It’s all political theory and mental masturbation.

California will not leave the union without violence.

Can those of us NOT in California sign the petition also? That way we can make our position known.

California was once part of Mexico. Perhaps they would like to renew that relationship.

Many parts of kalifornia have already, you should see the LA metro area and south San Diego. That is the force behind this as much as rampant liberal mind rot.

Hey, if all the illegals who voted for Hillary sign this they will get MILLIONS of signatures! No ID or vetting needed, of course- that would be unfair. Surely PROOF of residency is not required! So we can ALL sign!!

On second thought, can the elite pick up the payments on all those illegals' US government freebies? Or will they ship them to the US, as Mexico has?

“If all of this sounds very fringe, keep in mind that a recent poll found 32% of Californians supported the idea of secession.”

Do they know they’ll lose their foodstamps?

I’m trying to figure out who is going to be their General Lee, Longstreet, Jeb Stuart and Jackson. I’m sure it is so easy to leave the Union with a bunch of transsexuals troops out of San Francisco and West Hollywood.

Only 55% is required? I’m all for regions that wish to be independent to have the power to peacefully choose to do so.... but sticking 45% of a population with a new government that they didn’t want or choose seems really high. I would think that the requirement should be at least 65%, more likely 75% or higher. A super-majority, at least, for such an extreme course of action.... and maybe also a clause that says that they cannot be readmitted for 10 years, and readmittance would come with numerous penalties and costs.

The Confederacy believed that Great Britain would come to their aid, because they were “King Cotton”. It did not work.

Maybe the Californicators believe that they have King Hollywood, and the moviewatchers of the rest of the U.S.A. would come to their aid???

dems would never let this happen. those 55 baked in electoral votes are their only chance at winning ever again. that being said, GOP could use 55 less electoral votes in the Dem caufer to start.

Maybe they think Mexico will come to their aid because of the guacamole trade? I know it’s not cotton but we have got a Mexican food craze going on. Hmmm...I think maybe the Union is on its heels again!

In the very unlikely event that California secedes, other parts of the country will try to go, too.

It wouldn't be a clean break by any means.

“It’s all political theory and mental masturbation. California will not leave the union without violence.”

I disagree! In an incredible historical lapse of consciousnesses, we have ALLOWED the leftist wacko’s to completely take over the press, academia, entertainment, corporations, etc. This is our LAST GASP of hope to recover, and the odds are against us. More than a hundred million already brainwashed in my estimate, including a majority of those in influential corporate, academic, and media positions. We will never re-educate those already brainwashed from birth. Let the Leftist zombies secede. Kalifornia, New York, etc. Maybe there will be enough left to rebuild some semblance of the former USA. The seceded territories will burn in the riots and chaos inevitable in a populace incapable of producing, and weaned on victimization. The rest of us may resume, and hopefully, survive.

I was going to apologize to our California Freepers, but I am a native New Yorker, and accept the inevitability letting the “lost” just go ahead and LEAVE.
