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

[–] Furbag@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

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.

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

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

[–] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 9 points 5 hours ago (1 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.

[–] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 hours ago

I know it's a joke, but Mexico has been a US colony since the NAFTA was established.

[–] SapphironZA@sh.itjust.works 12 points 6 hours ago

Totally not fascist.

[–] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 hours ago

Mexican here. Those are the states unpleasant accents so I'm on board with this plan.

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 13 points 8 hours ago

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.

Lol why not the rest of Mexico and Haiti as well?

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 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?

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

Its a mixture of multiple things, some are historic american expansion ideas such as Cuba, Canada, Northern Mexico, and the Yucatan while others are colonies Philippines or historically occupied regions Iceland, Faroe islands, and Sicily. Also some states are split up for some fucking reason. I dont know what the fuck is going on with Nicaragua and why it only maps out the Dominican republic side of Hispaniola.

Edit: I just remembered that some Americans at one point tried conquering Nicaragua to recreate the Federal Republic of Central America. So that explains that.

My fish have ick. I'm doing what I can for them. Nazis get no ick treatment. Let the parasites fester in their skin for a thousand suns.

[–] M1nds3nd@lemmy.ca 7 points 8 hours ago

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

They have suffered a lot.

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 18 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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 8 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Yes, I am sure all existing empires will now last until the end of time.

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 5 hours ago

I don't mean to say that, but they might be much sturdier.

Wait, why did they make Texas five states?

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago

They also divided California, but added Baha California to the southern end.

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago

Gerrymandering

Why would the largest fifedom not simply eat the smaller ones?

[–] GaMEChld@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

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.

[–] Prethoryn@lemmy.world 48 points 14 hours ago (2 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.

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 7 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 hours ago

Why wouldn't he want a large vassal state that he could one day easily absorb?

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 12 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

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.
