SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Donald Trump’s election as president is giving a big social-media boost to an unlikely effort in the nation’s most populous state: a plan to vote on seceding from the union.

The Yes California Independence Campaign hopes to put a question on the November 2018 ballot that would authorize a statewide independence vote for the spring of 2019.

The effort drew little attention until Tuesday’s election, which also kept Trump’s fellow Republicans in charge of Congress and raised the possibility of a conservative shift on the U.S. Supreme Court.

Any effort to get an issue on the ballot requires the gathering of hundreds of thousands of signatures.

California, what a great state. Where illegals vote by the millions and other fraudulent votes occur en masse and if a Republican leads in a race, they keep counting until the Democrat “wins.”

We can help! People across the land can offer encouragement and reassure them that they ill be better off without us.

I hope this works for my old home state. I'd like to see the brilliant liberals who have driven the budget into the mud try to establish their own defense department and armed forces.
