With Donald Trump winning the presidential election, Californians had a brainwave on Twitter: Why not break away from the rest of the U.S. and go it alone?
After all, the state probably grows enough food to sustain itself, it has the sixth largest economy in the world, and it just passed recreational marijuana use. It doesn't really need those other states under a Trump presidency does it?

Some thought 'Califrexit' might work -- a portmanteau referencing the other act of massive self harm an electorate committed this year in the UK.

The idea goes beyond a Twitter joke. One group, the Yes California Independence Campaign, is actually holding an event in Sacramento Wednesday in the hopes of gaining support for the idea.
"In our view, the United States of America represents so many things that conflict with Californian values, and our continued statehood means California will continue subsidizing the other states to our own detriment, and to the detriment of our children," their manifesto, which was written before Tuesday by the way, says.
However, no state has seceded from the U.S. since the Civil War so we won't be holding our breath.
