Donald Trump’s electoral victory has put Marjorie Taylor Greene in her best mood yet.
But she could not believe her eyes when she read about what’s to come next.
And Marjorie Taylor Greene is on cloud nine after this one state announced a plan to secede from the union.
California plans to put secession from the union on the ballot
The recent outbreak of Trump Derangement Syndrome has hit California harder than any other state.
And now, California activists were just approved to gather signatures to put a question on their state ballot to study breaking the Golden State off from the United States and becoming their own, independent nation.
“Should California leave the United States and become a free and independent country?” read the proposed ballot measure.
“If at least 50% of registered voters participate in that election, and at least 55% vote ‘yes,’ it would constitute ‘a vote of no confidence in the United States of America’ and ‘expression of the will of the people of California’ to become an independent country, but would not change California’s current government or relationship with the United States. Creates a commission to report on California’s viability as an independent country,” continued the language in this proposal.
Upon the announcement of the approval to petition for this question to appear on the California ballot, nobody was more excited about the news than Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) who has suggested the idea of a “national divorce” in the past.
Her suggestion has resulted in the Democrat-controlled media slamming the Georgia Republican in the past, but that is all about to change as Democrats are the ones hoping to break the union apart.
Greene, in a recent post on X, pointed out what the political landscape would look like should California succeed in breaking away from the rest of the United States.
She noted that Democrats would lose two Senate seats, and 43 seats in the House of Representatives, and would give the Republican Party a comfortable majority in both houses of Congress.
“California Secretary of State has approved a campaign to gather signatures for a petition calling for a vote on if California should secede from the U.S. and become an independent country,” Greene’s post began. “Go ahead.”
“That would mean 43 Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives would be GONE, giving House Republicans a HUGE majority!” she added.
But the impact of an independent California would go beyond Congress.
The Democrat Party would lose 54 Electoral College votes, which they have historically relied heavily on during Presidential elections.
“And 2 California Democrats U.S. Senators would be GONE making the Republican Senate majority STRONGER. And if California secedes, the next Democrat presidential candidate would lose California’s 54 electoral college votes,” continued Greene. “California TDS patients could lead to their own demise.”
“I’m here for it. FAFO,” she concluded.

Go ahead.

The change in the makeup of the Electoral College would be the biggest hit from this decision, should California move forward with breaking away from the union.
Democrats could eventually find a couple of Senate seats to flip elsewhere to take back their majority, but when it comes to Presidential elections, they would struggle to make up the difference.
If the United States lost California as a state, a candidate for President would only have to earn 241 votes in the Electoral College to make it to the White House.
If that was applied to the most recent Presidential election, Kamala Harris would have only had 182 Electoral College votes.
Without their reliable 54 Electoral College votes from California, Democrats would be desperate to find a way to earn support from less radical, redder states in order to remain competitive in future Presidential elections.
