This could be one of the worst experience to United states in if founders of California manage to have Golden State could become the Golden Nation if an independence referendum gets passed.
California has a strong economy and high population, and the so-called “Calexit” could gain traction following the election of Donald Trump.
California could become an independent country in 2019 when voters hit the polls again.
The Yes California Independence Campaign believes that “being a US state is no longer serving California’s best interests” and thinks that California would be better suited making its own immigration laws.
Iranian-American entrepreneur, Shervin Pishevar, executive chairman of Hyperloop One, has voiced his support for Calexit.
On Tuesday, he tweeted that in the case of a Trump win he would be “announcing and funding a legitimate campaign for California to become its own nation.”
Now Pishevar is willing to put his money where his mouth is.
He has resigned from his position as a member of the Fulbright Scholarship board, citing an inability to work with Trump.
In addition, his call for the nation of New California was heard by other Silicon Valley hot-shots like Marc Hemeon, a former Google designer and CEO of Design Inc; Cheezburger founder Ben Huh; and Path founder Dave Morin.
Joint California Legislators statement
Following the election of Donald Trump as 45th president of United States, Californians felt betrayed by the American voice, voting Trump, and threatened to act in defence of her people, by withdrawing from US.
“Today, we woke up feeling like strangers in a foreign land, because yesterday Americans expressed their views on a pluralistic and democratic society that are clearly inconsistent with the values of the people of California,” read a statement.
According to the legislators, they will not allow one election reverse generations of progress.
“California has long set an example for other states to follow. And California will defend its people and our progress. We are not going to allow one election to reverse generations of progress at the height of our historic diversity, scientific advancement, economic output, and sense of global responsibility.”
“While Donald Trump may have won the presidency, he hasn’t changed our values. America is greater than any one man or party. We will not be dragged back into the past. We will lead the resistance to any effort that would shred our social fabric or our Constitution.”
“California was not a part of this nation when its history began, but we are clearly now the keeper of its future.”
