I will support folks leaving when Trump wins, even if they stay in California and just secede. I'm good with that.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Facts:
California businesses are leaving the state in droves.
In just 2018 and 2019—economic boom years—765 commercial facilities left California. This exodus doesn’t count Charles Schwab’s announcement to leave San Francisco next year.
Nor does it include the 13,000 estimated businesses to have left between 2009 and 2016.
The reason? Economics, plain and simple. California is too expensive, and its taxes and regulations are too high.
The Tax Foundation ranks California 48th in terms of business climate. California is also ranked 48th in terms of regulatory burdens.
California’s cost of living is 50 percent higher than the national average.

BTW, Brad* lives in a GOP-run state.
As America collapsed, it would just make sense for parts to try to save themselves. A core concept in the Alt Right seems to be the destruction of New York and California. It might make sense for them to secede and make a go of things themselves. Along with them, several other states might want to keep in the conventional United States, and leave trump's country.
Obviously, we are getting way ahead of ourselves. trump has not close to winning. If trump does win, what he does then has not been established. But a lot of things are beginning to seem possible that were never possible before.
While whole groups of people have fled before, it is usually just easier to have the land they live on leave.
The Alt Right has made clear they plan on bleeding dry the Northeast and West Coast to fund theirselves, and then destroy both. It is just common sense that these regions should leave before then.
