All the West Coast states voted for Hillary over Trump. Facing defeat the #Calexit secession campaign is gaining steam. Will it spread like a western wildfire to Oregon and Washington? Only time will tell.
Metro News covers the reaction:
Since Donald Trump’s electoral victory was first announced, #Calexit has been trending on Twitter, with distraught Californians looking to form their own state.
And although it hasn’t been that long, the idea is really taking off
Well, that took about 30 minutes. #CalExit

Looks like California can legally secede for some reason. Interesting. #Calexit

Racism, sexism, queerphobia, transphobia, classism, ableism. If all of this makes American ‘great’ again, then we are not America. #CalExit

One man suggested that the new country could be called ‘Cow’
CA, OR, and WA should either be a new country known as Cow or a Canadian province(also known as Cow). #CalExit
