A growing number of Californians want to secede from the U.S., according to a new poll by Supporters of California Independence.

Thirty-three percent of the people surveyed were in favor of the idea, the majority of them saying they are progressives or social Democrats.

Agreed it could be a long process. But I don’t think Richmond had much influence in the creation of West Virginia.

I doubt Sacramento would allow sections to break off. In any event a long process.

My question is.. how many divisions can Sacramento muster up to stop those regions from breaking from CA, especially if a friendly USG is in the mood to help?

There would not be a war. Nobody is going to die when they can simply move back to the USA under a treaty of relocation in lieu of secession. Also, Americans will have a opportunity to move to CA from the USA prior to final secession. This will clean out the other 49 of leftist agitators. The self cleaning oven affect.

I truly wish that the US House Republican whip would take a poll among Republican congressmen, to see how many would be inclined to accept California’s petition for secession.

How many were US citizens?

Forget the financial issues, what do the People’s Republic of California do when Mexican forces cross the border? Or narco-terrorists take over the state? Or portions of LA chose to secede pledging their allegiance to Mexico? Or face the fact that a good portion of the state is US federal lands including all the military bases? Will they shoot the state workers burning cars in the streets when they realize their retirements are not funded?

If they were to secede, it would be interesting to see what kind of military structure they would establish to protect their new country. Would the leftist loons out there even allow California to have a military?

“How many in this poll are Mexicans?”

A huge difference between legal citizens and illegal foreign squatters soaking up tax dollars.

What would the Illegals do?

That's the 33% referenced in the article. They're the spies sent by messyco to reconquer kalifornia for messyco. The plan is to make that sewer of a state unlivable and we just won't want it anymore.

They're 98% on their way to that goal.

I live in California and say bring CalExit on.

#1. Removing the left wing liberals and their illegal Mexican voters from national elections will kill the rat party nationwide at the presidential level, and at the $inate level and House level. (See #3 below!)

#2. Then, our president Trump with the backing of Congress will stop any federal $’s from coming into California. That will kill all of their liberal funding and turn Californicator land into a really big bankrupt Chicago!

#3. Calexit will ensure a new state of Jefferson including the conservative parts of California, Oregon and Washingon.

That will give us 2 new senators and a large # of new house members. Remember if there is a CalExit, the national rat party loses two $inators and a 39 rat house members, including Pelosi and Mad Maxine. That will destroy the rats at the national level

The new State of Jefferson will invite a few border or parts of some CalExit counties to join on a probational status.

Then, the new left wing Calexit/Californicator country will make Chicago look like a wonder city re financial and safety wise re behavioral issues.

The streets of SF, Oakland, San Jose and LA will become like a middle east country with the BLMers and La Raza thugs killing each other 24/7 for territory and what little charity remains.

Millions of illegals will run back to Mexico as there will be no financial benefits nor jobs in CalExit. They and their families will become targets of the turf/$ wars in CalExit.

The national Rat party knows about 1-3 above, and they will terminate any key Californians wanting to succeed. Mark Rich happenings will occur up and down California on a regular basis with key rats pushing CalExit to prevent a CalExit.

So bring Calexit on. I will volunteer to get signatures at local Whole Food stores.

Wait until Russia and/or China get involved to “support” their independence.

Naah! It will be the same country meddling in our politics and sending illegals into our country, Mexico.

Of course the rats and rinos don’t want to discuss this issue re Mexico meddling and interferring in our politics!

“What would the Illegals do? Would they stay in the Republic of California and risk bankruptcy...or would the flee to the USA, where welfare benefits would be more dependable?”

There will be no funds for them if we go Calexit.

That and concern about their safety, when the La Raza thugs and BLMers go into turf war in La Raza Angeles, gay Frisco, San Jose and Oakland and turn those hell holes into middle eastern hell holes. LA, Oakland and San Jose now are often free fire zones with their residents killing each other on a nightly basis.

Secessionists should be ridiculed out of power.

Here’s an interesting question:

The 33% are mostly liberals. What if NOT ALL of California wants to secede, but a majority in coastal idiotland wants to secede? Let a hunk of California secede?

How about doing a poll on how many of us want California expelled from the Union?
