people who log on after elections and start suggesting west coast secession are just deeply unserious. California on its own is the fifth biggest economy in the entire WORLD. do you people honestly believe the federal government and its military apparatus would just let it secede?

This. One secession in our history: failed. And after seceding, Calif. would immediately have the world’s most belligerent grudge-holding nuclear-powered neighbor ever. And if you look at history of “Secession Movements” in the US you find funding sources and big thinkers are non-domestic.
