The US constitution is in peril. Civil and human rights are being trampled upon. The economy is in disarray.

At this rate, we will not make it through the second 100 days.

Federal judges in more than 120 cases so far have sought to stop Trump – judges appointed by Republicans as well as Democrats, some appointed by Trump himself – but the regime is either ignoring or appealing their orders. It has even arrested a municipal judge in Milwaukee amid a case involving an undocumented defendant.

Recently, Judge J Harvie Wilkinson III of the court of appeals for the fourth circuit – an eminent conservative Reagan appointee who is revered by the Federalist Society – issued a scathing rebuke to the Trump regime. In response to its assertion that it can abduct residents of the US and put them into foreign prisons without due process, Wilkinson wrote:

If today the Executive claims the right to deport without due process and in disregard of court orders, what assurance will there be tomorrow that it will not deport American citizens and then disclaim responsibility to bring them home? And what assurance shall there be that the Executive will not train its broad discretionary powers upon its political enemies? The threat, even if not the actuality, would always be present, and the Executive’s obligation to ‘take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed’ would lose its meaning.

If California leaves the USA and gets reasonable gun control and housing costs under control, I would want to be a citizen of the New California Republic.

We would still be just the California Republic, there has been no break between the Bear Flag revolt and the current government. Reminder the NCR in Fallout 2 and New Vegas is not a pre-war remnant but instead a new world government taking heavy inspiration from the old world

More realistically the blue states should consider the fact that the red states will always be slowing them down and they might need to secede and form their own country and let the red states become a third world country because that’s what they clearly want.

Absolutely and Denmark has also made an offer to buy California, which would have many advantages for Trump. For one he would get rid of one of the most pesky blue states.
Many Californians have actually offered to help financing the purchase!

Yes, but that wouldn’t provide the obvious benefits of being part of Denmark. 😋
