California is actually not crazy “to the rest of us.” It may be crazy to some but not to everyone. It’s not a different country at all. Politically, I identify with California much more than my home state. It also should be noted that it would not be as dominant as you are claiming.
It’s true that Republicans would not like it, but they still have Texas, although it’s not as red as it used to be (yay!) and many other states.
The Founding Fathers were smart but not perfect. The Constitution is not a sacred document. It’s understandable that it would not be 100% applicable for our day.
A government that is “for the people” should reflect what the majority of its people want whether or not you think that the people of specific regions and their values are “crazy.”
Mmm. No. California is positively certifiably batsh*t insane. Thanks to California if I go to the home improvement store every single plank of wood that I will pick up and buy (even the little hardwood floor trim planks) are stamped with the words "blah blah blah wood sawdust is known to the state of California to potentially cause cancer blah blah blah". Every, single, one. By law, they make lumber producers stamp that on every piece. Not only is that wasteful in terms of resources to perform that operation, it likely also adds to the cost of the product for no good reason.
...I guess they forgot to stamp that on every wood pencil I used and sharpened at school. Oh, no, no, don't want to give them any more ideas.
I rest my case.
