A lot of people are struggling to come to terms with the reality of Donald Trump becoming the 45th President of the United States but none more so than the people of California who voted overwhelmingly for Hillary Clinton.
Although the majority of the democratic states are planning for life with President Trump, California seems to be looking at other alternatives, namely secession.
Since Trump's victory was announced, #Calexit has been trending on Twitter with many citizens declaring that they want their own independent state.
Looks like California can legally secede for some reason. Interesting. #Calexit

They even came up with a name.
CA, OR, and WA should either be a new country known as Cow or a Canadian province(also known as Cow). #CalExit

2016. You never cease to amaze us.
Although it's highly unlikely Californian citizens actually want this to happen, there is no law stopping them from doing it should they be determined enough.
