Thread: Why #CalExit Will Never Happen

California will never leave the United States.

Neither will most of these Hollywood actors who swore to flee America if Trump became the President.

They don’t need to. They’ve created their own country already, which is heavily dependent on foreign aid (i.e. your tax dollars) from Washington, D.C.

But that didn’t stop California leftist elites from expressing how horrified they are at the election of Donald J. Trump as America’s 45th President.

So much so that the Marxist Progressives who control California’s legislature issued a joint statement on how much they fear our newly-elected President, Donald J. Trump (emphasis added):

California will defend its people and our progress. We are not going to allow one election to reverse generations of progress at the height of our historic diversity, scientific advancement, economic output, and sense of global responsibility.

We will be reaching out to federal, state and local officials to evaluate how a Trump Presidency will potentially impact federal funding of ongoing state programs, job-creating investments reliant on foreign trade, and federal enforcement of laws affecting the rights of people living in our state. We will maximize the time during the presidential transition to defend our accomplishments using every tool at our disposal.

While Donald Trump may have won the presidency, he hasn’t changed our values. America is greater than any one man or party. We will not be dragged back into the past. We will lead the resistance to any effort that would shred our social fabric or our Constitution.

California was not a part of this nation when its history began, but we are clearly now the keeper of its future.

They might do well to heed a warning from FDR: “There is nothing to fear but fear itself.“

Or, more accurately — when you read the implied threats — they have become the very thing they claim to fear.

It’s not Trump supporters that are issuing death threats via Twitter. (Last time I checked, that was illegal, but don’t expect Obama’s Secret Service or FBI to do anything about it.)

It’s not Trump supporters that have worked themselves up into a frenzy in the streets over the peaceful transition of power from one President to another.

It’s not Trump supporters advocating violence all over social media and in the streets.

We’re all at work—working to pay taxes so these loafers can spend the day advocating our murder.

Someone needs to tell them.

No one died.

No one was deported overnight.

No one lost the right to pay for their own birth control.

If you read the fear-laden headlines about women stocking up on IUDs and you don’t read the entire article, you might think Trump was going to ban all birth control, and shut down all the Rite-Aids and Walgreens nationwide.

When the reality is that it’s not Trump’s election that upsets them.

It’s that the election was clearly a referendum on the socialist direction of the past eight years under Obama — and as the beneficiaries of all the “free stuff,” they’re just mad that the party is over.

So like spoiled children, they’re throwing a tantrum.

I guess it’s a good thing that all the angry protestors live in “gun-free“ blue sectors of the country, where they can’t easily get “access” to guns because they seem to lack any self-control.

Maybe that’s why they hate guns so much—because they don’t trust themselves.

Maybe it’s a good thing they’re terrified of guns.

Because when they compare those of us who believe a country should have borders to restrict access, and a Constitution to restrict government, to Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin, calling us fascists and Nazis, what they’re really doing is dehumanizing their “enemy.”

It’s a classic Alinsky tactic. You don’t debate your “opponent”; you destroy your enemy. The enemy isn’t wrong, they’re evil.

They’re so brainwashed, they don’t realize that they and their leftist idols are the incarnation of all the very things they claim to fear.

Why #CalExit will Never Happen?

The weather’s great, the water’s warm, and these protestors love their Marxist Progressive Utopia

With Donald J. Trump in the White House, maybe it’s possible to take back California for Americans. Now, there’s something worth discussing.

Yes, it's time to take back California for Americans, whether they want it or not. California belongs to the United States like all States. It's ours, not just yours. The foreign influence behind these exit ideas are despicable but what's more disgusting than that are the Americans who think they have that right. We've been through that during the slavery period. Funny how it's cheap labor that's always driving this.

STOP IT. Stop being a state that sucks on underpaid illegal labor. Run the illegals out of your state and pay American Workers livable wages to support yourselves.

Judy, California was a great state and it was not foreign influence that has brought it down to what it is now. It was the liberal rejects from across this country. It was never about cheap labor or about a state that sucks on underpaid illegal labor. I blame the far left progressive idiots from across this country for invading California and destroying it.

There is a big difference between Californian's whose families have been here for generations and the newer Californian's.

It was not foreign immigrants that has destroyed our beautiful state, it was fellow Americans bringing their radical ideas.

Calexit backers can begin collecting signatures to qualify for 2018 ballot

Could California really break off from the United States and form its own country? Should it? Sharon Okada The Sacramento Bee

Backers of a proposed constitutional amendment seeking California’s secession from the U.S. can begin collecting voter signatures to qualify for the 2018 ballot, the secretary of state’s office said Thursday.

The so-called Calexit movement emerged within days of the upset presidential victory of Republican Donald Trump, who lost California by nearly 4.3 million votes. A recent Reuters/Ipsos poll showed that nearly one in three Californians support the state leaving the U.S.

Proponents have until July 25 to collect 585,407 valid voter signatures to qualify for the November 2018 ballot.

The proposed measure would strike language from the California Constitution defining the state as “an inseparable part of the United States of America, and the United States Constitution is the supreme law of the land.” If it passed, there would be a statewide special election in March 2019 to ask voters if they want California to become an independent country.

State campaign finance records show that Yes California has opened a fundraising committee but has not reported any contributions. Besides the measure’s long odds of qualifying for the ballot, let alone passing at the polls, any effort by California to leave the U.S. likely would require an amendment to the U.S. Constitution. That would require approval by two-thirds of Congress and three-quarters of the states.

Not signing any petition and it isn't going to happen. Just more cry babies.

Did they not do their homework in school and study the Civil War? The United States will never allow any state to "exit".

There was some noise like this about our state splitting up. It didn't go anywhere either but that one I was more interested in as this state is too large.

It is too large at least by population. But with what Trump's going to do with immigration, the population at least will be much smaller soon.

Officials announce proposal that would establish California as separate nation
