Elections are not decided by how many counties vote for someone, it is decided by how many people within that state that voted for someone. Unlike our presidential election, the election for the president that happens within each state is done by a popular vote, not an electoral college vote, so the majority of Californians voted for Clinton, not Trump.

There are some serious flaws to this post, Oregon and Washington would probably become their own country rather than join in with California. Also, it would make no sense for Canada to want to take in the entire west coast and become a country that is run by the Pacific West.

Ideally, Oregon and Washington would form Cascadia, and California and probably Las Vegas would form the Republic of California.

You didn't catch the articles and tweets where Canadians were inviting the entire West coast and Nevada to secede and join Canada, did you?

I didn't make up this scenario, I simply borrowed it from those articles for my post.

Were will California get its water.......The watersheds that supply drinking water to 80% of California’s resident cover almost 157 million acres and span 8 states.


Looks like California needs others more than the other states need California.


Join Canada........oh

The land is far more valuable than the inhabitants. I think a purge is in order of the land of California. After that it will be a conservative, common sense State.

MOST of those states if talking land ain't "liberal". Las Vegas, Seattle, SF, and LA would be small blue islands in a sea of red.

IMHO things are gonna get real ugly for many "libs" real soon. What happened to Hillary in 2016 is a warning; either start worrying about Americans or else.

The greatest single mistake by the United States of America was fighting to make the southern states stay in the union. It would have been far better to let the region go. The US has been paying for this mistake for the last 150 years.
