Title: 'Bad Boys of Brexit' set their sights on splitting California in two
Post by: HAPPY2BME on March 27, 2017, 12:27:04 AM
    Nigel Farage and Leave backer Arron Banks just returned from a trip to California
    They helped raise $1million for a 'Calexit', which would split California in two
    They appear to be pitting the eastern, more rural side of California against the western 'coastal elite' liberals in Los Angeles and San Francisco
    The eastern part of California would more likely vote Republican, giving the party two more senators and electoral college votes for a 2020 election
    The Western side of the state would likely continue to vote Democrat
    The goal is to hold a referendum during the US midterm elections in 2018

Farage and Banks, who led the 'Leave.EU' campaign, appear to be pitting the eastern, more rural side of California against the western 'coastal elite' liberals in Los Angeles and San Francisco in their campaign to split California into two parts

Wouldn't that be great?

Splitting California's socialist west coast away from the rest of the country in the same year as the 9th Circuit Court was finally corrected, and equally divided out as it should have been long ago also?

I can easily see that happening. I've known conservatives in Ca for a couple of decades that have been wanting to split away from the leftist hell-holes.

I have to admit I like the more modern idea of "Sanctuary Cities" better than a total split,though.  That way it would be possible to get all the lefties and other loons gathered in one place,surround them,and starve them to death.

California immigration town hall to highlight state's red-blue divide

By Sharon Bernstein
Reuters March 28, 2017

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (Reuters) - Liberal California was set to square off against conservative elements in the state at a town hall meeting on immigration on Tuesday night featuring the director of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement.

Sheriff Scott Jones, a supporter of President Donald Trump's with strong backing in the region's conservative suburbs, invited acting Immigrations and Customs Enforcement Director Thomas Homan to the public forum.

Democratic officials in the area, which has a population of 2 million and is located about 90 miles east of San Francisco, have opposed the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and are leading a charge in the legislature to fight his policies.

Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg, a former top Democrat in the heavily blue state legislature, and the city council plan to protest the event.

The divide illustrates the complicated politics of the capital region, which straddles where the liberal coast bleeds into the more conservative interior of the state.

Jones in a statement on Twitter said that the goal of the event was to "try and find common ground by reducing conflicting information, eliminating ambiguity and reducing fear by presenting factual information."

The school district said several board members would also demonstrate against Jones and Homan, joining other protesters outside the event instead of coming inside and asking questions. So many groups vowed to protest that the town hall had to be moved to a larger venue.

"The message we’re trying to send is we don’t like bringing the acting director of enforcement for ICE to Sacramento at a time when there’s so much fear," said Alex Barrios, a spokesman for the Sacramento City Unified School District.
