The West Coast is well aware. I really can't see anyone in the US not being aware of our country's wannabe fascist status, even though some will plead ignorance. I'm kind of hoping maybe Oregon, Washington and California will get together and ask Canada if we can join them... with a probationary period of course. No one in their right mind can trust us outright at this point.
No thanks, our conservatives are further to the left than your Democrats, and California has the population of the rest of Canada combined. You can make your own country
I agree about the Democrat party, but I wonder if the regular people of those states aren't closer to Canadians in their views. If they were to join I imagine the existing party wouldn't carry over and new ones would need to be organized.
Yea plenty of people in the south are aware too, things aren't "hidden" this isn't north korea or turkmenistan.. yet. As someone else said we've known this is what they want to do for a few years now.
For most of the democratic world, the US Democrats are right wing, like Canada, Australian mainstream. conservatives are to then left of the Democrats..eg it was Australians mainstream right wing party that brought in compararively draconian gun laws (by US standards)
Maybe if us west coasters make life a living hell for Shitler, he'll sell us to Canada. Just tell him it's a good business deal. He's so dumb he might just do it.
Please, Canada! WA and OR would make a lovely drive on your way to CA! We know they're the big prize but take us too! ๐ญ
Shitler would never let CA go.
CA is the forth largest economy in the world. It would humiliate him to let CA leave the union.
Those three states would more than double the population of Canada and overwhelm their political system. I wouldn't do that if I were them.

While CO put Lauren Boebert on the world stage, we are generally down to ignore federal authority. Rember when marijuana was illegal? Unfortunately that would require getting Montana, Idaho and/or Nevada on board. Seems unlikely.
