1. It worked so well for them back in the 19th century, didn't it? (n/t)

3. I did not know there was a secessionist movement in California

Cleaveafornia, I can actually imagine California passing a leave referendum.

Would be interesting to watch

Does look like it's real, here is the link http://www.yescalifornia.org

4. Maybe if Trump wins lol n/t

5. I think it is more intra-state...

parts of it want to form their own states. As usual, it is the more rural, conservative areas where it has any traction.

It's more of a breakup movement, not really secession from the US.

8. Looks like it's the whole state. Here is the link.

9. 1.5k likes...

Getting lots of traction.

15. Cascadian secessionist here.

And we'd happily take California from about Red Bluff northwards...the part of the state that regularly (and justifiably) complains the rest of California completely ignores. Pretty good match for us, really.

18. It's not your decision is it?

6. Dear Texas

Proceed.....

10. We don't want to go. I am an American, I am the middle of 5 generations of veterans

1 of which is currently serving. Hell no, we won't go! It takes all 50 states to give us strength. Those who tout disunity are sowing the seeds of massive destruction.

As to the secessionists, they have been around my whole life. Hopefully they will never reach critical mass. If Texas goes I imagine Travis, Harris, Tarrant and Dallas counties will succeed from Texas, ala Jones county, MS and other unionist who lived in the CSA.

7. Believe me when I say

NOBODY in Texas wasn't to secede. It is far from anyone's minds. Anyone that matters, that is. Yes there are a relative handful of nuts that have espoused secession since 1845. But nobody that matters even thinks it's an idea worth expending even an iota of effort on.

11. Maybe they would like it if we sold it back to Mexico

[pinboy3niner]

13. Or the U.S. could just Unfriend the few idiots who support it instead of the whole state

[uawchild]

12. Hmmm,Texas does have its own electrical grid...

Since around the 1940's I think, so OBVIOUSLY this Texit scheme has been in the works for a long time.

16. NO WE ARE NOT!

Only harps we are thinking about are mouth harps.

17. Would be ok with me.

Any similar such talk in Florida?
