Sorry wasn’t trying to imply “California must go it on its own, it’ll be better off.” Just that the feds can’t just force California to do things because California could absolutely cripple the United States single-handedly.
Like, if Louisiana tried to fight the feds they’d instantly be under complete occupation and the US as a whole wouldn’t even notice. If California does it, the entire country’s economy shuts down, grocery store shelves fo empty, and it would take a large scale invasion to retake control.
The feds can absolutely force California to do whatever the feds want. There is not a snowball’s chance in hell of any of the institutions or the political establishment in California putting up real resistance. The most they will do is what they are already doing which is try to score political points by saying shit that they think makes them sound “tough” to their voters. When push actually comes to shove all of them will fold like Origami.
