    Canada’s population is 40 million. This would add 80ish (edit:) million more people to that. So, it’s not Canada annexing the blue states, it’s the blues states seceding and then annexing Canada to achieve territorial contiguity.

    Not even remotely based. States are not internally homogenous. “Let’s take all the Democrats and job with Canada” is a shitlib take.

      I’m hearing a “cringe” here, though I’ve heard quite a few "based"s (no consesus as is tradition for leftist discourse) … I think “based” is winning?

      Not even.

      Maricopa County is effectively one giant suburb and the numbers were about 50-50 for each candidate.

      It really isn’t, Maine is rural af. We’re called the South of the North for a reason. However we are weirdly progressive for how rural we are

          Yeah it is generally higher population density means more progressive. Maine is just weird. Even historically. Historically very pro-abolition, also pretty pro-women’s suffrage, also very pro-prohibition. However the state also didn’t start voting democrat till around the 60s or 70s. Fairly early legalizers of marijuana and also fairly quick for gay marriage.

        Gotta warn you though, seems the only nice piece of nature you’ll get is on the border with BC and they did a real number on the environment in the north.

        But you guys can probably actually fix it rather than celebrate CO2 like what these close are doing now with provincial legislature.

    Oh man, I would love to see this happen. Republicans in Texas would be frothing at the mouth to see California gone, right up until they had to start paying for all the other republican states that can’t manage to support themselves.

    I briefly saw this meme on my dad’s phone while he was browsing facebook. He’s a right wing Trump voter.

    So take from that what you will.

      Yep, this is originally a righty post. That’s why I’m so confused that it’s actually kind of based. The rough consensus here is that it’s based, so we have bi-partisan support. Let’s get this on the Congress floor!

    Better divide Oregon and Washington states in half. The east side of each state all voted red. Not sure how California voted.

    As a Canadian who sees the far-right politics of the USA leaking across the border, I actually think this would be a good idea. The US can have Alberta though, I think they would be happier there.

    The swing states are gonna be kicking themselves that they missed this chance after they come back to their senses.

      Is that for or against? Do we want extra states or an “I told you so” more? Genuinely difficult question.

        That really is difficult! Id suggest to just let the ‘United States of Canada’ vote on it after the next ‘Jesusland’ election. But I’m not from the US so I’m in no position to give a suggestion really.
