And if states are leaving, Mexico might reclaim Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico.

Maybe they'll finally split California in two and take part.

Donnie, making America great!

Grab Minnesota, Wisconsin and IL. I live in St. Louis to work but am from Illinois, so I can be in a blue state within 30 minutes.

I'd be fine with Illinois annexing blue STL as well.

where every statewide office is in the hands of Democrats and both houses of the state legislature are comfortably blue! Nevada is not nearly as blue! I mean, it's not like Hawaii or Alaska are attached to the mainland US.

keep in mind that such a union, even thought it would understandably appeal to many Americans, would decidedly not be in Canada's interest, in part, because:

. the number of Magats becoming Canadian would possibly exceed the present Canadian population (and Canada would in effect cease to exist).

. Quebec would have a shit-fit as their French language & culture would become even more irrelevant and difficult to sustain.

. the overall result would be two relatively weakened countries, at least militarily and economically, rather than one v strong.

As a Washingtonian I would be very happy to become a Canadian citizen.
MAGA stupidity and cruelty has ruined this once great country.
And I am only a stone’s throw from the border as it is.
