I think they need something like 2 million votes to get the measure into the ballot. I do hope they get it. And I think they will be successful since probably everybody and their mother, legal voter or not, will get his or her say.
Do lock the borders the moment the resolution is approved by the voters and realize that they are going to lose a lot of Federal benefits plus they will actually have to work creating a new country. I don’t even want to imagine what’s gonna pass for their constitution… but it will be fun to watch.
I would only ask that the remains of John Wayne be returned to America.
As a Californian I actually welcome this. We enjoy a Democrat SuperMajority in Everything and are rapidly swirling the drain based on our Progressive ‘Values’. We have reached a point that forming our own country will expose us for the laughing stock that we have become.
To be fair, the rural areas in our state are actually quite conservative. It’s the liberal, sanctuary shitholes in the Bay Area, Sacramento, and the Greater LA Basin that wield the only power in the state.
Last I knew, the north half was interested in breaking off, staying with the U.S., and being called the state of Jefferson.
BUILD THE WALL!!! BUILD THE WALL!!! BUILD THE WALL!!! BUILD THE WALL!!! BUILD THE WALL!!!
Imagine if this somehow came to pass. US Customs along with the Border Patrol take all of their personnel from the California border with Mexico and move those people to new border stations along California’s American borders. The bleeding heart government never bothers to replace them. I’d give the new nation all of 2 months before it devolves into a complete banana republic. Only thing that would make it unpleasant to witness is knowing about all the good folks living in rural areas and the new hell they’d be confronted with.
I’d encourage people to sign, but the kind of Californians I end up talking to aren’t the ones causing the problem.
Here’s what we should do:
1.) Let them secede.
2.) Pull all US military forces out.
3.) Wait about a week and then invade them in the name of national security
4.) Split California in to two separate states: Northern California and Southern California
5.) Sell Southern California to Mexico for $1
We wouldn’t even have to change the flag and we would rid ourselves of the cesspool that is the lower part of California.
Not to mention you would take away 55 sure fire electoral votes for the Democrats every presidential election (Which is the real reason, they ain’t going anywhere. The Dems need them too much on a national level.)
Just gonna say what everyone’s thinking here.
They’re gonna drown in Mexicans. *mic drop*
Kenny over at KDMYLA had a pretty solid take on why it’ll never happen.
– They have no water of their own.
– Fed.Gov will not leave/lose control of all those military bases and ports.
and so on.

I think it’ll be an interesting test case, though. Remember that the government has sent troops in to collect whiskey taxes… you don’t think the military would be send to CA to “keep them in line”?
I’m curious to see… if CA gets away with it and actually, constitutionally leaves the union, I be TX will try it..
Calexit will probably go the way it happened with India when they got their independence: They will realized that they did not have the people to run the country and had to call the Brits back to do it undercover.
