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.

Or they do, but correctly identified Adolph's greatest mistake for conquering the world:

Being Germany instead of America.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago (3 children)

It was invading Russia.

This time the US is best buds with Russia.

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.

Assuming the conquered territories get a vote is a bit of a leap.

They don't know anything about anything. That's the problem

How about we start by making Puerto Rico and DC states

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 month ago (3 children)

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.

[–] themeatbridge 39 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

This is how it begins. You keep calling territory that isn't yours your territory until it sounds normal to those that you have created a cult or pact with. Then it doesn't seem so abnormal when you decide it is yours.

People who voted Trump in are actually fucking stupid.

Meanwhile, in reality, they are terrified of letting Puerto Rico become a state because it might threaten their delicate gerrymandered hegemony in Congress by adding two more senators and one or more representatives. This "map" is the fever dream of a lead-poisoned, terminally MAGA moron.

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They want more people to treat like shit.

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

[–] Lost_My_Mind 35 points 1 month ago (1 children)

History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes.

There was a war in the 1800s that USA had with Mexico. We beat them so bad that they surrendered all of Mexico to us.

In the end it was decided not to accept the deal, as it would just create a new set of problems with needing to legalize the citizenry of ALL former Mexicans.

That's big fucking talk from a country that couldn't hold-on to half a Vietnam.

So they are planning on invading an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark? A part of EU and UN.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

They seem to be planning on invading everyone. Canada's about to elect a far-right government of its own, and I don't trust the Conservative Party of Canada not to go along with it, because they've been trying to dismantle everything that made Canada a nicer place to live than the USA for decades.

All this talk of expanding the USA from everyone is.... concerning.

Also this map includes Iceland, northern Sicily and the Faroe Islands. What?

Seeing as they mention America's 250th birthday I am going to mention that the average lifespan of an empire is 250 years.

Canada, Panama and Greenland (Denmark) should not worry. Every single fucking loser MAGAt will have a copy of Cadet Bone Spur's 1968 doctors note excusing them from military service.

My first thought was, fuck yeah! I'm game for a North American Union. But it appears that's not what they meant.

I'd like to know what they plan to do with Iceland and Sicily. Two very oddball selections there. At least The Philippines was once a US territory.

I love how even unconsciously they can't take Mexico. I know it's most probably racism, but we still prevail prior to come back.

It's not only economically silly because they would lose the entirety of Europe, but it's also an insult Canada.

Canada was there on DDay, 9/11 and countless other tragedies / disasters. I doubt this would be popular with americans in the military. Theyve been fighting alongside canadians for decades if not a century now.

I know that End Wokeness is just jack posobiec, but im curious where this map even came from. It reeks of the same energy as that "Decolonized Europe" Map that Russian imperialists post, where every euro country has been balkanized *except for the Slavic brothers Serbia and Russia, who have both grown considerably larger)

they've both got that Nazi Ick

Idiocy aside, does anyone know what this map actually represents (because I'm guessing, with Italy and Iceland in there, it's probably not a map of military conquest)?

Representing the "Free State of Jefferson" in Southern Oregon but failing to acknowledge "Greater Idaho" these weirdos don't even know what's really going on. As a PNW resident, I'm dissapointed.
