As Donald Trumps shock election victory reverberated around Silicon Valley late on Tuesday night, some high-profile technologists were already calling for California to secede from the United States.
The broader west coast is a stronghold for the Democrats, and significantly more politically progressive and racially diverse than large swathes of central US. California is also the biggest economy in the US and the sixth largest in the world with a gross state product of $2.496tn for 2015, according to the IMF.
The campaign for independence variously dubbed Calexit, Califrexit and Caleavefornia has been regarded as a fringe movement.

Remove illegal and fraudulent votes and Trump wins the popular vote.
Pishevar is an Iranian POS who would be dead if not for the United States.
True to his heritage, he wants to dismember the country that 13 generations of my family sacrificed for.
The SOB should be tried as an enemy alien and then dumped back in Iran after a long stint at Gitmo with his buds.
That’s so 1860s, Democrats already did this.
and it will be the death of the Democratic Party
PLEASE! Don’t let the door hit you on the way out!
Or, when they come to us for energy, we can sell them just coal.
How much of the $20 Trillion Debt would they have to take with them ?
Oregon builds a wall at its southern border and boats trying to cross Lake Tahoe have to be stopped and sent back to Kalistan.
If they were really serious about this they’d propose a constitutional amendment to let them leave. The strategy they’ve chosen can’t succeed and they know it.
Please hurry and go.
Well bye.
Can we go to war against the country of California and then take it back once we’ve slaughtered them?
BTW California, can you take New York and Illinoying with you? Pretty please?!
What remains of the US will probably provide monetary support to keep your people from starving (it’s what we do, and you won’t be able to handle it yourself). But otherwise, feel free to try to make on your own!
make it*
Keep the good work California, see if you can get ahead of Venezuela down the toilet
...Remove Californias votes and Trump would have won the popular vote...
It’s not California’s votes. It’s primarily Los Angeles COUNTY.
One California county and New York gave her the popular vote. No wonder fringe lunatic liberals want to end the Electoral College.
We’ll be at war with them within 30 years, maybe much quicker. Otherwise, I would love to save the money.
Since the Marxist’s are this upset and determined to leave the US, Maybe CONGRESS should ABOLISH THEIR STATEHOOD and let it revert back to a TERRITORY of the US
I want them to leave but that land is ours.
Hard to believe someone born in 1860 through 1865 could be a participant in "the insurrection."
