If the military was being deployed before for so little reason then hold on to your butts, the entire US military will be thrown in to the mix and California will be treated as an occupied state in no time if they touch the money.

Let's Fucking Do This
stopping paying taxes is one of the essential elements of a "soft secession", one where the state disintegrates from the federation, but not "all at once", but "step by step".
Maybe it was Trump's plan after all to cause a number of states to secede? After all, GOP has talked about Texas' secession for a while, iirc?
His plan to lose his most valuable states? Probably not. He’s just an idiot out of control.

This would be madlad behaviour if it actually happens
The state government isn't involved with collecting federal taxes, so how could this be done?

The guys that are currently restoring confederate monuments would perform a takeover of the state by the federal government. US states no longer share core values, sometimes very hypocritically so.

Hey, now we're even boycotting ourselves!

More seriously:
Welp, I don't see another option than lie down and roll over, but also, if Newsom actually does it, this will basically cause a civil war... or at best a 'Russia is pacifying Chechen terrorists' kind of situation.
Hope everyone has their popcorn / bugout bags ready.
