Please, God, make it happen

Californians apparently are hoping for the next best thing to the state falling into the ocean:

Activists who want California to leave the United States have filed papers to set in motion a process they hope would end with Golden State voters deciding whether to secede in 2021.This is the second attempt at a “Calexit,” as supporters call their effort. The first measure died last year during the signature-gathering process.
Secession supporters, who say the Trump administration is specifically targeting their state, will begin gathering signatures to qualify a ballot question in 2020. That initiative would ask voters whether to hold a secession vote — and, if it passes, that vote would take place May 4, 2021.
The secession vote would instruct the state legislature to formally declare California’s independence from the United States.

I should say something here, but I really don't want to jinx things. Hoping for the San Andreas Fault to finally go apeshit and send half  of California into the ocean -- thank God, it would be the lefty half -- hasn't worked. Sure, it will eventually, but likely not soon enough. But if California cheerfully becomes the Republic of California -- hey, guys, see you later.  And for all of you Constitutional illiterates who think the American Civil War -- properly known as the War Between the States, as a civil war involves a divided nation rather than two related but separate nations -- put an end to the notion that a state could secede from the Union, I offer two things. First, read the Constitution. Yes, a state can secede. Second, please note that every state that joined the Confederacy had to be readmitted to the Union. If they lacked the right to secede and thus never left, why would that be necessary? Yeah, California can secede, and no one would ever vote to readmit them.

Too much to hope for.
