Californians might vote in 2018 for Secession

Yes California Independence Campaign, a fringe political group that calls for the state to become an independent nation, filed a proposed ballot measure with the Attorney General's Office on November 21, The Sacramento Bee reports.
If it garners the half a million signatures required to appear on the 2018 gubernatorial ballot, the measure would strike language from the state constitution that would help clear a path to secession.
Still, a state holds no right to secede under federal law. Californians would need to pass an amendment to the US Constitution, which requires the blessings of the other 49 states.
The measure would also survey voters on whether a "Calexit" is something that interests them. If a clear majority declares their support for a Brexit-style departure, the state would hold a special election in March 2019 asking voters again if they want California to secede.
In a recent interview with Business Insider, Louis Marinelli, president of Yes California, described the plans as a "double opt-in" process.
Far-fetched as it may sound, Calexit started gathering steam as Californians came to terms with a Donald Trump presidency on November 9. The campaign became a nationwide social media trend in a matter of hours, but has since fizzled.
The movement initially found an impressive backer in Shervin Pishevar, a well-known angel investor. He took to Twitter on election night urging California to become its own nation and offering to bankroll a secession campaign. Pishevar has since walked back those claims.

Such nonsense, but I figure the OT would have some fun with this.

The fake threat of secession has gotten so fricked out and retarded.

Trump is going to charge a premium for any water exported to California. Hopefully they do it before the wall is constructed, so they can be on the other side of it as well.

It would never happen, but if it did, California would be a wasteland. Taxes and the cost of living would be a zillion percent. No drilling would force them to import all their oil and all the homeless and indigent dipshits they sponsor would wreck their welfare state even more than it is now.
I'd love to see it happen just to watch their hell on earth scenario become a reality.

They should let the rest of the country vote on their secession.
