The only time he's worth watching, in my opinion, is when he has Mark Steyn on.
Where will Cali get its water? Where will Cali get it’s fuel and electricity? Where will Cali gets it’s military so it can defend itself in a very dangerous world.
The Calexit leader exposes himself and the movement as truly and anti-American movement. Let the majority of Californian’s vote for Calexit & it’s legislature agree to it. Then we can declare the state in rebellion, declare it’s former state Constitution dead, remove it’s government, and reform it by decree. After a time the residents of California will enjoy the benefits of the old government being gone, and be ready to elect a good government of their own.
The article you cited makes it sound like US needs CA as much if not more than CA needs US, and that any attempt by Trump to cut federal funding wouldn’t really work...
I support CalExit with one condition: existing US Citizens must renounce one or the other nations and new “Kalifornians” will NOT be US Citizens.
We need to stop treating it as just naive. It is a repudiation of the whole historic experiences of Mankind. It should be challenged whenever & wherever it raises its ugly head.
Just looking at the politics, I think national Democrats would be against this.
Trump would have won the election easily, if you back out the popular vote and electoral votes from California. Democrats at the national level need California to be competitive in presidential elections.
this is sort of funny. Leftist types are the ones pushing this Cal Exit thing, but other leftists such as national Democrats have to be strongly against a liberal bastion leaving the union.
I would not be opposed either and they can take Portland and Seattle as well. The left would never win another national election.
And the left vs right rift is getting so bad that a divorce may actually be a good thing.
If California did secede, then what would their residents do for a living? At least temporarily, they would see a massive exodus of “US” companies.
Since the new nation would be based upon a form of Socialism/Communism, the cost of running this new nation would be quite high, while the income quite low?
Ok, so then they could do a “wealth tax” on their citizens right? But their assets, much of it Californian real estate, would have plummeted in value? Besides, the folks being disproportionately taxed may decide to leave to the...USA.
I think the chance of Calexit is less than 1%, but it could happen. If it did, California would probably be a country with some folks very wealthy, a small middle class, but a huge lower class/dependent group. California would wind up resembling ....? Venezuela? Cuba?
We turn an entire state into a third-world shithole full of violent drug cartels and jihadists...Hey, it’s what we do.
The middle class can’t afford California anymore.Why do you think that is?
So go ahead,drive the middle class out and bring the Mexicans in,you will then have Tijuana in california
Yeah, didn’t Pol Pot do the exact same thing by systematically eliminating the middle class and intellectuals? You know, killing those who wore glasses.
Inside every single leftist is ruthless fascist yearning to fulfill his real desire.
“depot = deport.”
No, actually, when talking about California both work just fine...they need both.
250,000 Sikhs in one area.The crime rate must be darn near zero when they’re in town.
Recommendation for your map—a little fine tuning.
Eastern WA and Oregon should be on the US side of the line for sure.
Part of central and eastern CA should be there as well.
Make the leftist empire the shape of Chile!
Build a continuous military base along the border.
Don’t let anyone out/in.
Lease California to China for 75 years.
He’s right on one thing, the middle calss is “fleeing” calipornia! My only comment is WHO is gonna pay for his next wave?-)
