California is a part of America. But it’s no longer American. It is a foreign state. It is a fugitive state. The U.S. Constitution and the rule of law no longer apply in California. Call it, “The People’s Socialist Republic of California.” It’s a state without a country. But it’s certainly no longer American in any way.
Liberals in California want to secede. They are trying to put it on the ballot. They call it “Calexit.” I say, “Glory Hallelujah." Let’s help make it happen. I propose 63 million Trump voters join the team. Let's work 24/7 to turn their dream into a reality!
Millions of illegal aliens live in California; drive in California with official state-issued drivers’ licenses; and of course, use those licenses to vote in California. Millions. That’s precisely how Hillary won California by over 4 million votes.
California supports illegal aliens over legal, law-abiding American citizens. They support illegals getting free college tuition, while children of native-born Americans pay full fare. They support illegals over police and ICE. Many liberals in California want to abolish ICE. They want no borders and no immigration law.
The Attorney General of California has warned any business owner who cooperates with ICE will face prosecution by the state of California. You heard correctly. California will put the business owner in prison, for cooperating with federal law, to protect the criminal breaking the law.
The Mayor of Oakland famously played Paul Revere to warn illegal felons “ICE is coming. ICE is coming.” The Feds report over 800 felons evaded arrest because of that stunt. How many legal, law-abiding, native-born Americans will be robbed, raped, or murdered in the coming weeks because of that act of sedition?
A California judge just sided with the ACLU and barred LA County from enforcing gang restrictions that dramatically lowered crime. California has once again sided with hoodlums and gang-bangers over the law-abiding taxpayers.
In Oakland, a coffee shop prohibits employees from serving police, in order to create a “safe space” for their customers. Californians hate and distrust police more than illegal felons and thugs who speak no English and wear gang tattoos. Really.
All of this is sheer madness. But California has taken it to a whole new level.
Just this week the California Senate appointed the first-ever illegal alien to an official statewide post. Lizbeth Mateo, a 33-year old illegal alien-turned-attorney, will serve on the official state committee that doles out money to illegals attending college. In California, illegals now decide how taxpayer money is spent.
President Trump loves to brand (see "Crooked Hillary"). Let’s brand California. It’s not a “Sanctuary State.” It’s a “Fugitive State.” It’s a place that chooses to let felons and fugitives run free. It’s a place where the rights of criminals are far more important than protecting legal, law-abiding American citizens who pay taxes. We are the second class citizens in California.
Here’s the way to fix the problem. Liberal Californians want to secede. I'm joining the movement. How about you?
Conservatives should beg California to secede. We should make it easy for them. We should help pay for it. Pass the hat. Every conservative should chip in $20. I’ll throw $1000 to get the ball rolling.
Just think of elections. Without California, Trump and all future Republican presidential candidates would win, without breaking a sweat. Without California, we’d easily win the popular vote. And we'd win the electoral vote by a landslide.
Next think of Congress. California has 53 House seats. Democrats lead 39-14, for a net gain of 25 seats. Send California packing and the GOP gains a 25 House seat lead. We would dominate the House for decades to come.
And of course, the GOP would gain an automatic two seats in the Senate through the subtraction of California. As it stands now, those two U.S. Senate seats are deep blue Democrat forever. But if California secedes a 51-49 GOP lead instantly moves to 51-47.
If 63 million Trump voters just gave an average of $20 each to the "Calexit movement" that’s over $1.2 billion dollars. That’s enough money to help California secede, with enough left over as a down payment on building a wall…
with California.
I can’t imagine that the national Democrat party would want this. Democrats have 55 automatic electoral votes from California.
If California was no longer part of the US, Trump would have won the election by comfortable margins, in both popular and electoral votes.
I find it hard to believe that Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and company, would want to see California leave the union.
Socialism is a gangrenous infection that spreads over borders. If CA goes the way of Venezuela, eventually it spread to OR and WA, and then go east from there.
They will run out of money and fall into a deep societal pit, but they will not learn from it.
If you could put up a wall and allow no people or resources to cross into CA, then we could let it go. But we cannot insulate them from the rest of the country.
I am leaving California in two days. I can’t wait to get out.
Start throwing CA politicians in jail, dry up Federal funding for social services, and crack down on all illegal immigrants (I don't give a damn how old they were when their parents brought them here illegally).
I’m for it. But the liberals will catch on and stop it.
It’s not even constitutional. But, hell, nothing today is, so....
Every state is sovereign and never agreed when they ratified the constitution to bind themselves forever. In fact three states including the then two largest and most powerful ones, New York and Virginia, expressly reserved the right to unilaterally secede. Nobody at the time even claimed that this rendered their ratification of the constitution thereby defective. Under the comity principle, every state understood itself to have the right to unilateral secession.
The union is voluntary. Government derives its legitimacy from the consent of the governed.
If California wishes to leave, let them go.
Split the state. Let the right side stay as California and dump the western half in the ocean. They can pay for their own catastrophes too!
They have to pay us for their part of the national debt and all the land, and then the borders are CLOSED.
Suppose Lincoln had done this in '61?Bad idea. Route to national self destruction.
It’s moving in that direction. Now any Ca drivers license (including those for illegal aliens) allows one to vote.
Good - if they take their share of the national debt with them, which is $3 trillion.
Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi could be King and Queen of California...:)
Why don’t we try enforcing election laws so that only citizens can vote in California? As it stands we are allowing the Communists to disenfranchise California’s legitimate electorate by flooding the state with illegal alien voters.
One of George Soro’s fondest dreams is to destroy this Republic by having California secede. (I’m astonished by how many people on this board want to help him!)
By the way, California with all of it’s resources won’t become part of Mexico. China and the U.N. will seize control of it within minutes of any secession.
California will become a US possession the moment it trys to secede. That means they loose all voting privileges in the US legislature.
Federal military ports and bases in the state will not be given away or abandon.
This is a fight that California liberals are going to lose.
“Socialism is a gangrenous infection that spreads over borders. If CA goes the way of Venezuela, eventually it spread to OR and WA, and then go east from there.”
How do you think that CA was taken over by Commies? They came probably from your state ( if you live in the Northeast). As for Oregon and Washington, it’s the same story there. The liberal trash from the Northeast, after $hitting in their nests where they were born, headed West, bypassing “flyover country” and showing up on the shores of the Pacific. Then you add in the Asian Marxists that floated in from Japan, China and other Far East $hit holes, and you arrive at where we are today.
As for running out of money here, it can’t happen soon enough to suit me. The fact that now “Californians” are moving back to the Midwest is just more of the same impetus that caused them to come to CA in the first place. They’ve managed to $hit up their nests here, so with their teepee’s full of $hit, they’re on the road again, maybe to settle near you.
As does NH.. and in the state constitution is article 10 the right of revolution
It wouldn’t “destroy” the union. It would simply have been smaller. The original 7 seceding states not even the states of the Upper South which seceded after Lincoln chose war ever proposed to interfere in what kind of relationship Wisconsin wished to have with Vermont or any of the other states which remained in.
If anything, letting the original 7 go in peace would have sent a clear message that the federal govt dare not grow too oppressive lest other states choose to leave. Additionally it would have meant the rapid collapse of slavery in the seceding states (and maybe even the states which still had it that remained in?) since all a slave would have had to do to gain his freedom would have been to cross the 1500 mile border. States that were no longer part of the US would not have been covered by the fugitive slave clause in the US constitution since they were no longer part of the US. Lincoln himself pointed this out repeatedly and nobody could dispute it.
