    While I would honestly prefer this to our current situation, I vote we Europeanize things instead. Single continent North American Union, but instead of 3 meganations, we instead go fully independent for each state in the us and Mexico, and each province in Canada. But with free travel between the new, much smaller nations. Let’s see how fast these conservative ass states who love to boast about their fucking fiscal responsibility last before collapsing and getting a bailout that requires they start offering fucking healthcare.

      Good idea, only a tiny correction: North America goes down to Panama and includes the Caribbean.

      But the EU doesn’t include all of Europe as well, so ¯\⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

      I have my doubts that a Republic of Sinaloa and the Grand Dutchy of Jalisco are going to work out.

        There would likely need to be some reordering in the build up to The Great Dissolution and New Unionization

    Can’t wait to see an indie film about a small town Nebraska story shot in sepia because it’s south of the border.

    One generation later, none of the Americans remained. Having been removed from their threat for so long, they were now completely devoid of the natural defenses that were necessary to protect them from the devastation of Kinder Surprise eggs.

    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.

    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.

    Honestly, I think Mexico has a better chance cleaning up the cartels than the US have cleaning up, well… Anything.

    If Mexico does that, this map looks pretty good

    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.

    Is there some way we can ensure Ohio goes to Mexico?

      Hell no. Or rather I should say: ni cuando el infierno se congele.

      Why? They just got back all their former territory, and then some. As well as taking the largest economy in the US, and most of the largest military resources. Oh, and a fair amount of our aerospace industries. Also an absolute shit ton of oil refineries.

          We can finally quarantine the anti-human states, now that “states rights,” aren’t an issue.

          Mexico outlawed all forms of slavery when they founded the country. The Alamo defenders were defending the right of US citizens to make Texas, which was a Mexican territory at the time, into a slave state.

            As President Grant, himself a veteran of the Mexican-American War, once noted…

            For myself, I was bitterly opposed to the measure, and to this day regard the war, which resulted, as one of the most unjust ever waged by a stronger against a weaker nation.

              We only missed founding this country with no slavery by a single person’s vote. If any one person had voted the other way in The Continental Congress, we would have started the US without the deep festering wound that has divided the country ever since.
