Basically it’d be like having a west-coast Cuba, so we need to make sure we keep access rights to the military bases.

The thing is, if CA seceded, they would take all their debt with them. The new nation state would be broke before they ever got started. Add in the fact that they buy half their electricity from out of state, produce very little of their own oil, and have spent the last 10 years destroying their agriculture industry. California would be completely bankrupt in minutes.
They are already bankrupt because of their own debt and unfunded liabilities. That is without figuring how much of the national debt is their “fair share”. But I am sure when they take down all barriers and have unrestricted immigration from the South everything will get better.
