Rural California is divided, armed for revolt. What’s the matter in the State of Jefferson?
The Sacramento Bee ^ | OCTOBER 24TH, 2020 | By Ryan Sabalow, Lara Korte, and Jason Pohl

Redding

Carlos Zapata has a message for any government official who shows up at his Tehama County restaurant and tries to enforce California’s pandemic shutdown orders.

“I’ve made it very clear that if they come to shut us down, I’m going to call 100,000 people that’ll be there with guns, and what happens happens, you know?” Zapata said Tuesday. “I’m hoping that they’re not stupid enough to want that kind of a fight over a restaurant being open, but if they want it, we’ll definitely give it to them.”

It’s not the first time the Red Bluff restaurant owner and U.S. Marine combat veteran has made those kinds of threats. A few weeks ago, he told the Shasta County Board of Supervisors to expect trouble if they enforce Gov. Gavin Newsom’s COVID-19 restrictions on local businesses.

“Right now, we’re being peaceful,” he said in a short speech that has since made Zapata a celebrity among far-right groups. “But it’s not going to be peaceful much longer.”

Just about anywhere else in California, that sort of talk would have been widely condemned. But here, in what’s arguably the capital of the State of Jefferson — a decades-old movement to break off conservative northern counties from Democrat-controlled California — many have shrugged Zapata off as commonplace.

In the land of Jefferson. Northern California and parts of Southern Oregon should have become a separate state of Jefferson, where normal nice people live.

Don't forget we patriots in E. Washington state, we reject everything the Seattle/Olympia fascists embrace. Our law enforcement here also doesn't recognize/enforce any unconstitutional gun laws coming out of Olympia.

Only peaceful way Jefferson would happen is if we got supporters elected to the state senate in other locations to hold enough seats to pass it. we’d need to hold those seats to prevent the d’s from tampering with the process until Congress voted, which could be a long time. This is doable, but it requires a lot of effort that I don’t see happening.

SLO is a cool place, but CA’s gone down. Hope it rises soon as a patriotic part of the U.S.

They chop off San Francisco and Los Angles like a tranny’s dick and call them “New Sodom” and “New Gomorrah”. The rest can remain as “California”.

“Don’t forget we patriots in E. Washington state”

The legislature of every county in the State of Jefferson has voted affirmatively to join.

I suggest you encourage your county to do the same.

Oh no! The yellow areas on the map are California. The blue areas can have some other name once they’re expelled.

Sacramento the California State Capitol, as in:

Sacramento Be Marxist

Which is a colloquial expression in the California State Official Language of Ebonics. It's a play on words, and that imfalamatory headline is exactly what you woud read in a Marxist Newspaper.

Sacramento, using it's sizeable population of non-Americans has used it's Mob Rule control of State Government to run Roughshod over California's Rural Counties of actual Americans for decades now.

That includes CA Northern Counties that would have been Jefferson.

I believe Jefferson will be one of 4 new states if the Dems want DC and PR...

The news STATES: Jefferson, Superior, Adirondacks (Upper NY states plus Litchfield County, Connecticut) and Lincoln (Southern Illinois).

I don’t mind the trees being farther apart than 6 feet, but not half a mile, that doesn’t cut it.

A girlfriend of my wife, brought up in Arizona, went to PA to visit some relatives. "How was it?" "Couldn't see a damn thing with all those trees in the way."

Here’s dementoJoe in action:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/TarrantCountyRepublicans/permalink/2656898054552159/

Tells a union guy that he’s full of $h!t, when union guy asks about protecting his (union guy’s) job and second amendment rights.

PedoJoe goes on to ask “what do you need 100 rounds for?”
