Doesn't anybody, at this point?

I'm pretty sure there are a LOT of voices for American states to disentangle themselves from the USA

When I lived in the US (left in 2018), there was zero appetite amongst politically active people to change this. If these feelings do exist now I’d expect them to be in their infancy.

Would love to have someone show me counter-indications though.

I've been hearing some calls for California independence, but frankly it's a very recent thing as far as I know. The movement is probably weaker than the Alberta separation movement, and that thing is so weak modern Quebecan separation feels more likely.

There was a nascent calexit movement when I lived there but it had the stink of a Russian psyops campaign. This stifled a lot of interest in the issue of any existed in the first place.

I agree with your analysis 100%

In my experience, most issues that feel like a minority issue at best, but overall is a general negative to the entire nation and probably not that great for the people advocating it themselves, there's a high chance of it being Russian psyops.

I mean, they've uncovered quite a bit of evidence that Brexit was exactly that even.

I’d love if the coasts just left the US and joined Canada.

I don't live there, I'm just reading the news articles about people and even politicians now talking about it.

That, indeed, is new
