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 1 month ago

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 14 points 1 month ago

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.

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.

[-] SilentStorms@lemmy.dbzer0.com 42 points 1 month ago

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 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

What about Alaska then? Or Minnesota?

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 1 month ago

Getting California would make Canada shift in identity.

Getting Minnesota would honestly make us even more Canadian.

[-] fantasyocean@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 1 month ago

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 8 points 1 month ago

please take all of Michigan. Please please please.

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 11 points 1 month ago

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.

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

[-] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

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

[-] merc@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month 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 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.

[-] Nalivai@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

People in red and purple states used their collective voting power to bring whatever is happening. You abandoned everyone by doing whatever you were doing when there was the time to do democratic choice, that was the time for righteous anger. Now it's too late.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 19 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

What a fucking ignorant thing to say. Fuck you. Because I live in the same state as a bunch of bigots you're saying I should suffer? "That was the time for righteous anger"? I've been righteously angry for over a fucking decade. Seriously. Fuck. You. Fuck you for saying this stupid, ignorant bullshit. Fuck you on behalf of every trans person born into a red state facing discrimination, harassment, assault, and murder. Fuck you on behalf of every queer person forced to go to conversion therapy because they're born to conservative parents in a red state. Fuck you.

[-] Krauerking@lemy.lol 7 points 1 month ago

Hey, fuck them.
Don't let others ideas of who is part of their in group and who can be excluded get to your empathy. I am glad you have it even if you don't see it from anyone else today ( and hopefully I am wrong and you see lots). For every person you give comfort to today for being a good person in a bad place I thank you on their behalf even if they don't.

You really should be ashamed of yourself for slinging this bullshit talking point around. Do you even realize how politically, culturally and ethnically diverse the South is? Houston is already one of the most diverse and progressive cities in the country. People are out there fighting not just a Fascist Federal govt, but also a Fascist State govt. Do you see them running or crying online? What have you done? You cant even stand with your supposed fellow countrymen because you are a coward through and through and want to draw lines on a map to make yourself feel better.

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

And all the Democrats in the red states of course.

"Hey Canada we're a bunch of pussies that want to run away because fascism is taking over. How'd you like to team up with us while you also deal with fascism?"

Why wouldn't Canada just take these states for themselves and deport all the cowardly Americans? You guys aren't going to fight, you'll just run away to yet another country.

Canada would then be more US than Canadian at that point. US + Canada should keep United States of America name. The question is then what to call the other country. Kingdom of Christ? The 1950s?

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!

Just split it up, no country should be bigger than something between Hungary and Germany.
