Will California secede from US following Trump's election?

A proposal for California to secede from the United States was submitted to the Secretary of State’s Office Thursday.

The proposed “Calexit” initiative - its name borrowed from the UK's "Brexit" departure from the EU - would ask voters to repeal part of the state constitution that declares California an inseparable part of the U.S.

A recent poll found that one in three California residents would support a possible secession from the U.S. due to their opposition to President Trump. No mention has been made of the president in the proposal.

If the proposal qualifies for the ballot and is approved by voters, it could be a step to a future vote on whether the state would break away from the rest of the nation.

Secretary of State Alex Padilla said the group behind the proposal, Yes California Independence Campaign, was cleared to begin attempting to collect nearly 600,000 voter signatures needed to place the plan on the ballot.

"In our view, the United States of America represents so many things that conflict with Californian values, and our continued statehood means California will continue subsidizing the other states to our own detriment, and to the detriment of our children," the Yes campaign's website says.

PLEASE, God make this happen.

Remember when California moonbats laughed at Texas for talking session?

Do we really want another third-world nation on our doorstep?

Haha!! Hot air!! We could only be so lucky.

One on one trade deals line by line. This move would assuredly have given President Donald J Trump and overwhelming "popular vote" victory.

And then watch NY, New England, Oregon, Hawai'i, Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, NJ, Washington follow in short order.

Then watch conservative states like Texas and Alaska do it for their own purposes. Oh and Utah too.

If they let California go, the NE + NY would follow immediately and then....who is going to pay for all the subsidies to the red states?

---

Expect Nevada to follow California. And Arizona too. Those states need California more than they need Oklahoma.

As likely to happen as me banging a super model tonight.

You gotta give some kind of warning before you do this. Now I have to clean coffee off my monitor. But thanks for the laugh. This may be your best one yet.

I'm not on board. Just pointing out how this would work in practice. Also, massive problems WITHIN states. Houston and the RGV and Austin would try to seceede from Texas. Some crazy in Tule County would start a fight with the California folks. Miami/FLL would try to secede from Florida.

34% of welfare recipients live in California.

12% of the population live in California.



Later.

I wonder if California will have open borders?

But I thought he would not divide us
