Donald Trump argued that a GOP budget bill should help only Republican states instead of benefiting Democratic governors.
“We’re going to make a couple of tweaks,” Trump said of his “one big beautiful bill” during a Tuesday trip to Capitol Hill. “I mean, we don’t want to benefit Democrat governors, although I would do that if it made it better, but they don’t know what they’re doing.”
“We want to help all the states, but we have governors that are from the Democrat [sic] party, let’s say New York, Illinois, big ones, and let’s say Gavin ‘Newscum,’ who’s done a horrible job in California.”
Mine pays for a huge number of them. California.
We’re going to vote on whether we want to seriously pursue succeeding from the US in 2028. If this shit doesn’t stop, I imagine things will slowly fall apart in this country.
California recently (this year, I believe) became the fourth largest GDP in the world, previously the fifth.

Technically, it isn’t a vote for secession, but rather a vote for dedicating resources towards researching the option. Which, honestly, would be better IMO. It gives California options, since we don’t exactly know how things will look two-four years from now. We could have AOC sweeping out Trump in a special election, we could have Trump’s parade murdering civilians who block the procession, we simply don’t know.
So we should all prepare our blue states for the possibility of conflict, be it knowledge, resources, or institution. Hope for the best, expect the worst.
Trump might just turn the faucet on and flood your entire state.
2028 is a long way away.
I’m down for this.
Well, huh. If half the state participates, and 55% of the participants vote yes, it’ll mean a vote of no confidence in the US, but won’t actually mean secession. It’ll form a commission to study the viability though.
