I’m sorry but this is just silly. The BBC itself reported that California’s independence was something promoted by Russian trolls [1] in late 2017.

This is just the type of divisive content that the world doesn’t need right now. We can do better. [1] https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-41853131 https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-41853131
