Live and let die Meme trends happen, so please don't message mods asking to take down maps that are repetitive to a bit.
Reposts Vs. Covers Not all reposts are evil- if someone posts something that has been done years ago, it serves to bring old memes to the new users. I call these meme covers. However it can be done in excess which makes it a repost and spam. Mods will determine if a post is a cover or a repost.
No impersonating mods I can't believe I had to make this rule.
No harassing mods on an appeal We can talk it out, and we will be acting in good faith when making decisions. If you disagree with a removal, you are free to message for clarification or to appeal by giving some added context.
Bans Bans will be set to a maximum of 365 days for humans, and a minimum of 365 years for bots. I believe people can change, so if you are banned for good reason, do know that it is not permanent, it is just a way to say "take time to grow and come back when you are ready".

We say "The Duchy of Baltimore" now
For a second I was wondering why Manitoba got to absorb so many states.
Proud new Canadian checking in!
But I don't want to learn French. I can struggle through with Spanish though.

Hmm, can we go halfsies on California, if no deal, we could maybe take florida off your hands to sweeten the deal, we have a couple friends here florida could play with. Might keep them both busy.
Mexico wouldn't be willing to go halvsies on their former territory that would be the most profitable territory that they are regaining. Especially since "states rights" aren't a thing anymore, so Florida and Texas can go suck dick when it comes to Federal Laws in Mexico, which outlawed slavery the day they wrote their Constitution.
Utah should be in Canada+ imo. It would mess with the nice straight-ish border over there, but then if that's what we're going for the Carolinas should be in Mexico+. Also Maryland and Delaware are apparently independent?
This wouldn't be so bad for new england
Hold on. Why does Mexico get the worse part of the USA?
They need the Carolinas for the full set.
Cede Florida to Cuba!
In 2020 election, GOP said Biden would do this because he's a communist. But they only said this in Miami. Blue margin for Miami was successfully diminished by Cuban vote, and FL was no longer a swing state.
Why not Canexico? Or Mexida?
I'd settle for Earthanadexico
You know neither of them wanted Tennessee.
Kentucky? Bourbon.
Texas? Barbeque.
Florida? Beaches.
What's Tennessee got?
Coal
Shitty liquor store moonshine that's no where near as good as real moonshine, and Dolly Parton.
I guess Memphis style barbecue, if you're into that. I'm not. Prefer my BBQ to be SC mustard base, a la Maurices (though, I won't spend money there anymore). TN does have some damn fine fried chicken, though.
They call themselves the volunteer state? I don't think anyone had the heart or patience to explain that enslaving human beings isn't a form of volunteerism.
Tennessee has some of the best whiskey produced in the US, they also have some banging mustard based BBQ, and chutney based BBQ.
Oh, and Dolly Motherfucking Parton.
Oh god no. Canada, my querido vecino. Can we please trade a few states? I'll give you Texas for Maine. ¿Trato?
I live in Kansas City. I would love this outcome. We'd be that Tijuana of Canada.
Where's the Gulf of the United States of America though?!
Wait, Why is Maryland White? Somebody take Maryland damnit!
Either way I get affordable healthcare, then it's either tacos or poutine, and I'm NGL I could go either way on that.
A more realistic map may be blue, and blue if right option/candidate, contiguous regions of US joining Canada, and the more common pre-election GOP threat of remaining US invading Mexico and then assimilated into red US.
Cede the entire area to a new "national park" a park the size of the Old United States.
Else, combine Baja and California to California Grande.
California Grande.
We need this.
except NO humans allowed at all
it would probably be in everyone's best interest even considering canada can't even take care of itself with its current land and population.
I don't know enough about mexico to comment on how much more they could take on.
Uh, shouldn't California have fallen into the ocean? It's at fault... or something
Wasn't an American Dad episode? I vaguely recall a character that speaks in a Canadian dialect with a Spanish accent.
I would be ok becoming Mexican living in Utah, I love Mexicans.
Mexico can't afford to fuck with CA's GDP power, so yeah, I'm okay with this. I'd rather be part of Canada, though. They seem kind.
It's a simple vice. Poutine or burritos, choose wisely
