We're stuck here in the midwest all by ourselves since Wisconsin and Michigan went over to the dark side.

should get together and get out. We are some pretty strong states and could screw the Corporation Of Trump up really well.

From His Home in Russia, #Calexit Leader Plots California Secession

On paper, the leader of the California secession movement lives in an apartment complex near San Diego’s Golden Hill neighborhood. But in reality, the Calexit campaign is being run by a 30-year-old who lives and works in a city on the edge of Siberia.

Louis Marinelli heads the secessionist group Yes California. Following the election of Donald Trump to the presidency, the organization has gone from an unknown fringe group to one discussed seriously in mainstream media.

What has not been discussed as prominently is Marinelli’s deep ties to Russia.

A former right-wing activist from Buffalo, New York, Marinelli first moved to Russia almost a decade ago. He studied at St. Petersburg State University, the alma mater of Russian President Vladimir Putin. He returned to the United States to campaign against LGBTQ rights as part of the National Organization for Marriage.

Cal-Exit is part and parcel of the "special operations" war being waged to destabilize and tear apart the USA.

Because we'd need our own functioning government, we'd need a national treasury, we'd need a military, we'd need about a million other things to make it work.
