CALEXIT: THE 'YES CALIFORNIA' INDEPENDENCE BID RETURNS ON VALENTINE'S DAY TO DIVORCE AMERICA

No, President Donald Trump did not inspire California to secede from the union—but he sure made the proposal a whole lot more popular, says the Yes California Independence Campaign leader Marcus Ruiz Evans.

"Suddenly Trump gets elected and everyone wants to hear what we’re saying. Suddenly we're not crazy," Evans told Newsweek. "Trump is not the problem; he is a symptom. We have said this from the beginning. What kind of people elect a man like that? What kind of people allow that person to run? He would never be a candidate and he would never be elected in California."

The push for California's exit from the U.S. started under President Barack Obama when Evans and his co-founder Louis Marinelli realized the California economy was losing a disproportionate amount of money to the federal government. He sensed a schism between the West Coast culture and the rest of America—the kind of "systemic problems" that meant the U.S. government was not good for California.

These people are traitors. Our goal should be to crush them and their technology.
