Victor Davis Hanson: California Goes Confederate

Victor Davis Hanson writes:

“Over sixty percent of California voters went for Hillary Clinton — a margin of more than 4 million votes over Donald Trump.

Since Clinton’s defeat, the state seems to have become unhinged over Trump’s unexpected election.

“Calexit” supporters brag that they will have enough signatures to qualify for a ballot measure calling for California’s secession from the United States.

Some California officials have talked of the state not remitting its legally obligated tax dollars to the federal government. They talk of expanding its sanctuary cities into an entire sanctuary state that would nullify federal immigration law. …

In eerie irony, liberal California is now mirror-imaging the arguments of reactionary South Carolina and other Southern states that vowed to go it alone in 1860 and 1861. …”

This is a very interesting comparison.

Clearly, California is asserting the right of a state to nullify federal immigration laws. It is at the stage where South Carolina was with Andrew Jackson in 1832. This time around though Heartland is the more populated, industrialized region in control of the idea of “America.”

California would lose a Second Civil War. The United States Pacific Fleet would blockade the coast. The polygot multicultural society wouldn’t defend the coastal oligarchy. The wildfires would rage out of control. The water supply could easily be shut down. The coal, oil and natural gas would be shutdown. What would California win its independence with? Hollywood movies? Apps?

Update: Rep. Tom McClintock of California is comparing the Democrats to antebellum nullifiers and secessionists. Could McClintock be a future Parson Brownlow-style loyalist?

Update: Steve Forbes has a big new article on the Civil War 2:

“THE MOVEMENT AFOOT in California to have the state secede from the Union–advocates call it Calexit–is gaining publicity if not support. One poll shows 32% of Democrats ready to vote yes on a pullout referendum. Petition signatures are being collected to get the question of ditching the good ol’ U.S.A. put on the ballot. One secession-advocate group has received financial support from–you guessed it–Vladimir Putin’s Russia. …”

  • This is too good to be true. All of a sudden democrats would never stand another chance on a national level. Then we could build a wall around it and export all of the welfare junkies and minorities.

    • Southernshitlord, think before you speak. Left, right, democrats, republicans: all of it is an irreverent concept. You better get it soon or your children will be running for their lives. California’s seccession is not White-Clalifornia going separate ways. It is the mexico expending its landmass. The idea of dividing the US into separate race-based parts is so retarded. This is not just a fight for White-Ethno State, this is a fight for The Existence of the White Race. Do you think Europe will divide its land based on the race. No, off-course not. And since Europeans will have to fight for every inch of its land, so will we. We have to send all none-whites back home one way of the other

  • Calexit also would set precedent for other states to secede, should we take the route of setting up a separate country committed to White preservation. Once California had gone, the process of allowing other secession-minded states would be that much easier.

  • This needs to be memed into reality. If California took its 55 reliably Democrat electoral votes with it, right-wing control of the US government would be assured. The state is a net tax sink, so nothing would be lost economically. It’s likely a large number of left-wingers would relocate there, thus solidifying right-wing electoral power. And, the state could always be re-taken in war later, during which it could be ethnically cleansed.

    • The struggle for the rest of the nation post-Calexit would be the necessity of expanding our agriculture by many times, and then funneling labor to that agriculture. If we’re honest, that would not be easy without our usual reliance on illegal immigration/ guest workers. I think it would still be worth doing, but the growing pains would be significant.

    • It is time to stop thinking in terms of states, state rights, and such and start thinking in terms of White Race and its Home, and by home I mean all the Western White Countries, every f*n inch of it. We will have to fight for it and you all better get used to this idea.

  • I recall over 15 years ago reading that if we ever tried to start deporting illegal immigrants in California that there would be civil war. Well, it’s long past time to bring it on, as the only alternative is to give the state away to Mexico by default.
