I VOTE YES ON CALEXIT!

[Eric the Green]

Democratic presidents have always been very willing to help Republican states like Oklahoma and South Carolina when disaster strikes. Trump hasn't actually decided what to do, but if he acts on his grudge against CA by denying disaster relief, I imagine Republicans in CA would turn against him. If this becomes a pattern, then the whole state could secede, and all the eastern and north-eastern red CA counties would go along.

Personally I don't understand the fuss. I don't think Democrats in CA want illegal immigrants who break the law in their cities or the state to go scot free. I don't see why they would disagree with the USA deporting them, if the crimes are serious. But if the Trumpies contend that just crossing the border illegally is the crime worthy of deportation, then CA will stand against this come what may.

Republicans have created this mess by refusing to approve a fair and strict immigration reform law that even George W Bush supported, and now going along with Trump's hysteria.

Of course, Trump's grudge is about more than illegal immigration and sanctuary; it's because CA voted against him too. A bruised ego is not sufficient grounds for not using public funds (of which CA pays more than its share) to help CA citizens really "bruised" by disasters.
