Rules:

1. Be civil

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

California produces 10% of American agricultural needs. If they secede it would be way worse on the economy than these tariffs.

Those 5 states would do just fine without the United States but the United states would be an unimportant backwater without them.

well no, the US would still be 60-70% of the total US economy without them lmao.

an economy of whatever it currently does? I think you literally said it yourself, the handful of states are 30% the economy of the US total, the rest is still a thing, it's not going to disappear lmao. Idk how hard this is to understand.

The US primarily exports high value goods and services, tech for example, not food.

I'm genuinely curious on how realistic this is... I can't imagine it's a simple process, but like what would need to happen for California to become it's own country?

To do so legally, Constitutional Convention. 2/3 of states would have to agree to let it go. And everyone would have to hammer out what happens to federal assets inside the state.

There is basically zero chance they successfully secede. There is however a slightly above zero chance they seriously try.

California trying to secede would be stupid enough to make Trump look like a top mensa candidate.

At the moment, California is taking signatures for studying a "CALexit" plan. It is about 500,000 signatures by July for a successful petition. After that, California starts to study the costs, opportunities, logistics, and other aspects of leaving the union.
