As we see the chaos, treachery, and stupidity engulfing California a question arises, what are we to do with California? I propose that it is time to consider the possibility that California must be brought to heel, as it is incapable of fulfilling the duties of a state towards its population (protection and infrastructure) it does not deserve to have the privileges' of a state either.
Let us demote California from a state to a territory, it is clearly incapable of governing itself and therefore must be governed by the nation. Sending in the national guard and the marines (while laudable) is a band-aid on a slit belly. At this point a dictator is required to fix the state of California, democracy is no longer functional within that state.
A reduction to a mere territory is both what the state deserves and what is required to fix it. Only the hard pimp hand of reality can slap sense into a society so depraved and decadent. It is not merely the poor, the illegals, or the criminals who need to feel this blow, the rich and the politicians of the state must also feel it. Indeed, the latter need to feel this pain especially, let them be humbled.
As for how long this demotion should last I suggest nothing less than a century, the current generations that have allowed California to descend into the lawless barbarism that engulfs must die out. A good portion of their children and grandchildren must also die out. The future citizens of California must understand that actions have consequences.
They must realize that their political disenfranchisement is because of their elders, in this way they may grow to despise them and their ways. A complete cultural revolution is required in the state of California, one that can only be brought about by abject humiliation. The counter-revolution must be brutal, merciless, and tireless.
At least a century and half of leftist idiocy must be drowned, cast into the ocean never to return. Let us start with the territory of California, other states will receive the same treatment if required. Show no mercy to them, for they will you none.
Yep that just means the flood of California transplants will become even more of a problem.
The problem is that will hasten the flood of Cali refugees who'll flock to functional red states and proceed to still vote liberal. Even Cali conservatives are far left of most red state normies. Nope, don't want them here yet every day I see more a-coming.
