"I look around and I can see plainly that the representative democracy form of government as practiced in the USA has reached a scaling limit." California is way beyond the scaling limit as well. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't see any proposed changes to the form of governance in the #calexit movement that would lead to less government interference in peoples' personal business should secession succeed. This state is notorious for infringing upon liberty above and beyond the status quo even compared to the Federal level as well as compared to other states. I live here and I am unequivocally against full on secession from the union. The only way I could support such a thing is if the entire union were to agree to a pared down Federal government, but remain a political union nonetheless.

I originally made my case here https://steemit.com/calexit/@randr10/a-message-to-my-fellow-californians-and-calexit-why-i-would-leave-if-california-secedes. I give my reasons for wanting to leave if secession occurs. The most prominent of which is because I don't see this going down without a war occurring, and I don't see California winning that one. The Feds will never give up their strategic ports willingly in my opinion. It doesn't matter if it's "legal" or "peaceful". You can couch it in any language you want, but what you're suggesting is taking what these people consider their property from them, and they have all the guns.

Even if California were to succeed, peacefully or otherwise, I'm of the opinion that the politics here would cause a very quick descent into a socialist dystopia. The people in control here are psychotic. I wouldn't want to stick around to see it unfold. When it comes to secession, I'm out.
