    Legitimately what is wrong with these people?

    They want a fascist leader and to invade their neighbours?

    They know how that historically ends right?

    Like the “you won’t let me say a slur so I’m gonna be a nazi” thing was kinda supposed to be an overly reductive meme, but this guy’s just out there living it.

      An interesting thing about this map, the way these lines are drawn would all but guarantee conservative victories for a long, long time.

      A bunch of extra, barely inhabited states, to give two extra electoral votes and a handful of senators to conservatives. I wonder if whoever drew this is aware that most Canadian conservatives are closer to American Democrats than American conservatives.

        Meanwhile, all 117 million people in the Philippines get one state. I think you’re right.

        Edit: looks like it may be two, making each one comparable with California.

    Wait. I thought they didn’t want foreigners coming into the US, doesn’t this defeat the purpose of keeping them out?

      They don’t want to do that, those would both add solidly democratic senators, and likely permanently cost them the Senate.

      Not like Canada and Greenland, which are notoriously conservative and would vote for Republicans consistently. Ignore the comparatively liberal policies, those aren’t related. Quebec and Greenland in particular are just chomping at the bit to jump on Republican mainstays like adopting English as the one true and official language of the US.

        They don’t want to do any of this. They want to propose ridiculous pipedreams that they cannot hope to accomplish, and wouldn’t enjoy if they did, because it distracts from their lack of ideas or morals.

        Every conversation about Canada and Greenland is one you’re not having about sex crimes and class warfare.

    Yeah sure… but start by adopting the metric system, then we’ll talk.

    (And stop with the 1$ bills… what a waste)

    Yo, why do they want the Caribbean? They already have P.R. and they treat it like an S.T.D. they’re ignoring.

      The US invaded Dominican Republic in the 1960s, and they passed on a serious offer to acquire Cuba (sometime before Bautista and Castro).

      I think the overseas territories on this map are basically everything the US held at any time, and the stuff they could conceivably have held onto.
