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.

Do you want to get the white house burnt down again?

I'd like to know what they plan to do with Iceland and Sicily. Two very oddball selections there. At least The Philippines was once a US territory.

It's not only economically silly because they would lose the entirety of Europe, but it's also an insult Canada.

Canada was there on DDay, 9/11 and countless other tragedies / disasters. I doubt this would be popular with americans in the military. Theyve been fighting alongside canadians for decades if not a century now.

So was Mexico and it hasn't exactly stopped them from being wildly racist at them.

Maybe try to govern one country without fucking it up again.

Deranged fascists: We need to redraw the maps of the states to make it more even, Texas should be split up.

OK so how about California?

Deranged fascists: ....

How about new york?

Deranged fascists: ...

(The other 46 states)

What bout Wyoming?

Deranged fascists: yes split it, up we'll call it AB(raham?) And it'll have the population of a Chicago suburb.

We need that land as a um..safety buffer. yeah. Its for our safety. We dont feel comfortable around Canadians and Mexicans. Or our fellow Americans for that matter, they will need to go elsewhere.

So abolish the United States and replace it with a union of North American nations? I'd be cool with that.

Where's this from? (I'm probably out of the loop.)

Whoever it is, I at least appreciate that they didn't fuck up MIMAL or his pan of Kentucky-fried chicken.

I seriously think they’re looking at the Mercator versions of these maps and are having serious size envy. Trump probably thinks Russia is massive (granted it’s twice the size of the US) and wants the US to be that big too. If he knew the size of Africa he’d probably be going after that instead.

At least now it'll be funny, since a Colonizer is taking the land of another Colonizer

The State of Jefferson garbage in northern California is laughable. None of those clowns understand that states need to produce something to be financially viable, lest they simply mooch off of the federal government.

That area of CA produces nothing of real value, but then again, most red states do just mooch off of the federal government...

Is that the Philippines in the corner there?

Reminds me of Japan taking Hawaii in terms of how far of a stretch it is.
