    A moot point since no states are close to seceding.

    Hypothetically I would move to Europe, and start living there.
    Whether some state is seceding is irrelevant.

    It seems to be some republicans who want to secede from California, split it up so they can make their own Utopia

    That joke has been around for almost 70 years that I have been aware of it. They were going to divide the state at San Francisco, then it was San Jose, then Santa Barbara, and so on until San Diego wanted to join Northern California and the only city left in Southern California was Los Angeles, which was the only thing everybody wanted all along, but they didn't mean to be so blatant about it, so they dropped the project.

    Current Supreme Court precedent, in Texas v. White, holds that the states cannot secede from the union by an act of the state. More recently, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia stated, "If there was any constitutional issue resolved by the Civil War, it is that there is no right to secede."

    So, "no"---nor would I want to.

  • Since I have no problem answering hypothetical questions, here's my answer: next to nothing would make me leave California. I'm staying all the way.

  • I heard NHexit was a thing right after brexit. If I do Leave it’s because I hate this place, not because it wants to secede. The only thing that keeps me here is no sales tax.

  • idk I never looked too much in to it because I figured it wouldn’t get too far off the ground even if they were serious about it

    They have no military, and no fiscal budget for one. I'm leaving, quick as I can.

    I'd stay.  This state isn't fond of the rest of the US (it's always fighting with Washington's mandates), but so far no ones talked about secession.

    My state?  I would move anywhere else but a state that thinks Trump was GREAT.

    I'll stay just because I'm lazy and can't really afford to move anyway.

    Leave if the current governor was set to head the new territory. I live in Florida. I love it here.
