In November, the Gateway Pundit reported on a new development in California and some other states where rural conservative voters are pushing to divorce from liberal cities to create new states.
A month later, the push is still on as these voters tire of progressive policies and restrictions on freedom.
In California, conservatives are tired of the entire state being dominated by the politics of Los Angeles and San Francisco.
FOX News reports:
Rural towns push to divorce from big cities, form new conservative state
Rural voters in California have had it with the Democratic majority in Sacramento and are pushing for their communities to divorce the blue urban areas that dominate state politics.
Conservative residents in California’s rural regions are tired of overregulation, the high cost of living and the myriad of policies coming out of the Democratic-dominated state Legislature, said Paul Preston, who founded New California State in hopes of splintering off from its current home.
“We recognized that we were in a tyranny,” Preston told Fox News Digital, citing the disparity between Democrats and Republicans in state government.
Preston, a former school administrator, described California as a “one-party” state that operates similar to a communist regime by passing laws that disregard the rural class.
Under the proposed map, New California State would comprise nearly all of California’s 58 counties, except most of Los Angeles County and parts of Sacramento County, San Francisco and other parts of the Bay Area. The map is purely a proposal and doesn’t represent the final state borders, Preston said.
There is a serious case to be made here. In the 2024 election, California moved 12 points to the right.
This is insane! Trump won in such a historic fashion he swung deep blue states close to red. California alone shifted 12 points to the right. New York shifted 11!

People are fleeing California over the state’s failed progressive policies.
Texas has welcomed millions, while California sees a mass exodus.
Housing prices in CA have soared twice as fast as in TX, despite TX adding 2x more new homes since 2000!

People across the country want a return to common sense. Even in California.
