Washington (CNN)They call it #Calexit.

Interest in pushing for California's secession from the United States has increased after Donald Trump won the presidency.
The "Yes California" campaign is backing an independence referendum in support of a constitutional exit of the state from the US. In the wake of 60% of the state's voters supporting the presidential loser, Hillary Clinton, the movement is getting renewed interest.
"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 campaign's website said.
The #calexit name stems from the successful "brexit" campaign in Britain to leave the European Union.
While the Yes Campaign has been considered a fringe movement in the past, it began trending on social media Wednesday night attracting more mainstream notice. Supporters are proposing a referendum on the issue in 2019.
Thousands take to the streets to protest Trump win
Hundreds of protesters -- many of them Latino -- hit Los Angeles City Hall Wednesday night chanting "¡Si se puede!" (Spanish for "yes, it's possible" or "yes, one can" -- a longtime rallying cry of the United Farm Workers).
Activists chanting #NotMyPresident in cities from coast-to-coast occupied the streets protesting the election results that made the former reality show star the next president.
Police estimated that thousands of people stood outside New York City's Trump Tower protesting the president-elect's positions on immigration and law enforcement.
"I came out here to let go of a lot of fear that was sparked as soon as I saw the results," protester Nick Powers told CNN.

This is getting interesting

YES! They have right to secede...

California has a better chance at exiting the US than IPOB has in leaving Nigeria.

This Trump election spells bad news for the US and the world. I forsee a lot of upheaval.

where do they think they re going? no be them help frustrate Biafra secession. Abegi una no dey go anywhere, una must dey there whether una like am or not.


Some people will soon come and say its their right to secede but will never apply the same yardstick in their own expired Zoo. Hypocritical red oil fellows

Biafra Nko
11.[/b]Biafra 1.2[b].

barak obama is the last president of great america, by end of 2018 china will be world power, quote me anywer.

...Damnnn!!!

Sighs.... this is getting interesting (eleyi gidi gan o!). If they choose to secede, it's fine. They have the right to push for referendum.

To be honest, trump victory is gradually spelling doom for USA. The country has never been divided the way it is now.

...And yet, the parasites want Nigeria to forcefully remain as one? Damn!!!
