As someone who lives in the "wouldnβt be that tough." That's big talk for someone who likely doesn't want to spend their last moments desperately clawing at the roof of a pine box.

As a resident of "this part wouldn't be that tough", i disagree. The entire Cascade range extending from the top of the central valley to the top of Washington, extending out to the ocean, is very very rough, steep, heavily forested terrain that would be absolute hell to get any kind of equipment through if the locals were to blow up a grand total of three bridges on three separate highways.
Also, fat chance invading the USA from the Pacific. That's like trying to get through a chastity belt by putting your dick in the padlock.

you do conquer it but the locals keep trying to feed you organic, wild harvested, artisanal Amanita soup

Also I always like to point out that Oregon has more guns per person than Texas, most people assume Oregon = Portland.

Surprised Hawaii doesn't just say "Ask Japan how it went"
I mean... The Hawaii part went pretty well for them. It was the rest of it afterwards where things went south.
Nah. The Pearl Harbor raid didn't achieve its actual objective, sinking the carriers, and some of the battleships they sunk were even refloated.
https://www.historyhit.com/attack-pearl-harbour/
It's kind of light on details but the carriers are the important bit because their goal was to hit the Pacific Fleet hard enough that America just wouldn't bother fighting for its Pacific colonies, Japanese leadership was very much aware it couldn't win an actual war, especially after they'd already lost two million soldiers massacring their way into a stalemate in China.
why democrats can't have guns?
Plenty do. The thought that democrats donβt have guns is a stereotype. Being pro gun control and being a responsible gun owner are compatible.
Fully agree,
Democrats have guns. They just don't worship their guns, display them like phallic symbols, or make a big deal of having them like conservative nutsos do. So there's a ridiculous stereotype that Democrats don't have guns and want to take guns away that conservative nutsos use to terrify their base into voting against responsible gun ownership laws.
Minnesota is also missing the "wears shorts in winter" tag.
Happens all the time in negative degree weather.
it hits -30f, you put on the shorts, the light hoodie, and you go out and get milkshakes.

That tag could probably be on the entirety of the North. From Michigan

I know that's probably not what was meant, but I'm reading "seals" as the animals, and the image is glorious.
It likely is the animals. San Diego has a lot of seals on their coast.

I'm far more afraid of the Nazis in Baton Rouge running this state than I am of Acadians hunting out in the swamps. Just don't go in the swamp! The Nazis are actively making life worse whether you seek them or not.

CMP people? What's that
Civilian Marksmanship Program.
Garands, Garands everywhere.
Civilian Marksmanship Program. It was a program designed to sell cheap obsolete military rifles, pistols, and ammunition to civilians to shoot target competitions with. It still exists today, though the supply of cheap surplus firearms has dwindled significantly. They never sell machine guns or assault rifles either.
The program arose at the end of WW2 because the US army discovered that the US is not a "Nation of Marksmen" but mostly a motley collection of "city slickers" that didn't know one end of a rifle from the other. Let alone actually shoot well enough to hit anything. It was taking too long to train recruits to use a firearm properly.
All you had to do was join a CMP approved target shooting club and shoot a set number of sanctioned matches to qualify to purchase a refurbished M1 Garand, M1 Carbine, 1903 Springfield, or 1911A1 pistol for very little money. It cost me $200US for a "Rack Grade" M1 Garand back in the day. And for the longest time there was no need for an FFL transfer either. The CMP would mail the firearm directly to your home.

You forgot about the Illinois Nazis.
I hate Illinois nazis.
May Florida Man protect us.
Lol, I do wear shorts in winter. We have a lot of guns up here too. Probably more guns than people.
Ah yes, those dangerous gangs of San Louis Obispo in California are really getting out of hand!
I think they're trying to reference LA and don't realize how far south it actually is.
The Pacific Northwest would be horrible to invade. Even if the people don't offer much resistance trying to get through the Rocky Mountains would be disastrous. But they actually have militias out there too.
Texas should just say "Guns".
North Dakota should probably be "no civilization, no resources, and no warmth."
