CALEXIT: Should California follow Taiwan's struggle for independence?

Trump is back, and he will come with even more tools and skill and supporters than last time. Trump could install two more Supreme Court Justices during his next term. That would make the already extra conservative court into an ultra-conservative one. The court has already undone decades of precedent and turned back the clock effectively 80 years on progressive issues. With more Justices, the laws that could be reinterpreted will be even more of an attack on everything California cares about

There is a "legal path" towards secession from the U.S. and there is a petition calling for a Californian independence referendum.

US support for Taiwan's independence validates a breakup of the republic. Freedom for California.

Taiwan doesn't claim to be independent. It is the last vestiges of a military junta from the Chinese civil war. It would be like if the Confederacy managed to take and hold Rhode Island and one of the great colonial powers of the day backed them.

Taiwan also claims to be the rightful rulers of all Mainland China too.

That is why it calls itself the Republic of China.

This is high school history stuff.

As for California the US seems determined to make Cyberpunk 2077 a documentary already so, I guess.
