If you could kick one state out of the Union

Texas.

I wouldn't have to hear how much better Texas is than everywhere else, when it's really not much better.

Thought about Texas—then if they really are so much better, they won’t be dragged down by everyone else and I could move there

New York probably could after a rough adjustment period.

What state had the highest percentage of Trump voters? That would be my vote, lowest common denominator and stuff.

Hawaii and/or California will fall into the ocean before this.

That is not how the plates work in CA. Hence the Sierras. The coast is moving closer to the east.

You are stuck with the west coast fellas.

No. The San Andreas is a slip-strike fault. The Pacific plate is moving to the northwest, while the North American plate is moving to the southwest. In a few million years, LA will be in Oregon.

Also interesting is that when there is megathrust activity at the Cascadia subduction zone, the coast will drop a couple of meters. Researchers have discovered ghost forests and marshes indicating a geologically recent one in 1700 AD.

So, I suppose that Portland, Vancouver, and Seattle could sink in the next few million years, and LA might be where they once were.
