Taking the Calexit

America's already stated crisis know as the 2016 elections has wiped us out. Following the streak of disappointments in our country comes "Calexit", meaning California's way of not accepting the outcome of Trump's obvious win. Instead of moving forward like the rest of our nation, we are out of step by moving farther to the left. Kevin de Leon, the Democratic president of state senate, has stated, "In California, we are decisively going in a different direction than the rest of the country.” So like most crying toddlers who don't get what they want, California has put up a useless fight that we must once again get through.    
                                 
This increasingly diverse state has become a great upset in the lives of many Latino and Black families. They as a group were more likely to vote for Clinton because of obvious reasons and their vote would guarantee their safety. Of course that was the main reason that they voted, not caring about what the other candidate had to offer, only knowing that he was "racist" and wants to deport every non-white person in America. Wroooong. Trump stands for a different protection when he talks about a wall but people won't accept hearing something good about Donald Trump.

Many protests in California have already taken place. This includes fireworks set off, people stopping traffic in freeways, and the burning of a paper mache Trump. All of these prove that we are a mature enough state to do what want and not listen to the government. In Orange County specifically, a lot of people are resisting the president-elect. They declare, "Not My President!" on poster boards and signs for everyone to see. Those people think that they're so bad ass for rebelling against our country and thinking that they're gonna move out of America. Well then just do it already because we're tired of hearing about your propaganda and protesting b.s. 
                                                    
Jokingly, Governor Jerry Brown said that maybe we should build a wall around California, "To protect it from the rest of the country" if Trump was elected. And elected he was and now our state is in a state of hell. Heck, we might even get to have our own country if this succeeds. What more could we want?

With thousands terrified of Trump's presidency, they aim to fight and survive in this cruel world. One person protesting declares that, "California is not gonna take this." You may not want to take it, but if you want to live in this country you're gonna have to abide by the rules of our new president. Trump is going to have a hard time getting things in order and who knows how long it will take. But I believe that eventually things will calm down, people will lose their fire to fight a brick wall (no pun intended), and we can have an orderly state. People will still protest and try to start up another battle, but time after time it will die out. This leaves California at a crossroad, will they continue to resist or fight until something has cracked?
