If it were possible should California secede from the Union ?

Who would be happier with California leaving the US, Californians or the rest of the USA?

California leaving the United States to become an independent country
The proposed initiative to gather signatures for a vote on whether California should leave the United States and become an independent country has been cleared by the California Secretary of State. The initiative, known as "Calexit," aims to place the question on the November 2028 ballot. If at least 50% of registered voters participate in the election and at least 55% vote "yes," it would be considered a "vote of no confidence in the United States of America" and an "expression of the will of the people of California" to become an independent country. However, this would not change California's current government or relationship with the United States. The initiative requires the collection of 546,651 signatures from registered voters and must be submitted to county elections officials by July 22, 2025. The fiscal impact of the initiative is estimated to be around $10 million in one-time election-related costs and $2 million annually to operate the commission.

While the rest of the United States would be delighted to build a wall around California and leave it to rot and stew in its own effluvia of homelessness, trash, extremely badly run government, and drug abuse, it is not likely that 55% of the citizenry would agree to it. More's the pity.

Then there is the history of secession to consider. It was not allowed to happen prior to the Civil War...and when Texas tried to secede more recently, (1997), the FBI became involved and there was a shootout.

If California TRIES to secede. there goes Gavin Newsome's bid for the Presidency of the United States...🤣🤣🤣...as if he had a chance in hell.
