That's much better.

Needs Colorado on there somewhere too. That place is a blue oasis surrounded by a sea of red bullshit states on all sides.

They elected Hoedirt Boebert... no entry.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 21 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You say "they" as if states don't have different districts. Boebert came from a right-leaning district, but was so toxic she couldn't get re-elected there. So she had to move to an even more right district in order to win.

[–] neukenindekeuken@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Add to that she's actually a transplant from Florida, and it starts to make sense.

Hey take some cities as enclaves too. Blue cities in red states don't deserve that kind of punishment.

I think the red area should get alberta, maybe saskatchewan too. And I would personally like to see the Alaska pan handle transferred to B.C.

Imagine.

Donald declares war on Canada.

Straight away all those states secede from the union and declare independence (States rights!)

Canada claims them all as allies.

TACO bell end Trump backs down.

States join Canada.

Donald declares war on Canada.

Minnesota is a solid blue state that deserves to join Canada as well

[–] cobysev@lemmy.world 41 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

We've already petitioned Canada about adopting us since Trump was elected, and they responded positively! They consider us their favorite neighbor of all the border states. 🥰

Granted, it was a joke in response to Trump's tariffs, but still... (Source)

You gotta out compete Vermont and Maine for that title. A solid 1/3 of homes I drove by had Canadian flags out in VT.

ain't no fucking way your carving that out and leaving Minnesota behind, we've been basically Canada for hundreds of years

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 weeks ago

Getting California would make Canada shift in identity.

Getting Minnesota would honestly make us even more Canadian.

[–] SilentStorms@lemmy.dbzer0.com 37 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

As a Canadian, no thank you. California and New York would swallow us and we'd become "liberal United States"

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

What about Alaska then? Or Minnesota?

Listen, you just want to annex lake Michigan and take Chicago as a part of the bundle, I won't argue. Because at this point I'm begging

[–] vonbaronhans@midwest.social 7 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

please take all of Michigan. Please please please.

Now we just need to link up with Canada to create a weird map avocado with a 'Murican pit.

Except this is also how the "democracy" that is modern day Russia was created. Everything that's happened in the U.S. since ~2012 that has been driving us to the brink of collapse by furthering the divide between left and right has been eerily similar.

Psychological Inoculation and Astroturfing: Preparing for exploitation of U.S. secession movements

A lot of people don't know this, bc it's not exactly clear what they were doing there, but coincidentally the Heritage Foundation also seemed to play a role in the creation of the first free market in the earliest days of post-soviet Russia.

[–] jwmgregory@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

thank you for not giving in to their rhetoric and letting this point die.

i get endless downvotes on all social media anytime i say a civil war is the absolute fucking worst outcome of any of the current trends.

guess people are just out for blood rn. i wouldn’t make it sound so innocent, tho. why are people out for blood? lots of answers, none satisfying enough.

[–] Triasha@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Take an up vote from me. Civil wars nearly always end in tragedy beyond the imaginations of those who start them.

The Heritage Foundation is a society of monarchists. It's supported by oligarchs who want to be king to push the world towards that agenda, and such oligarchs routinely infuse it with capital.

Do all the 19 year old Michiganders who drive to Toronto to drink mean nothing to you?

Feel real bad for Illinois, Virginia, Colorado and New Mexico citizens.

And all the Democrats in the red states of course.

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago (6 children)

Why do we need counties at all? Why do we even draw borders to begin with?

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 weeks ago

Humans haven't figured out how to live without laws yet. If you have laws, you have a region where those laws apply. Voila, countries.

I don't wanna be left behind in the failed states. But otherwise I approve of this message.

Minnesota is ready for you too

[–] selkiesidhe@lemm.ee 7 points 2 weeks ago

You know tbh I'm surprising TACO McDumbass hasn't thought about selling our country yet...

Imagine the cash you'd get for this whole place, fuck!

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (22 children)

I hate memes like this. Just fucking abandon people living in red states I guess. Just abandon purple states like my state. Fuck you too. If I could "just move" I would've.
