Now, think about the vast majority of engineers in the state of CA (and probably MA and WA too) being absolutely ripshit livid at fascist theocrats trying to take over.

The rest of the country won’t like it when they can’t buy any iPhones or go on Facebook or have internet or cell service or basically any modern convenience enabled by connectivity.

Try it. See what happens. We’ll bring the internet across the country - and if necessary, the world - to its knees. You do not want to fight IT. We will burn this Tower of Babel to ashes before we submit to a fascist theocracy.

Sadly, in that circumstance I don’t see California faring well. We need to do everything we can to prevent it from coming to that.
