More Californians dreaming of a country without Trump: poll

One in every three California residents supports the most populous U.S. state’s peaceful withdrawal from the union, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll, many of them Democrats strongly opposed to Trump’s ascension to the country’s highest office.

The 32 percent support rate is sharply higher than the last time the poll asked Californians about secession, in 2014, when one-in-five or 20 percent favored it around the time Scotland held its independence referendum and voted to remain in the United Kingdom.

California also far surpasses the national average favoring secession, which stood at 22 percent, down from 24 percent in 2014...

Wouldn't that be wonderful? Peacefully splitting the country into two countries... We'd be so happy to see them go, we'd be crying on the border, "Oh thank YOU God for delivering us from evil..."
