CALexit - California Secession...?
metro.co.uk ^ | 9 NOV 2016 | Ashitha Nagesh

That massive blue block on the left – encompassing California, Oregon, Nevada and Washington state – stands out quite a bit against all of the red.

So it may not be a huge surprise that people living in that Democrat-voting block are now looking at other options – specifically, secession.

Since Donald Trump’s electoral victory was first announced, #Calexit has been trending on Twitter, with distraught Californians looking to form their own state.

They could merge with their favorite country, Mexico. I’m all for it. Save us all that disaster relief when the Pacific Ocean swallows them up.

Only good things there are Vanguard and Edwards Airforce range. I’d carve them out of whatever left.

Oh, LA is no better than SF and it is a Hispanic majority for sure.

Look how stupid CA voters are. Look at the crap we CANNOT AFFORD that they vote themselves. Look at our senators. Stupid has a huge advantage here. Scared of Trump because of the oldest trick in the book: oligarchy propagandists decide to call him the oldest name in the book, RACIST, with nothing to go on except him stopping illegal immigration or fake refugee acceptance.

Too bad I own property here. If CA seceded, I’m out.

I might be out anyway, getting sick of 90 degree weather 6 mo a year. Especially in November.

Many counties in California and Oregon as seeking succession from onto a new state just to excape from the Democrat dictators over them. See State of Jefferson movement.

As a native of Washington State, I can say it’s a little more complicated than that. In Wash, and Or. there is a great divide, called the Cascade Mts. The greater population in both states and in Cal. as well, the West side of the Cascades has the larger population centers and where the d’RAT’s have settled. On the East side of the Cascades is where all the agriculture is located with a smaller population. City people tend to vote d’RAT while farmers tend to be conservative Republicans.
This means that if these states want to succeed, the border would have to be along the Pacific Crest Trail on the summit of the Cascade Mts.
Here in Washington we often thought that the State should be two states, West Washington and East Washington. We are so diametrically opposite in social and political beliefs.

You make an excellent point and I completely agree. There are significant differences between Eureka and LA; Bend and Portland; and Seattle and Spokane.

This would mean we never have to save their sorry bankrupt state out again. Let Mexico pay for their freebies and our wall

Totally worth it. Been a poison to US culture and society since the 1980s. Most of the far leftist wacko crap starts in CA and spreads to the rest of the USA
