Secession.
Dissolution of the Union.
Civil War II.

Any and all options should be under serious consideration.

California, if you're listening...you have the 6th largest economy in the WORLD...if you leave, I will follow (immediately leaving East Kansas in a U-haul with nothing else if need be) and I will work tirelessly to defeat the rotting corpse of the once United States of America into the dustbin of history.

This is no longer a sovereign nation, we are a vassal state of the Russian oligarchs and their chief. There is no reason to remain a willing participant to this freak show. The countries of Europe and North America and the Pacific rim will all immediately recognize the change and make trade deals that just may propel the Free Republic of California to the 3rd or 4th largest global economy within 5 years, while the former United States sinks into depression and tears itself apart finding scapegoats and ways to oppress anyone who stays behind...

Why stay part of a dying corpse, when amputation of the rot can save the body?

Look, anything would be better than status quo...just wish there was a way to save a contiguous land mass between the coasts, but alas it is unlikely to be...

Pacific States of America has a nice ring to it...
