New comic Calexit sees California rebelling against President Trump
Entertainment Weekly ^ | July 12, 2017 | Christian Holub

The presidency of Donald Trump has certainly been eventful so far. The day after Trump was inaugurated as the 45th President of the United States, millions of Americans took to the streets to make the Women’s March one of the biggest protests in the country’s history — and that energy has not yet subsided. Liberal opponents of Trump proudly declare themselves “The Resistance,” as if they were fighting the Nazi occupation of France. Constituents have been storming Republican town halls and Congressional offices to protest the Trump-led Republican Party’s new health care proposal, while so-called “antifa” protestors have more violently confronted Trump supporters on the streets. The country has rarely felt so divided.

Don’t worry: It can get worse! Calexit, a new comic from Black Mask Studios, portrays a near-future world in which the state of California is in open rebellion against the Trump-led U.S. government. Militants clad in black bloc openly clash with federal troops to defend immigrants, painkiller addiction is widespread, and environmental decay is clear. Writer Matteo Pizzolo and artist Amancay Nahuelpan combine these elements to create a dystopia that feels far closer than many readers will probably be comfortable with.....

About as relevant and meaningful as a video game.

How are the (pro-) Obama comic books selling these days?

Whether by the name Calexit or California Republic, it's clearly the same first step toward Atzlan. But Americans are forbidden to speak of either the Mexican governments extensive and extended interference in American politics or their Reconquista invasion by illegal aliens.

This article summarizes that the Trump administration is a failure because liberals are acting like out of control nutjobs.

Fine. Give them what they want. Ever see Escape From New York? Cut off California from the rest of America. Barricade and booby-trap all roads and highways in and out of the place. Blockade the ports at San Diego, L.A. and San Francisco. Send drones patrolling the deserts at the state lines. Ban all air traffic flying over the continental U.S. from entering California. Cut off all power from Hoover Dam and other outside utilities.

They'll be crawling back on their knees in a month.

Well bye. In reality I would be quite pleased. Let them leave and also become members of NATO. We will protect them if they pay their fair share.

Let them declare themselves independent...

Then the US will find them a hostile neighbor...

At which point we will attach, wipe out the threat, then take possession

Sounds like a solid plan

A Calexit would be awesome. Suddenly, all those Congressional seats and Electoral College votes would be out of the equation and the ship would right itself. Then all the Dems in California would be left to squabble among themselves. All the big bases would remain under Federal control.

NWIH will the DNC allow a Calexit.

Exactly. It hasn’t been “eventful” just because liberals have been screaming like children.

Let me explain...if you CALEXIT...you lose all Federal funding to support your Illegals and have to pay for it yourself. You lose your Liberal Electoral votes, and there will never be another Democrat President. GO ON! LEAVE!

Video games are very relevant to the generation that will be in charge of this country in 10-15 years...if we last that long. Best stop discounting the relevancy of video games and see them for what they are: one of the biggest influences on the generation that will be sitting on the death panels in 2035.

Again, IF we last that long.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Let them declare themselves irrelevant to a sane, prosperous and free America.

I think a Magnitude 10 should do the job.

Coming ad in the Las Vegas News:

“Special: Beach front property available NOW in western Nevada. See the sunny Pacific from your own front porch.
Porpoises and whales returning to their ancient homes.
Boat anchorage available for a slight fee.
Liberals need not apply. You ruined one once great state. You’re not going to get a chance to destroy another one.

If they try it there’s going to be a lot of people in CA fighting against them. The people of California have been disenfranchised thanks to illegal immigration created by unelected judges. If they take the next step of rebellion then they better watch their backs.
