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

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?
Totally not fascist.
Not Haiti? Hahaha
All this talk of expanding the USA from everyone is.... concerning.
Also this map includes Iceland, northern Sicily and the Faroe Islands. What?
Lol why not the rest of Mexico and Haiti as well?
Mexican here. Those are the states unpleasant accents so I'm on board with this plan.
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.
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.
How come they want a little chunk of Mexico and all of Nicaragua, but they don't the rest of Mexico?
They need somewhere to deport people to obviously/s
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.
Both democrats and republicans believe Latinos owe allegiance to the democrat party.
I don’t know if owe is the right word, but yeah, both parties assume they’ll go democrat and I think that’s a smug assumption typical of the elites. Granted trump was a dick to PR during hurricane Maria, but if he actually responded appropriately he’d likely have a lot more support than either party would realize. I think they should either be a state or gain full independence, this in between seems unfair to them. (And I feel that way about all of Americas territories subject to taxation without representation)
So, most of them then...
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.
Settler state wants more land to settle
Real putin Energy that one.
I would say Soloviev energy
"the peace president" they said...No war they said.
"We will be welcomed as liberators."
GW Bush Admin
Putin and other tankies showed the way so why not.
Putin is not a tankie; the dude is a literal billionaire who participated in gutting the USSR. How well did the haute bourgeosie fare under Lenin or Mao?
Perhaps he wasn't a stalinist around the time of USSR's deflation but he sure is like Stalin reincarnated today. And seeing as we are in lemmy, I need the feel to remind everyone that that is an extremely bad thing to be.
Stalin was a communist revolutionary who played an integral role in the creation of the USSR. Putin is a liberal counterrevolutionary, who is partly responsible for hypercapitalist modern Russia, the two are not comparable at all.
If by "he sure is like stalin", you mean he employs violence to maintain and consolidate power, that's every state ever, that's kinda how states work.
I've had multiple conversations with people here on Lemmy who seem to be under the impression that Stalin was a great dude who really just wanted to best for everyone, freedom and riches!
This is the point where you're an extremist without knowing that you're an extremist
& they wonder why we call them fascists.
This is why.
But hey...no immigrants. Dumb as hell.
