Looks like the californian secession movement is doing something about minimizing the amount of california that has to eventually leave the union.

There's a ballot measure petition going around for a bill that would split California into three states. I signed it because I want to destroy America.

yea that was my first guess. its also just as possible its russians like the past half-dozen garbage YESCALIFORNIA! poo poo which leaked that everything being sent out was from a russian ip and russia timezone/stamps, which appeared right after the election magically
:thunk:

same old garbage butthurt republican or russian poo poo. we shouldn't even give these people media attention which is what they want, esp when 99% of the rest of the state doesnt even think its good.

its basically just a way to try to get america to go "woah look at dem wacky californians* (idiotic thing funded by gop thinktank/russians) we need to stop socialism NOW!!" or go "woah hey they're moving too far to the left with proposed state health care, paternity leave, lgbtb rights, taxes on the rich! we need to stop this break up california!" to try to shift overton window back to the right

nope, not in hell. the population of most of that is zero and you still have contra costa, sac, oc, sd which are like 10 million solid blue voters compared to the <500k rural.

(sd and oc are not super lock and historically were more red but generally a solid blue majority now)

The unofficial Norcal-Socal divide is a straight line through nothing of interest. You've really got to try to commit Border Gore in this part of the world.

You'd have to write an individual declaration of war for every one of them.
