With Donald Trump winning the presidential election,Beverly Lynne - Bikini Royale 2 (2010) Californians had a brainwave on Twitter: Why not break away from the rest of the U.S. and go it alone?

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.

However, no state has seceded from the U.S. since the Civil War so we won't be holding our breath.
