Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

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.
Not pushing anything. They've threatened to stop paying taxes before. Look it up.
A threat is way different.
It's crazy how often Lucy can yank that football away from you chumps.
Wow, your comment history is wild dude...just had to have a look.
The problem with the incoming fascist reality is that people like you think acknowledging that reality is "wild"
I'd support a threat of secession.
Great.
See the Wikipedia of every other state who has tried under an non-authoritarian regime over the past 100 years.
The Tenth Amendment states
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.
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.
And the MAGA administration and supreme court will just laugh in our faces. We're toast, man.
This is true and good. But with the Supreme Court in Trump's pocket the results may not be great.
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.
