This will go well for exactly nobody, just like Greg Abbotts border war live action role play.

It is a big bad scene down there, all kink and no safe words.

Patsy Reid 70 years old, Black and retired said she was surprised she did not encounter problems when she voted early this month. Reid cast her ballot for Stacey Abrams in the Georgia Democratic primary but feared that her vote could be discounted given reports of voter suppression against people of color in Georgia.
I had heard that they were going to try to deter us in any way possible because of the fact that we did not  go Republican on the last election, when Trump did not win,Reid said. To go in there and vote as easily as I did and to be treated with the respect that I knew I deserved as an American citizen  I was really thrown back.

Looks like White Americans have finally realised that Black Americans are not the enemy.

No one my age or younger grew up in a dominantly white country. We have seen the white people in this country grow more hateful and useless over time as the rest of the population carries more and more of their water. This is why the republican party seems more and more dangerous and insane to anyone outside their warped bubble.

Orange County is a majority Latino county now, White people are in the minority here, and Latinos are the majority now in the state of California as well. My town was not a fan of Trump, they hated Trump here. We all want to improve relations with Mexico and with Latin America, and we want to expand trade. No one here wants walls.

On the other hand, Reagan was a real Republican here in California and Reagan made all of our immigrants legal so that they could join labor unions and so that they could call the police in the case of an emergency, etc, and the Latinos loved Reagan. And Jeb Bush married a Latina woman he met while helping to build an orphanage in Mexico, and George W. Bush is a good man, the Latinos liked the Bush family.

Racists like Trump are not going to make it in the America of the future.

And ending corruption has to be high on the list in Latin America, we need for the money to make it to the people who need it. Latin America needs honest labor unions, and a good minimum wage, and when I buy coffee from Colombia then some of the money needs to make it into the hands of the workers who helped to grow the coffee in Colombia, etc. The workers need to benefit from being good honest hard working people, and the good people need to rise to the top. And we need good people to rule in Mexico instead of drug cartels.

As we become more Latino in America I hope that we will work together with Latin America to improve life in the Western Hemisphere for everyone.

And guys like Trump and his wall are a thing of the past, those days are gone.

And the Native American Indian Tribes are rising too, the San Manuel Tribe, and the Seminole Tribe, and others are rising, so that is good, the once oppressed people are getting wealthy and are rising.

Salute,

Tony V.

California returning to the jurisdiction of Mexico without firing a shot?

No. Black voting rights organizations are outworking the suppressors.

California returning to the jurisdiction of Mexico without firing a shot?

Declaring sovereignty over your neighboring country due to ethnic, linguistic, or cultural shared heritage between you is not working out well for Russia and would not work any better for Mexico. The US is already in NATO.

California continues to drag the degenerate backward swathes of the country kicking and screaming into a future where they can thrive and live better lives with less idiocy and corruption than currently plagues them.

Stories where people don't encounter difficulty are usually less reported. "Man goes to work, doesn't have accident, enjoys quiet day," is a rarely reported story.  Newspapers have that watchdog role (as everyone since and including Tom Jefferson have noted), and so they try to bring problems to light.  It helps protect we the people, and keep us alert.  Various vote suppression efforts were thwarted in Georgia thanks to that vigilance.

Or the suppression efforts were lies.
Which they were.
Patsy Reid proved that as does the growing numbers of early Georgia voters, breaking records hand over foot.
