You know, I used to think if this country took a very hard and sudden turn right (like getting awful new constitutional amendments passed), it wouldn't be inconceivable that CA would leave the union. But after I saw the frankly tepid reaction libs had to TX effectively banning abortion... I think the libs would just sit back, write angry letters, and take it. US Americans - libs and chuds alike - are such docile cows that will take so much abuse from the ruling class then ask for seconds.
