Is because California is the richest state in US, and the 6th world's largest economy itself, making californians have a superiority complex compared to the rest of the contry?

It will probably never happen though.

If they do then they'll flop on their own.

Really the U.S. is helpful for them. Maybe if they took the whole West coast with them they'll have a chance to survive on it own.

I'm a brazilian and live in the state of São Paulo (the richest in the country), and mostly paulistas are very nacionalist, xenophobic, elitist and separatist. California seems to be the US' equivalent, maybe the GDP is somehow related to it?

You can't secede from the union and Cali is in plenty of debt so wouldn't benefit going anywhere fast (even though they can't).

Californians' main justification is because California is the state that pay the most for Washington's treasury and receive the less from it.

Same happens here, SP is totally broken and yet some of the paulistas are separatists.

State hood is permantant. California may be the richest state but they won't succeed on their own.

& ISNT the secession movement for a south and north California not away from the U.S.? only Texas wants to be apart from the US

Reminds me of Catalonia.

Alan, a billionaire wanted to break California up into six pieces so the rich guys could benefit and so Republicans can win again because California is a blue state.

One of the separatist movements I read about wants the whole state declared an indepedent republic from the union and breaked up into six states. http://www.phrelin.com/3Cals/Separatism/html/

Is it true that a lot of californians are separatists?

lol if Quebec didnt, California won't

The last time someone tried to secede from the Union it didn't turn out too well for them.

No

The six states idea wouldn't have survived the ballot. We're not Texas who dreams of breaking off from the US

I heard from one of my murrican friends that a separatist movement is growing there, I'm not surprised about Texas tho, bunch of retarded conservative rednecks.

this

It's way too far in debt

It could only secede if it gets Oregon, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona to go with it and form a socially liberal and fiscally conservative nation.
