We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
California Secretary of State has approved a campaign to gather signatures for a petition calling for a vote on if California should secede from the U.S. and become an independent country.
Go ahead.
That would mean 43 Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives would be GONE, giving House Republicans a HUGE majority!
And 2 California Democrat U.S. Senators would be GONE making the Republican Senate majority STRONGER.
AND if California secedes, the next Democrat presidential candidate would lose California’s 54 electoral college votes.
California TDS patients could lead to their own demise.
I’m here for it. FAFO.
