We need that land as a um..safety buffer. yeah. Its for our safety. We dont feel comfortable around Canadians and Mexicans. Or our fellow Americans for that matter, they will need to go elsewhere.

Locusts.
I seriously think they’re looking at the Mercator versions of these maps and are having serious size envy. Trump probably thinks Russia is massive (granted it’s twice the size of the US) and wants the US to be that big too. If he knew the size of Africa he’d probably be going after that instead.
The State of Jefferson garbage in northern California is laughable. None of those clowns understand that states need to produce something to be financially viable, lest they simply mooch off of the federal government.
That area of CA produces nothing of real value, but then again, most red states do just mooch off of the federal government...
I live smack dab in the middle of "The 'state' of Jefferson" area and it's amazing how laughably disjointed the SoJ morons are. Functionally all the SoJ bumper stickers and other merch amount to a red flag when dealing with people.
I think their economic plan is "sell water"? A lot of the push is driven by resentment about Southern California stealing "our" water (and only giving back millions of dollars of tax money for projects that would be unsustainable for a sparsely populated rural state)

This was a map posted on a map subreddit a while ago, as a kind of alternative history/future. I can't remember the details but I remember seeing it.
Trump's voting base don't have the skill to make work like this, nor apparently the imagination. What this is indicative of is that a portion Trump's voting base is dreaming of war and conquest, and in lieu of recent comments by Trump, Trump too.
Don't question the map, I'm sure someone with some time can find the original poster but it would have been made for some fun.
Is that the Philippines in the corner there?
Reminds me of Japan taking Hawaii in terms of how far of a stretch it is.
The Philippines was an American colony between the Spanish-American War and WWII, so it's not as ludicrous as (for example) the Greenland part.

Is there a reason they only want some of central america? And why only part of those islands? Might as well make it all solid as long as we're dreaming.

There are probably a thousand comments to be made, but the one I'll say is, MAGA thinks Texas, The Lonestar State, is going to cede territory? We can't even agree on statehood for DC or Puerto Rico.
