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.

I don’t understand why they automatically assume that PR would go democrat.

This is why.

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.

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

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

[–] Prethoryn@lemmy.world 53 points 4 days ago (4 children)

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.

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

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 4 days ago (4 children)

But also most empires didn't live in the age of instant global communication and endless propaganda power and surveillance.

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.

How come they want a little chunk of Mexico and all of Nicaragua, but they don't the rest of Mexico?

[–] Womdat10@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 3 days ago

They need somewhere to deport people to obviously/s

[–] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 18 points 4 days ago (4 children)

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.

How about we start by making Puerto Rico and DC states

[–] ricecake@sh.itjust.works 46 points 5 days 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@lemmy.world 39 points 5 days 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.

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@lemmy.world 34 points 4 days ago (3 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.

I'm surprised they didn't just stretch the northern states to consume Canada. Perhaps they are afraid of giga Michigan and it's immense power.

BC is gone 🥺 As are NWT and Nunavut.

No idea what CL/CD (in BC) and MK (NWT) and KW (Nunavut) are supposed to refer to.

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

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

IS THAT SICILY!? Please maga cunts do try to go there. Sicilian people are ready to luigid you out this world, do you remember that pussy baby mike lynch?

[–] danekrae@lemmy.world 37 points 5 days ago (5 children)

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

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 45 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days 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.

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.

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)?
