Similar to Catalan secessionist claims, part of CalExit's rationale is the state's economic dominance. It ranks as the sixth largest economy in the world. Its status as a global trading power, spearheaded by Silicon Valley, could be threatened by Trumpist protectionist policies.

Culturally, California is a majority-minority state, opposed to the aggressive activities of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents under Trump. Recent legislation signed by Democratic Governor Jerry Brown to declare California a "sanctuary state" is a direct challenge to federal authority, as noted recently by former White House advisor Stephen Bannon.

In a speech last month to California Republicans, Bannon warned that the secessionist movement was real. Though Bannon urged the group to resist, one wonders how concerned he would be if 55 electoral votes, locked up indefinitely for Democratic presidential candidates, disappeared from American politics.
