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 5 days 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.

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

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 3 points 4 days ago

Yeah. Her saying "don't you know who I am!?" and flipping off the workers after getting kicked out for refusing to stop vaping indoors and near pregnant women and performing public sexual acts at a musical where kids were in attendance... That's pure Florida.

Considering them petitioning to leave Oregon, I feel like eastern Oregon would be very upset about this

I'm sure the sane people in those new Canadian provinces would want universal healthcare, but would they be willing to give up their guns? I think most of Canada is appalled at the gun violence in the US and would make giving up guns an unconditional requirement of joining Canada.

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 40 points 5 days 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)

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 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

please take all of Michigan. Please please please.

As an American, I suppose I'm getting used to disappointment.

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 9 points 5 days ago

Getting California would make Canada shift in identity.

Getting Minnesota would honestly make us even more Canadian.

[–] zjti8eit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 days ago

There is no way Canada is down for paying the health care costs of Californians, let alone the cost of defense from an American military.

[–] selkiesidhe@lemm.ee 6 points 4 days 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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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

And all the Democrats in the red states of course.

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

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 days 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.

[–] bricklove@midwest.social 17 points 5 days ago

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