A group of left-wing Californians, frustrated with the recent election of Donald J. Trump as the 45th President of the United States, has filed an application to put a secession referendum — “Calexit” — on the 2018 ballot.
The East Bay Times reports that the group, called Yes California, intends to circumvent the U.S. Congress:
A “yes” vote would trigger a special election the following March in which residents would decide if “California should become a free, sovereign and independent country.”
Another “yes” vote would require the governor of the newly minted “Republic of California” to apply to the United Nations for membership.

He11, CA was invaded and defeated by Mexico 40 years ago. I know, I lived in San Diego then.
That would be a double bonus: the leftists leave the US, and we get a new 50th conservative state.
Where do I donate?
Please hurry and go. I want to quit paying taxes on 3 unbuildable, worthless lots in Santa Cruz that I inherited.
They will just need to take with them their share of the National Debt and Social Security/Medicare unfunded liabilities.
Then the following Spring after the Mexican military takeover of the former state, the US could invade and take it back and set up blessedly lib free provisional government. Sounds like a plan.
'Yes, that.'
After the initial flight, build a wall and require passport and visa to even visit the lower 47!
It would save the US from having to pay for reconstruction after the Big One hits.
The Democrats would never win another national election.
I’m okay with it.
I tend to agree, but I have compassion to that part of California eastward away from the Sodomized Mecca of LA and SF. I’d say put the referendum up to the county level in California and let’er rip. Those contiguous counties east of the coast stay. The rest leave this union along with their electoral votes.
How can I help make this happen?
Should be interesting when they have to pay double for their federal welfare and their state welfare.
Dreams Do Come True!!!

More WINNING!!!
Go Trump !
First thing the new California Constitution will do is ban secession.
1) They leave and become another country
2) They have tariffs placed on all products and services that they export
3) We tax the electricity that they import from the US
4) The Ports of Portland and Seattle expand
5) A wall is built to keep fleeing ‘leftists’ inside this new country
6) Soon they will not be able to feed themselves and will ask the UN for assistance
7) We all rejoice that Republican Presidents will control the country for decades.
Secession? Why don’t we skip all the grief and go straight into Reconstruction because there’s no way the rest of us are going to let you walk out.
Well...
BYE...
Nevada will appreciate all of that extra water to make the desert green.
Now we have to build another fence.
We would have to extend the wall to include Mexifornia’s eastern border.
