional efforts.
Or not. I’m just an Internet person who as far as anyone knows has zero expertise in these sorts of things.
Last civil war was about state rights to own slaves. Now its state right to avoid trade distribution?
My god the writers need to be fired.
And big money in politics. I’d argue Citizens United was the Dread Scott of our time.
Unfortunately, there have been a lot of Dred Scotts of our time.
Dobbs, Trump v Anderson, et cetera.
Fair point Trump v Anderson for sure
Literally what I was thinking thx
Turmoil has engulfed the United States of America. The taxation of trade routes is in dispute.
How 'bout religious awakening against trump?
Isn’t it for trump?
Yes, but remember the Jews are a very crafty folk. They are building their plot of canonization through trump - however their is one other person that could supercede his religious seat.
The right name, at the right time, in the right place makes all the difference.
However normal people are so antichristian without even trying to understand the reasoning behind a christian book. Which I find really frustrating, as they don’t understand it is pivotal to capturing the world’s heart. It has been used as the archetype for the modern worker and their submission. Submission to each other is kindness, and peaceful. However, we are forced to submit to a faceless corporation, for which we must revere, fear, and hold above all else while in position. Essentially making a false god in all but name, however this unbreathing beast controls your lives.
California ! Uber Alles !
Unironically ? I’m so confused
Fun fact Deutschland Uber Alles was originally a call for German unification during the early 1800s and was originally a German republican rallying cry.
It’s a Dead Kennedys song reference that ironically did the German thing because of the governors (at the time) presidential goals and associated policies
Now it’s still relevant but
I kinda like it ?
I’m confused
Have never listened to the dead Kennedys so I kinda couldn’t get the reference so thanks for the context.
Maybe Cali could make an agreement to join Canada or EU.
Succession! And we’re taking Hawaii Oregon and Washington. We can trade with the EU and Canada. Maybe we can join the EU
It’s too bad Utah and Nevada are between Colorado and California…
If we’re fixing America’s beshittlements, can we restore the Hawaiian monarchy?
Or at least let Hawaii be independent again and let the people of Hawaii decide what they want. Too bad they don’t teach the history of what American corporations did to destroy Hawaii and how the US government helped overthrow a friendly foreign nation for American oligarchs to rule.
Yeah that seems fair. Can you guys take care of zuck and Ellison? ……I’m thinking sewer slaves would be best after seizing their assets of course
gonna solve world hunger by empowering billionaires to eat the peanuts outta my shit
cExit?

There is a precedent for lawlessness. Literally anything is constitutional now, you just do it and ignore the court ruling. Where have you been the last decade?
just secede already.
Fuck companies who do that. United they shall fall.
Why would they do that? They gain nothing from that.
Gain nothing? They pay more in federal taxes than they recieve. They’d probably be better off
And they would have to turn around and spend it on their own military because they would lose the military that all 50 states funded together. I never used to be believe in the threat of eastern aggression, but it becomes more and more obvious every day that they can never see the USA bleed. And that’s in the assumption the hyper-aggressive Trump admin does nothing about a secession.
Plus, they’ve already got more than enough justification to withhold federal income taxes and tariffs, the sitting president is violating the constitution and wasn’t even eligible to run in the first place.
Instead of carving ourselves up and removing blue seats from congress we could be uniting against Trump.
They have a military. It’s called the national guard. But yeah the question of secession was settled back in the 1860s.
Short of a massive and sustained general strike or a violent revolution nothing is changing in this country dem or republican. Even the democrats are right wing.
The national guard is mobilized to address state emergencies and support the military abroad. Any state’s national guard is woefully inadequate to defend against foreign threats
As much as I hate Newsom and the democrats, secession from a lunatic presidency that is ready to tank the global market for the interest of the rich elite would be a big step forward for Americans. Trump wants big government. He wants the entire country to adhere to the right wing populists and ultra rich. Yea no I’d say the Californians gain a fuck ton from that.
What Trump is doing is illegal, there is plenty of justification for California to simply respond by doing equally illegal things like denying the feds and withholding taxes.
Removing Cali congressmen is the opposite of opposing his admin.
Im not an American but can they actually do this legally?
I’m not a British Subject, but can the Colonists actually go to war against the King?
Legally? No. But you can’t secede legally either so there is a fuzzy line there somewhere should they start down that road.
Depends on how legally you need it. They also have marijuana by way of nonenforcement.
I mean, I guess we’ll find out together
