Putin and other tankies showed the way so why not.

Settler state wants more land to settle

[–] Furbag@lemmy.world 13 points 14 hours 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.

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

[–] Womdat10@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 5 hours ago

They need somewhere to deport people to obviously/s

[–] abbiistabbii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 18 hours ago

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

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

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 hours ago

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.

Totally not fascist.

[–] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 11 points 18 hours ago (2 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.

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.

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?

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 22 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 19 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 18 hours ago

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

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.

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.

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

[–] M1nds3nd@lemmy.ca 7 points 21 hours ago

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

[–] BigBenis@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

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

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 9 points 22 hours ago (3 children)

Wait, why did they make Texas five states?

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 6 points 21 hours ago

Gerrymandering

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 5 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] jg1i@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Whoops. I knew that didn't look right.

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

[–] Agosagror@sh.itjust.works 3 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

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.

Legitimately what is wrong with these people?

They want a fascist leader and to invade their neighbours?

They know how that historically ends right?

Like the "you won't let me say a slur so I'm gonna be a nazi" thing was kinda supposed to be an overly reductive meme, but this guy's just out there living it.

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.

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

If you were Putin would you trust Trump of all people to stay loyal to you after you've given him what he wants?

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 1 points 14 hours ago

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

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 day 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.

Wait. I thought they didn't want foreigners coming into the US, doesn't this defeat the purpose of keeping them out?

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

I wonder what the history books can tell us about what we did with the people that were here before us ...

Ohh... Ohh my....

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 33 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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.

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.

[–] WatTyler@lemmy.zip 36 points 1 day ago

That's big fucking talk from a country that couldn't hold-on to half a Vietnam.
