17. There's a Calexit move afoot.

The Twitter page is full of abusers who sneer and scoff and laugh at my state and all the "libtards" and other derisive language.

If we vote to secede, I bet they'd be laughing out the other side of their mouths when they realize WE are a donor state. Out of every $1.00 we pay in federal taxes, we only get 78 cents back. If we secede, that means we can keep our money and not have to keep propping up the red states anymore. California ranks either 5th or 6th in the economies of THE WORLD. I think we'd get by okay, even if trump tries to levy penalties against us or withhold federal funding. FUCK him.

FUCK him.

Just FUCK him.
