You keep trying to beat that dead horse that you KNOW won't happen or, you're trolling. Stop paying your taxes and you will see EXACTLY what happens.
C'mon big talker let's see what you've got...

The issue is that many Trump supporters are rural and don't understand how powerful cities have gotten. There is certainly a country vs city battle going on, but economically the country life has lost decades ago.

Here's a great article that details rural Indiana vs urban Indiana: https://www.theatlantic.com/business...rgence/514784/

The problem is America needs California a lot more than you realize or care to understand.

The US doesn't need California, but California does need the US.

If we're gonna go there: a LOT of Calif thinks LA and the SF bay area need to be cut loose or, at least get rid of the Calexit fans and keep the land.

Maybe. Maybe not. Asia certainly would have an interest in the intellectual and innovation hub of the globe. It would certainly be a blow to the US. The other innovation hub is in the NE, not exactly Trump breeding ground either.

What would happen if the US lost the West Coast and New York to Mass? That's a lot of population and economy.
