What happened to Calexit?


Apparently, I believe, conservative Californians went from wanting to split in two (which would have resulted in two major blue states) to wanting to split in three (which will result in two major blue states and one leaning blue state) and they're to vote on it soon.


California will not vote on it. A court has declared that it's a constitutional "revision", that is, a change to the fundamental structure of government, which the constitution says must be proposed by a state constitutional convention.

It'll never happen. No more than eastern Washington, north Idaho, and eastern Oregon will ever combine to become the state of Lincoln (yes, that was an actual scheme).

Step two would be a coup against the nation of cascadia or revolution.

Hope not, as the Pacific Northwest is one of the saner parts of the country.
