I'm a big fan of Cascadia. This map is just imperialist madness.

Wait. I thought they didn't want foreigners coming into the US, doesn't this defeat the purpose of keeping them out?
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 wonder what the history books can tell us about what we did with the people that were here before us ...
Ohh... Ohh my....
That's big fucking talk from a country that couldn't hold-on to half a Vietnam.
How about we start by making Puerto Rico and DC states
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.
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.

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

Maga is just little kids in the body of grown men. Also all of those states would vote dem or even third party if this actually happened so republicans would cease to exist.
... rural mexicans? Are you sure about that?
Lol why not the rest of Mexico and Haiti as well?
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.
these weirdos don’t even know what’s really going on
I just like Texas getting carved up into half a dozen different mini-states for some reason. Like, who actually wants this, other than some dipshit trying to count to 100? You'd have more luck carving up Colorado, Michigan, or Pennsylvania.
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)?

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.
I wonder if this American expansionism is going to cause friction with Putin. There's o way in he'll he is going to support it.

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

My first thought was, fuck yeah! I'm game for a North American Union. But it appears that's not what they meant.

Yeah sure… but start by adopting the metric system, then we’ll talk.

Northern Sicily had me rolling, especially without Gibraltar.
