A new comic book hitting shelves this week imagines a full-scale revolt against the federal government in the state of California over President Donald Trump's strict immigration policies.
Calexit, a new series from Black Mask Studios {An apropos name, don'tcha think?!}, is set in a bleak near-future in which the entire state of California is plunged into both a war with the federal government and a civil war within its own borders. According to a preview of the new series in Entertainment Weekly, the comics depict a world in which climate change has ravaged much of the state, while masked Californians battle the government to defend immigrants.
The events of Calexit pick up after Trump's presidential victory. After the president signs an executive order to deport all immigrants, California officials refuse to comply, and designate the state a "sanctuary state." But the designation throws the state into civil war between cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco, which support the state, and the rural and inland areas of the state, which support the federal government.
The comic's protagonist is Zora, a Mexican immigrant who becomes a "resistance army" leader, and Jamil, an "apolitical smuggler." Together, the two must evade the authorities, while Zora must contend with her own personal desire for revenge. ...
Ah, yes ... the "protagonists" are criminals, wearing black masks, who do not represent or care about the interests of the citizens of California. Everyone already knows that the denizens of Hollyweird and the state government in Sacramento have no concept of reality, but it appears Kalifornia insanity is spreading rapidly within the land of fruits & nuts.
