US question: Would you approve of your state seceding from the Union, declaring independence from the United States? I think California, Oregon, and Washington would, and probably Colorado too. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Californian. No.

It wouldn't solve any problems that can't be solved by other means, and it would create new problems that we haven't had to worry about before. It'd be a net loss for everyone involved.

    We'd have to spend a fortune on defense.

    We'd suffer massive losses from being cut off from interstate trade agreements.

    We'd have to deal with massive immigration issues.

    We'd probably get our shit pushed in from all the federal military bases within the state.

    I think it's waaaay easier to just oust the current leadership and remove all the Congress members that aided and abetted.
