We all really need to face up to the fact that governing our constitutional republic can no longer be shared with the Democrat Party because they have clearly come out with wanting to destroy that constitutional republic on multiple fronts. They now have open hostility toward it (been there for long time but now it's out in the open). They are definitely going with radical left Marxist ideologies from here on out. The American constitutional republican and radical left Marxist ideology cannot co-exist.

We're now at a worse cultural divide than what we faced in 1860. Even as the Confederacy tried to go its own way it still tried to devise a form of govt. that resembled the USA govt. and culturally the people of Confederate states and Union states still had a great deal in common. Slavery certainly was a huge divider but it in retrospect it is mild compared to the cultural matters that have come to divide most Americans in most of the states from the leftist that run the Democrat party today. (Leftist ideology embraces atheistic amoral precepts, has no defined moral substrate other than whatever keeps them in power, promotes rampant criminality of its political elite class, it adheres to death cult tendencies (Planned Parenthood mass murder industry and sub-industries), and readily drifts into embrace of the demonic cults often in conjunction to pedophilia - and worse.)

So we need to face up to this reality and disenfranchise the Democrat Party (can't share sane governance of the republic with them) and there is a very pragmatic way to go about that.

California is in open rebellion against the Union of States as it has passed state level nullification laws of constitutionally superior federal laws, and it has openly invited in a mass invasion of illegal aliens over the years for the purpose of inflating their representation via the census (having illegal aliens counted in the census) and by making it easy for illegal aliens to fill up their voter registration and thereby use illegal voters for their party to dominate politically. Both of these are an assault on the sovereignty of the other 49 states.

California needs to have its statehood status revoked, reverted back to a federal territory status. The federal territory should then be divided up into about four sub territories and a territorial governor appointed to govern each to where they report directly to the executive branch only. Once it is reverted to territorial status, the US military can be deployed to keep law and order in said territories (i.e., LA or SanFran try to go into open revolt - deploy the military, cut off their electricity and transit in and out of the rebellious city, put it under martial law). Put these carved up territories on a 30 year program to be rehabilitated for candidacy for re-admittance into the Union.

Removing the statehood status of California, due to its deliberate rebellion and attack on the other 49 states, guts the Democrat party in one fell swoop as their representation is removed from the federal Congress.

All other states harboring sanctuary cities are put on notice to shut them down or face the same consequences.

Doing this will preserve the Union of States and its constitutional republic over the next century.
