I wonder what the qualifications are for being a fascist in the liberal mindset. Belief in the free market? Free elections? Limited government? I’d like to hear one of them explain it.

They are incapable of separating their own fantasy from reality. It's like the Big Bang Theory in real life without the intelligent people.

Oh, I dunno.

I say let every coastal county from L A to Marin split off and go their own way.

The rest of California, and the USA as a whole will be the better for it.

I removed all the little kiddie “tech sites” like Gizmodo, Engadget, and Ars Technica from my brower’s bookmark toolbar maybe 8 months ago and have not missed them a bit.

Anyone who disagrees with their agenda to destroy America is a fascist.

They are openly saying they want the opioid epidemic to kill or white people. Genocide is always on the agenda for communists.

Planning their exit? If it were possible, I think most of the rest of the country would willingly expel them from the Union.

I'm just waiting for the "big one" and hoping that somehow Hank Johnson's theory of island geology was actually correct, and California just sails off into the sunset (and then capsizes).

I’d like to pitch an idea for a movie. A bunch of progressives, scared of the “fascism” growing in America, find a bunker to hide in for the next seven and a half years. After numerous Lord of the Flies type episodes, because let’s face it, a bunch of progressives in a bunker would be exactly like that, the survivors emerge seven and a half years later to elect Bernie Sanders, only to find everyone on the outside enjoying life, with good jobs, and generally having fun, having forgotten the progressives even existed.

We’ve done this before. Maybe they should read up on the civil war before they go this route.

THere’s an entertaining novel called PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC about the nation splitting into blue and red states. Of course, the Democrat states quickly become hellholes.

Plot is the lead character is hired to rescue a girl (delusional young person) who went to Californistan and wants out.

Entertaining and highly accurate on how things would play out.

Per Mussolini’s definition of fascism (he coined the term and invented the ideology,) Trump is less fascist than was Obama.

There’s a book from the 70’s called Ecotopia that had a similar premise.

They have it backwards.

Precisely. If anyone has doubts, read "Liberal Fascism" by Jonah Goldberg. They're following the exact pattern set forth by Mussolini and Hitler: destruction of religion, creation of a New Man to live in a Utopian New Global Community where the almighty State is God.

These people are self-deluding fools.

Ironic leftists work to take down Civil War statutes while calling for Civil War 2.

“But Calexit isn’t just a fictional sideways step, however—and not all of it is as relentlessly grim as it sounds. As well as telling the ongoing story of resistance leader Zora and the battle to free California as its own sovereign state, each issue of the comic will also come with insight into real-world political discourse and activism, featuring interviews with activists small and large about what Americans can do to become engaged in the political process in the run-up to important House and Senate elections in 2018. “The first issue features interviews with Amanda Weaver, who is a political organizer with Reclaim Chicago; Lexi Alexander, the director of Green Street Hooligans and Punisher: War Zone, who has been a powerful voice for diversity in Hollywood; and Bill Ayers, a lifelong organizer, activist, and educator who is probably best known for his role in the Weather Underground,” Pizzolo told us. “We focused the interviews on inspiring things people are doing and real actionable steps anyone can take if they haven’t been part of the political process before but suddenly feel a need to participate more.””

This exposes the Emperor. It is Goebbelesque.

California has no shot of becoming a country.Fedgov. would start a civil war before that would happen. For hypothetical amusement, if it were to be, California would would turn into an insolvent country (100 x worse than Greece)colonized by Mexicans and Chinese.

It also amazes me these "Anti-Racists" could not define Fascism nor comprehend that they act like Fascists. The left in America are among the most idiotic.
