41. According to Lincoln, such a peaceful separation is possible

just no violence. Given the size of economy plus the $$$$ outflow to the red state leeches, the blue counties of California would be sitting pretty. I'm not against it. I'm for it and will move there if it happens. Look at the benefits, you would be able to get rid of the gun violence once and for all since the NRA members would book up to leave.
