#Calexit is looking better by the minute.

How might it work? Would Sac be the capital? Where would all the foreign embassies go? The Railyards?

Would there be states? Bay Area? L.A. and Orange counties? Central Valley?

Would we join NAFTA? Would the U.S.S.A. let us?

Think about it. The Sierras have protected us nicely since pioneer days. That leaves a couple of bridges across the Colorado that could be blown up in minutes, a couple of highways from Oregon, and one from Vegas.

I should be thinking of a red dawn movie scenario in this situation. Wow in that movie the Russians were invading America, now we have Russia fixing the vote to install their puppet.

Central Valley and Orange skews red. Give them an inch and they'd find a way to take all the miles.

I'm very happy that the liberal coastal areas call the shots for everybody. We're a better state because of it.
