In California, Oregon, Washington and most “blue” states a single urban area often creates a larger margin of victory for the Democrat than they won the state by at large. This was true for Hillary in 2016, and Obama in 2008 and 2012. This is truly governing and “taxation without representation”.
The #RustyIrony of “Calexit” is the Lefties desire to secede from the U.S.A. could “start the engine” of “red” counties then seceding from California... and maybe those of Oregon and maybe even Washington following. There are enough “red” counties in each of those states to form a contiguous state border for the long proposed state of Jefferson.

Totally true. I work in Silicon Valley but have a weekend house in the Sierras. Everyone up there is conservative. If California voted to secede, counties like that one would leave California to stay in the US. And given that’s where all the water comes from (for Northern Cal at least)......
Yes and if the new state of California resists the red counties seceding it will be open civil war. Not between California and the Union but between California counties.
A short hot war of city states. As the blue cities and counties fall one after one there will be a mas exodus of liberal trash poring across the border.
We need to start building the wall now!
I like the idea of the State of Jefferson. We saw the signed when traveling south through northern California.
