Feels like it’d solve a lot of problems.
I prefer this one because my state’s in it
Same
Alberta is the wrong colour.
Yeah, trade Virginia for Alberta.
Could we airlift Atlanta out of Georgia instead?
JFC, find a way to take new Mexico and maybe Colorado as well.
Jesusland makes me chuckle
New ones will be provided.
More like orangejesus land
Wisconsin can fuck off and die. But this will give Canadia control of most of the great lakes.
Canada’s population is 40 million. This would add 80ish (edit:) million more people to that. So, it’s not Canada annexing the blue states, it’s the blues states seceding and then annexing Canada to achieve territorial contiguity.
No annexing. The blue states join with Canada to establish a union of states. We could call it “United States” or something, or idk, I’m not good with names.
United Provinces, we don’t need to keep baggage associated with United States
Since the remaining states are run by a convict, they could be the Con-federated States or something like that.
I think there were more than 80 people in Oregon alone
The math checks out.
Lol, fixed it
Let’s be real, it’s city vs. country no matter where you are.
It really isn’t, Maine is rural af. We’re called the South of the North for a reason. However we are weirdly progressive for how rural we are
It’s definitely not a clear cut rule, but generally places with higher population density vote more blue
Data from 2020 here: https://engaging-data.com/election-population-density/
I’m interested in how this is changing, my understanding is that many rural areas were more liberal historically.
Yeah it is generally higher population density means more progressive. Maine is just weird. Even historically. Historically very pro-abolition, also pretty pro-women’s suffrage, also very pro-prohibition. However the state also didn’t start voting democrat till around the 60s or 70s. Fairly early legalizers of marijuana and also fairly quick for gay marriage.
Not even.
Maricopa County is effectively one giant suburb and the numbers were about 50-50 for each candidate.
In the more fortunate situation, yes
Can we swap Albertans with Coloradans though?
As a Coloradan, I’m sold
Gotta warn you though, seems the only nice piece of nature you’ll get is on the border with BC and they did a real number on the environment in the north.
But you guys can probably actually fix it rather than celebrate CO2 like what these close are doing now with provincial legislature.
Oh man, I would love to see this happen. Republicans in Texas would be frothing at the mouth to see California gone, right up until they had to start paying for all the other republican states that can’t manage to support themselves.
Red states are the real welfare queens
Not even remotely based. States are not internally homogenous. “Let’s take all the Democrats and job with Canada” is a shitlib take.
I’m hearing a “cringe” here, though I’ve heard quite a few "based"s (no consesus as is tradition for leftist discourse) … I think “based” is winning?
I guess Colorado and New Mexico get hung out to dry.
Question is, does Canada want you?
I hear California’s always on fire, so it’ll fit right in with our west coast
Me?
I meant if they want the states. You’re chill though
Yeah, I get it, I’m just not American :D
I briefly saw this meme on my dad’s phone while he was browsing facebook. He’s a right wing Trump voter.
So take from that what you will.
Yep, this is originally a righty post. That’s why I’m so confused that it’s actually kind of based. The rough consensus here is that it’s based, so we have bi-partisan support. Let’s get this on the Congress floor!
Better divide Oregon and Washington states in half. The east side of each state all voted red. Not sure how California voted.
We need the valley, just kick out all the chuds first.
Based on what?
“Based” is just slang. It generally has a positive connotation. So the original poster is essentially asking if this is a good idea or not.
That’s cringe.
Signing up on that instance and then going on political communities’ posts is such a power-move
Problem solved:
Absolutely not. Saw Florida off and let it sink.
As a Canadian who sees the far-right politics of the USA leaking across the border, I actually think this would be a good idea. The US can have Alberta though, I think they would be happier there.
As an Albertan, please no
The swing states are gonna be kicking themselves that they missed this chance after they come back to their senses.
Is that for or against? Do we want extra states or an “I told you so” more? Genuinely difficult question.
That really is difficult! Id suggest to just let the ‘United States of Canada’ vote on it after the next ‘Jesusland’ election. But I’m not from the US so I’m in no position to give a suggestion really.
I’m not American either, but I’m suggesting anyway
Seems pretty reasonable. I’d like that.
