'Calexit' supporters plan to convert half of Cali into 'autonomous Native American nation'

Organizers of a long-running initiative to secure California’s secession from the United States now say they want to give away nearly half of the state, including all of its federal land, to form an “autonomous Native American nation.”
“Calexit,” as the proposal for California’s secession is known, was given the green light by the state government earlier this year to begin collecting signatures to place the measure on the November ballot. Advocates had until mid-October to gather 365,880 signatures of registered voters to put it up for a statewide vote.
But the revamp announced by Calexit’s founders on Tuesday adds an additional objective: constructing “the first ever autonomous Native American nation in North America,” by giving Native Americans all federal lands in the state, running from the border with Mexico to the state boundary shared with Oregon.
quote:
“Why not do something to right some of the wrongs of the past to the Native American people, and give them back their land?” Calexit co-founder Louis J. Marinelli said Tuesday.
Because most of the federal land would include conservative-leaning portions of California, the plan also would create a “buffer zone between Donald Trump’s America and the new independent California Republic,” another co-founder of the initiative, Marcus Ruiz Evans, said in a statement.
Speaking to Fox News, Marinelli said the plan wouldn’t be unduly disruptive to Californians.
“It will have a minimal impact on the California population, two-thirds of which lives in a county on California’s shore,” Marinelli said.
He added that Calexit organizers will continue their fight even if Democrats make big gains in the upcoming midterm elections.
Just how many times do they plan on doing "Calexit"? - FoxNews

Is the Eastern half of California considered the shittier half that's mostly desert?

Im a fan. Let them try their socialist experiment they're so adamant on trying.
This world was a better place when everyone saw what communism did to a vast empire. It would remind everyone of the dangers of giving the government too much control.

What is this supposed to accomplish? They do realize the state will end up with fewer electoral votes, right?
And this notion that the state can give away federal property is laughable.
We should just go down to 49 states and kick them out. Get rid of NY too. And TX needs to pass a law forbidding CA residents from relocating to TX.

Nice gift.
The lands they highlight are already a shitehole and the poorest in the State.
Hey great, we get crappy property again!
Is this 1851 all over again?

Awesome! Can't wait to slap some tariffs on the Republic of California.
Looks like Mexico (North) will be paying for the WALL after all...

The eastern half of California is g@ddamn beautiful. Breathtaking. Visit the valley between the Sierras and Whites (Around say, Independence or Bishop) and then up to the Mammoth Lakes area and into Yosemite. You're welcome in advance.
Lots of family there from Barstow to Tahoe. Yes, there's a lot of desert too but what isn't desert is spectacular, and the inhabitants are generally very conservative. It's the better half of the state.

And there's a reason for that.
Nobody wants to live on the property you are gifting.
Hey, we just bought you a desert! Now thrive!

I dont see how California wont turn Republican in the next 10 years. Democrat policies in that state are insane

Marxists never change. They’re “giving away” property that’s owned by others and making it look like they’re generous.
For those who are fans of this plan, reply with your address and I’ll send some NOLA homeless to live there because I’m so f**king generous.

I noticed they give the Natives barely 1 mile of all that beautiful oceanfront land.

If I owned any of that property and saw the map in the OP, I’d be cleaning and loading every weapon I own, and buying more.

Some of it but not all, especially up north. Hell, there's 6 or 7 national parks in that area. Screw giving it away.
