It is not just a Twitter joke. Californians are seriously considering seceding from the United States after Donald Trump went from being the Republican nominee to President-elect.
A group called Yes California Independence Campaign is holding an event in Sacramento on Wednesday, hoping to garner more support for Calexit, named after Brexit, the July referendum in the United Kingodom in which the country voted to leave the European Union. The group is working on an initiative that will allow California to secede from the U.S. by 2020.
“As the sixth-largest economy in the world, California is more economically powerful than France and has a population larger than Poland. Point by point, California compares and competes with countries, not just the 49 other states,” the group said in a statement on their site.
