I sincerely hope it does not come to that. Neither the Union nor Confederacy had WMD. Both the Red and Blue zones respectively possess such.
I don't know what difference that makes, unless the two sides propose to use them on each other. I guess I wouldn't put it past the Republicans though. I wouldn't put ANYTHING past those bastards. Maybe CA needs to make sure we have nuclear weapons to defend ourselves and deter aggression by Reaganoid Trumpland against us. Every nation has an incentive to go nuclear to defend itself against possible American attack. It's an excellent deterrent against American aggression.
But CA needs to go its own way, and fund it's own government. It's going to be expensive, but rich Californians can afford it. If Trump does not let us, we'll have to resist, and this may lead to secession.
CA needs it's own single-payer health plan, and its own EPA. It has legalized marijuana, which the Republicans may block. It has imposed stricter gun control, and may impose even more. Trump has promised to cut off funds to sanctuary cities. We're going to restrict fossil fuels and build alternative energy, despite Trump's efforts to make America "great" again by cooking the planet. We may need to refuse to pay taxes to the Feds, and refuse to send soldiers to Trump's revenge wars and potential wars on behalf of the SCO. We'll see, but CA must push left while the nation slips right.
We need to face the fact that red and purple America is not going to progress. Its people are easily conned by Reaganist trickle-down economics promises. They still believe tax cuts will make America great again. A "movement" can win against all indications and odds, if it is a right-wing movement. A left-wing movement like Sanders' could not win. It is so absurd, that nothing but absurd ideas can any longer be entertained about America.
