I've been hearing some crazy liberals mostly in the San Francisco and Los Angeles are calling for California to secede following Trump's presidential victory. However, I don't think it will have weight outside Los Angeles County and the Bay Area.
Honestly, if Los Angeles County and the Bay Area of California seceded and formed their own nations and/or states, the rest of California would either be a Tossup or Lean Republican. Seriously, nearly all of the liberalism in California comes straight out of the sewers of Los Angeles and San Francisco. Plus, the axing of federal funds to sanctuary cities(Wetback Harbors) alone will severely damage Democrat strongholds in major cities.
When crazy liberals in California talk about secession, they should be targeting the Bay Area of San Francisco(left) and Los Angeles County(right) as these two counties combined have a population of est. 18 million, almost half of California's population and possibly more than half of the state's electorate. Plus, San Francisco and Los Angeles are "Sanctuary Cities" meaning that a Trump presidency will see a massive decrease in the illegal alien population and a sharp decrease in the Solid Democrat electorate.
In fact, the Public Policy Institute of California has reported in 2008 that Los Angeles County was home to one-third of California's illegal alien population. Plus, Illegal Aliens could be around 7-10% of California's total population.
I have to blame California's liberalism in part on Illegal Aliens and non-citizens of third-world background voting in elections as well as Democrats emboldened to commit massive voter fraud. Seriously, if we had only U.S. Citizens voting and just even a fraction of the voter fraud committed, California would be a competitive battleground state.
I also think liberalism is in part caused by controlled media and left-wing academia at universities. A Trump presidency can start by using anti-trust laws to pursue giant media conglomerates that have controlled much of public opinion. Also, cutting off funding for left-wing anti-patriotic universities or universities catering to such degenerate academia.
California depends heavily on federal funding yet the state is fracking broke. Cutting federal taxes alone will lead to a lighter financial burden in all U.S. States, and due to the funding cuts for sanctuary cities, illegal aliens will be less likely to stay in the U.S., reducing the taxpayer burden and infrastructure ware.
California also has the power of ballot initiative where eligible voters in that state can petition for a new policy to be passed or repealed. Reducing the burden placed on businesses such as cutting needless regulations is a good step as Marxist style economics have caused conservative and moderate flight from California. However, a Trump presidency could encourage those same conservatives and moderates who left California to return.
I've been thinking about the idea of California partitioned in three with Southern and Upstate California becoming quite possibly the 51st and 52nd states, even though the current California State Legislature could disapprove for political reasons.
However, all that is needed for Southern California at least to be approved for statehood is a vote from Congress as well as a presidential signature(unless Congress overrides veto) approving statehood. What evidence do I have indicating that Southern and possibly Upstate California could be approved for statehood without a vote from California's State Legislature?
It was the Pico Act of 1859 that California's State Legislature approved to split California along the 36th parallel. It was passed by California's legislature, signed by then Governor John B. Weller, and approved by voters in Southern California(to be named Colorado). However, once the proposal was sent to Washington D.C. for Congressional approval, it was never voted on due to the secession crisis and American Civil War after 1860.
On the other hand, a newly inaugurated G.O.P. White House under Donald Trump as well as a Republican majority in BOTH chambers of Congress can use the Pico Act against California to influence California's State Legislature to comply with numerous reforms meant to return it to before illegal aliens helped Democrats destroy that beautiful state including measures cutting off taxpayer funded services and employment opportunities to illegal aliens as well as reducing burdens on business, commerce, and school choice. Should California try to stop this effort through the courts, the former will have to prove there was some kind of deadline that could stop the Pico Act from being used by Congress to approve of separate statehood for Southern California.
Even if California's legislature votes overwhelmingly to repeal the Pico Act, voters in Southern California will have to approve of such a measure just as voters in SoCal back in 1859-60 approved of the Pico Act.
Even though California's legislature is overwhelmingly Democrat, many Democrats from constituencies in Southern California are possibly open to approving Southern California statehood. If South California became it's own state, it would be competitive, giving Republicans a chance on at least one West Coast state. Plus, Congress can include conditions such as prohibiting illegal aliens from receiving taxpayer funded services, driver's licenses, voting rights, and employment opportunities as well as restricting voting rights to U.S. citizens and having English as the official language of elections.
The Republican Party would have an electoral landslide in Southern California should the following conditions I've proposed be applied as a condition of statehood. In fact, the Republican Party could make Southern California a Solid Republican state, increasing the G.O.P.'s chances for election victory in the future.
Can Southern California be more like Ohio and Florida? With Donald J. Trump as President, that is more and more of a possibility. Plus, should Congress be stuck in a tie, Vice President Mike Pence being the President of the Senate provides the tie-breaker vote, most likely favoring Christian, Republican, and Conservative causes.
