    Newsome can do whatever he wants, but aside from seceding, there isn’t anything to stop P2025 now.

      Except California has the 5th largest economy in the world. Good luck running the U.S. without their tax dollars.

        That is secession. You’re trying to push a different agenda here.

            The problem with the incoming fascist reality is that people like you think acknowledging that reality is “wild”

      The Tenth Amendment states

      The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

      So there are a fair amount of domestic affairs that California can take care of on its own. So Newsom cannot stop Project 2025, but he can make plans so that California citizens are not quite so adversely affected when certain administrative departments go poof.

      Expect liberal states to make a point of scrutinizing this clause and suing the Federal Government when they think it has overstepped its bounds.

        And the MAGA administration and supreme court will just laugh in our faces. We’re toast, man.

        The GOP has the White House. And the Senate. And the House of Representatives. And the Supreme Court. The constitution says whatever they want it to say.

        This is true and good. But with the Supreme Court in Trump’s pocket the results may not be great.

        Great.

        See the Wikipedia of every other state who has tried under an non-authoritarian regime over the past 100 years.

      Enough with the world is ending bullshit. Republicans have been touting states rights for decades if not centuries. Look at the shithole that Florida has become now that it’s a gop state.

      California has plenty of avenues to protect themselves from GOP bullshit

          Ok 👌 bring that same energy in 2 years during mid terms. No wonder our party is cooked. It’s full of quitters like you. If the world didn’t end in 2016 it’s not gonna end now. If you don’t believe that then quit your job, spend your entire life savings and live your life to the fullest.

              Ok go to your nearest bank and spend all your money on blow and hookers. It’s over. Life is over as we know it. Delete your Lemmy account while your at it. No need for internet anymore since the world is ending and trump will ban all communications.
