“We will be welcomed as liberators” says every dictator ever.

Honestly, do we really think America won't invade canada as soon as its farmland starts to fail from climate change?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

Canade already exports almost all it's produce to the US.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Why go to the bother of invasion. Use trade to force them.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Canada has the ninth largest economy in the world. Yes, America is larger but not so large that they don't rely on Canada for import/export. Starting a trade war with Canada would just see Canada move it's resources to a more fruitful source.

So sick and tired of people talking about Canada as though we're subservient or reliant on America. We are allies and friends. We work together because it works. The moment it stops working doesn't mean Canada will come crashing down and beg america for forgiveness.

You realise there is an order of magnitude difference between US and Canada right?

2 trillion compared to 30 trillion.

But you are right, they are very close countries and using trade to bully is not something that will happen and would put USMCA in trouble.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Ukraine is small compared to Russia and look at them.

I realise the discrepancy but it doesn't matter what size the bully is. You should always stand up for your rights. Sovereignty rights, Provincial, State, Human, Civil rights. There are always bullies out there.

Trans folks make up less than 1% of the fight. There are several orders of magnitude between their cause and almost any other, yet they fight.

Just because we're smaller doesn't mean we have to take their shit. America relies on Canada for large amounts of their lumber, construction goods, and energy. If Canada and Mexico decide to say goodbye then America is just as screwed.

The Republicans would never win another election again lmao.

'let's just add ~25 million left wing votes'

[–] ChairmanMeow 16 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

They can put them all in a single territory and not give them the vote.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago

Gerrymandering goes brrr

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

The people in this country are not left wing. Barely liberal at best. Average voter-wise.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

But the American Left is the Canadian Center. There'd be a fair few Conservative voters who'd vote Democrat and not change their ideology.

62% of Canadian conservatives said they would vote for kamala over trump

So like 75% of Canada would be considered left compared to American standards

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

OK, you fundamentally misunderstand left and right. Democrats are on the right wing. They aren't as far right as Republicans but they support capitalism, the free market, private insurance etc.

I like this one better:

Credit Atlas Pro

Only, these shouldn't be united states, they should be independent nations.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

You have put Atlanta in Florida and I cannot agree to that on any capacity, I’m sick just thinking about it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I didn't draw these borders, Atlas Pro did, and he drew these borders because they better account for geography, rather than just arbitrary straight lines. This isn't necessarily meant to be a final proposal, additions and refinements would be needed.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (3 children)

Those sorts of lines would make sense if we landed here from outer space and it had never been populated before. Otherwise that’s just ripping cultural areas apart

Edit: Michigan and Ohio literally fought a war against each other over Toledo. They would start another if forced to rejoin

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

I propose Toledo be dug out and flooded by lake Erie. Nobody wants it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Exactly this. If anyone thinks Texas is just gonna absorb most of NM, you're gonna have a bad time.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

As an Ohioans like hell I'm going to share a legislature with those freaks up north, no matter how much I wish my state voted like them.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

I’d rather Atlanta burn again than be in the hands of a Floridian. I get it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Spoken like a true Georgian.

As a Floridian, yall can keep your garbage state - other than Savaannah, that's a nice town.

OTOH, if this was real the band Florida-Georgia Line wouldn't make sense and would hopefully also drop off the map, so... maybe?

Edit: I just noticed they renamed South Carolina to Georgia...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Y'all already have St Augustine so Savannah is off the table, we'll offer Albany, Valdosta, and Phenix City. I can agree with you that Florida-Georgia Line ceasing to exist would be for the best of everyone.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

This makes no one happy

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

If you want to call a state "Jefferson" you're going to have to fight the crazies in Shasta county, (in northern California) for it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

Female person of color friend from the area ended my delusions of Calenbach's Ecotopia within minutes of telling me about who she grew up with in that version of the PNW

Ahahah everythis is US but not mexico 🤣

Except for the Yucatan peninsula, gotta keep the old pyramids and cultural sites in our hands for the tourism bucks. Gonna put a hotel right at the bottom of Giza 🤢🤮

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Na dude, that's where the aliens are

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'd rather die than become whatever the fuck Caledonia is. Also giving Alberta to Saskatchewan is hilarious.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Most people in BC would wind up in Washington or Lincoln, looks like those go up to around Kelowna latitude.

Anyway, who do I start punching for this?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I like that they consolidated the Dakotas but not Best Carolina where my partner lives and Worst Carolina where Dylan Roof and Lindsay Graham are from..

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

They put the North half of North Dakota into Pembina, though, so I don't know if that really counts as consolidation.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Having never heard or seen the word before, I still say that joining Pembina is a significant upgrade from North Dakota. Even if it DOES sound more like a genital deformity than a state.

"Did you hear that Carol's baby was born with pembina?" "Poor thing! I TOLD her those lead enemas during pregnancy was a bad idea, though!“

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago

I get including belize but thats also like half of guatemala that belize doesnt even claim and also why is yucatan also included? Same with the cantral american islands? Also taking greenland(which is still oart of denmark) and iceland is seriously fucking with europe. At that point you are waging war with basically every continent that exists.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago

Interesting to see them break up so many red States in this. Taking the time to make sure the Electoral College is balanced I guess?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago
[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Can’t even handle what they have now

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Hear me out what if we trade north Canada to the southern USA in exchange for the north USA?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That's slightly different. New Mexico exists in that one, and a region name is changed between Mississauga and Odawa

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Reddit OP has made several versions of the same map as part of an alternate history project. The one I shared is the most recent update; I couldn't track down the exact version from the tweet.
