After pitching conspiracies that Democrats were bringing in undocumented immigrants to boost their political power, the MAGA cult is now proposing that America annex all these countries entirely? What?
Also, I’d love to know where that map comes from. I bet it’s very cool.

There’s some…interesting memetic energy on X being directed in support of US territorial expansion.
Given Trump’s recent rhetoric along similar lines, we should probably pay attention to it.

And every day, I am completely unsurprised to discover that they don’t have to “get” anything.
The irony is that, for a party filled to the brim with bottoms, there never seems to be a bottom.
But sure, annex a bunch of countries near your homeland so that the price can be paid both at home and abroad.

But what's extra funny about the map is the carving up of places 99% empty in order to (presumably), still bias the EC 'red''.
But Texas as a landlocked cube makes me happy.
If you look real close you can see what they cropped out of the original image...
As a Longhorn, it seems legit.

Conquer the continent!
Same people
-38 M people
-Leans “left” (at least relative to US perspective)
-We have a lot of public debt
-Do we get statehood + Electoral College votes + Senators? Or are we “Puerto Canada”
(They haven’t thought this through, have they?)
Lord give me strength.

No boarders, no illegal entry. Problem solved.

The disconnect and logic are astounding
2. Trump plans on deporting non-Mexicans to Mexico

I bet @kathleenbelew.bsky.social will know
- El Paso and the RGV should be together,
- Midland-Odessa should be in TX,
- The dividing line between Austin and whatever that is in East Texas should be the Brazos River (under this map, most of Houston is in Austin)
Wait, no, that's Velouria. Sorry. I was confused.
And eight or nine out of Québec, which would immediately double the size of Le dossier du Congrès.
Keep in mind though more than a few of these people are absolute whackobirds, some are really interesting, and some are both.

Quite a busy couple of yrs….
It's next to impossible to take these fools seriously but not literally when they are clearly unserious but literal. Like they actually think we could do this for free.

But what’s with WY getting split up? WY already doesn’t have the population to be a real state…

I'm guessing this map is basically a combination of all expansionist fantasies ever, plus every state division ever considered?

And then as the map gets to Manitoba, the creator clearly just went "meh - whatever, it's fine as is"
This is the kind of map you make if what you really want is to have a government for and by rural white landowners, capable of utterly dominating population centers against their will.
Which state would have the smallest population?

Idaho couldn't afford to purchase the empty land from us, let alone the infrastructure.
I say let them go away, more money for the rest of us to fix our bridges and roads and pay for things like hospitals and schools.

What a weird fantasy map.
If I have been correctly informed, it's Greenland that sits on untapped reserves of fossil fuels and rare earth minerals.
