#2I support #Calexit and I hope this will not just be saying and playing. Trump is a successful businessman and he knows strategy very well. He must already have plans for those protestors, so for those who are really serious about this issue, we should not give in easily.

#3This would probably kick off a trend if it were successful here. None of the other blue states would be satisfied with the loss of our progressive electoral college voting bloc. It'd put Republicans in the awkward position of denouncing the progressive left's sudden support of states' rights.
California, on the other hand, would continue to be a terrific place to live.
Preliminarily I would consider supporting #Calexit

Don't want to sound like an extremist, but I do support #Calexit. The economic impact of California is tremendous not only for US but for the whole world, therefore, it's a great bargaining power against Trump.

Yeah, till the other states take the water rights away. Or the conservative sierras secede in turn and then you have no snowmelt either.
But really, this is ill-advised. It's the same thing in Alaska when they don't like the winner -they whine. People don't realize that as LatAm immigrants assimilate into the fabric and Americanize, they tend to drift conservative, so be careful what you wish for.
Also, remember, once California's electoral college is disbanded, goodbye democrats for what, 40, 50 years in the rest of the states? For this reason democrats in the other states would be against it --they'd lose their California democratic bank (monetarily, electorally and congressionally)

I don't even live in California and I support Calexit. I'd also support the entire northeast from Virginia to Maine seceding. Though I guess PA wouldn't be on board with that any more.

#7States cannot legally secede unilaterally, and there's a no chance in hell Congress would approve. Unless you're willing to form a militia against the US Army that surely would be sent in--which, ironically for California, is more difficult because of the stricter gun control. (Reason had a great headline yesterday--something like, "Trump's election makes liberals realize appeal of limited government.")

#8I was going to say, this is crazy it will never happen. Like the UK leaving the EU, the cubs winning the World Series, or Trump getting elected, this will never happen either.
Then I realized this is the year that anything could happen so...

#9The same effect could be gotten with less federal government and massive expansion of states rights... Irony.

If you are an American and a true patriot you cannot support Calexit. We need everyone in this together for the future political battles to come. Isolation will not help anyone.
