See? That's why Calexit will never happen.

That's actually why Calexit would happen and military force wouldn't.

A military occupation shuts down all sectors immediately and they absolutely will not come back up for years. Look at what the Taiwan quake did in semiconductors. Now scale that up.

An orderly exit allows the rest of the country to continue buying California products.

Who said a military occupation will happen to prevent Calexit from taking place?

Those in power will do whatever to prevent Calexit from happening in the first place.

And so if Calexit happens, will we have San Diego exit from the Republic of California too?
