The budding California secession movement now known as Calexit by some has rumbled around for several years, but just gained more momentum to move forward.
Made of up of leftists who want to turn the Golden State into a socialist utopia, the Yes California group hopes to get enough support to have a ballot initiative to go before the voters in 2018.
The movement began back in 2015 as some voters argued that California isn’t getting its fair share of federal revenue to pay for needed infrastructure and social programs while its taxpayers are sending more than their fair share to other states that don’t embrace the offbeat cultural values of California.
Who knew Californians would embrace the states rights argument that fueled the Confederacy?
Naturally, observers on the other side of the argument may see an upside to California’s departure, given the fact that it harbors illegal immigrants who’ve become a financial burden on the educational and health systems, not to mention a conduit for the flow of criminal gangs and drugs into the United States.

Interesting times we live in.
I do not support it period this has been my home for my life time those who do are absolute fools
Only those who are part of the friends or family of those who stole into our country.
As a native of the People’s Democratic Socialist Republic of MEXifornia, I have no problem with “Calexit” but ONLY if the area affected is the Liberal Stronghold along the Coast from the Bay Area to Mexico WEST of the Coast Range! Every thing EAST of the Coast Range, the Central Valley, the Deserts except for Sacramento and a corridor to the Bay Area,?are to remain in the United States!
Actually, the 2/3 of the population of California, the Leftys, illegals and the Urban Professionally Unemployed all live along the Coast between the Bay Area and Mexico WEST of the Coast Range! THEY are the folks who want to secede and the other 1/3 of Californians would be ecstatic to see them go!

Most likely they’d use currency they are used to…the Mexican Peso!
Who cares it used to be the place to go now it’s Citizens, not the illegal ones are all moving to Texas
Exactly
They must have polled San Francisco and LA. Didnt poll in my neck of the woods!!!!
