And poll showed One in Three in CA supported Calexit. Are people this ignorant?
Maybe we need a border wall with California?!
It is clear that if California could print their own currency they could make every poor person (and then millions of poor people “immigrating” into the state) rich.
What could possibly go wrong? ;-)
Ignorant or ideologues. CA talks big. I’ll believe CA is serious when it refuses to suck off the federal teat. That would get them more autonomy immediately. Let’s see if they put their money where their mouths are...
I suggest they get rid of any of the conservatives that still live there, then bring in all of the immigrants they want, from foreign lands, along with the illegals in middle America.
Nothing would be more satisfying than watching Hollywood pay for all of this!
In other words, a sort of ethnic cleansing by the left?
“Are people this ignorant?”
This comes from not understanding anything about finance, economics, national infrastructure, trade and international relations, central banking, a federal structure or government, or the need for a military.
How will they create their own currency? Banking system? Defense? Fund anything at all? Do they think they will become some vision of an America that exists in their own lefty collectives?
No. They will become an overrun chaotic state resembling the ME right now with warring factions ripping it apart.
Leave it to the left to do things this way: Break now, fix later (or never) just as long as we have power.
“This is California. We’re not the United States.”
True indeed.
The calidiots had better be ready when Northern CA decides to play the secede game.
Watch the slimy democrats (redundant, I know) change their rules for seceding.
How about we depot “Shanker’ instead?
“Captain, our sensors are detecting a Class 9 Stupid.”
“Class 9?!? That’s impossible!!! The Planet of Hey, Watch Me Do This only ever gets to Class 7 and that’s the stupidest place in known space!”
“Never the less, sensors clearly indicate that the uncharted system up ahead contains Class 9 Stupidity.”
“Is it uniformly distributed?”
“No, it appears to be a byproduct of their education system and is also associated with something they call Political Correctness.”
“Those poor, poor souls trapped with such stupidity.... Well, mark this planet as quarantined and set up satellites to block those entertaining transmissions we were receiving from a few light years back. It’s only a matter of time, theoretically, before they discover Class 10 Stupidity and disappear up their own assholes, assuming they have the conventional arrangement.”
“Yes, Captain. At once!”
Personally, I am in favor of Calexit - 55 Left wing electoral votes, 2 Democrat Senators, and 40+ Democrat reps gone.
They HAVE to get rid of the Middle Class. The Middle Class remembers how things were, they’re the ones who revolt, they’re the danger to the new “Overlords” who will control the new “Serfs”. Poor people don’t revolt, they’ve always been poor and can’t conceive of anything different.
Middle ages European society being revived in California....
Do you really need to ask?
I’ll be standin’ on the border, handin’ out donuts, when they cut that star out of the flag! What an answer to a thousand prayers!
Is Shankar Singam also an Illegal ?
This Calexit stuff is funny. Its thrown out there without any analysis of the real challenges, like:
- The U.S. would likely withdraw their military bases, a huge economic impact.
- California has unsustainable debt which the U.S. will no longer protect or guarantee.
- Most large corporations there are U.S. based, with the bulk of their business sales and operations in the rest of the states. Many of those companies would have to relocate to the U.S. or face additional tax and import burdens.
- The numbers of poor and socially-supported people are unsustainable.
- They dont have enough power to support their state/country, nor the resources to make it.
- The dont have enough water to support their state/country, nor the resources to draw it.
- The population is engaging in their own Calexit, by moving in vast numbers out of the state. These are productive middle class citizens and fed-up wealthy folks. The exodus in unsustainable and would require California to open their borders to immigration even more, creating an even greater burden on their social systems.
These are serious gaps in their plans, which dont seem to rise to the level of discussion, even in these silly interviews. Calexit would be a disaster for California, and would be an amusing collapse to watch.
Ok... so basically Cali wants to become a slave state and secede from the Union, by exporting the middle class and importing cheap labor to serve the rich. How progressive, what could go wrong?
Remember when Texans were depicted as a bunch of tooth-flicking redneck hayseeds for suggesting this when Obama was President?
We need a refund, LOL
I saw most of this interview last night. This guy's brain is not firing on all synapses. He sounded so naive about the unintended consequences and difficulty is separating from the US.
Tucker asked him why the US would allow one of it's states to leave without a military effort to keep it. He claimed everyone hated Kalifornia so why would the US care?
Tucker replied something to the effect that because most of California is owned by the federal government. Only the big, population centers along the coast are liberal. Most of the rest of the state is much more conservative.
Isn't Kalifornia already tens of billions of dollars in debt and digging themselves deeper, with no way out? Makes good sense to get rid of them.
Anyway, this liberal idiot sounded brain-dead most of the interview. But then I repeat myself.
