California should threaten to pull the funding they provide back to the federal level to subsidize all the red states.
I was gonna say something about them just sending an email stating that they're going to be "officially" switched over to their assigned gender at birth until the orangutan gets off their back, but I like your idea better.
It's real fuckin' rich that they are threatening to cut our funding. As a California taxpayer, my money goes to provide countless red "welfare" states with funding, and we pay for our own "received" funding many times over.
The last numbers I reviewed showed us sending 467.4 billion dollars annually in taxes, and only receiving 75.88 billion in return. We're the fourth largest GDP in the fucking world, the top three above us are COUNTRIES.
Pulling our funding only solidifies our interest in succession. Nobody wanted this even a year ago, now it's all my friends and neighbors like to talk about. https://www.sos.ca.gov/administration/news-releases-and-advisories/2025-news-releases-and-advisories/Proposed-Initiative-Enters-Circulation-Requires-Future-Vote-on-Whether-California-Should-Become-Independent-Country
As much as I'd like California to be the successor state to the current US, I think you're looking for secession in this context.
That said, I am in favor of both frankly. Either replace the current shit show or get out while you can.
