Brian Taylor Cohen is a paid shill.
But…
…this is a great offer from the Danes. I say take it, California.
Ok so instead of breaking the US up into the United states of Canada and Jesusland, I am totally cool with something like The Green States of America Land.
We could be a good neighbor to Canada and slowly transition Jesusland off of all the welfare money.
How?
slowly transition Jesusland off of all the welfare money
Jesusland is exceedingly ungrateful for the generosity of California. (and New York.)
Please, Prime Minister Fredricksen. My people yearn for freedom. We will welcome you as liberators.
They had me at pastries!
Come for the pastries, stay for the health care
You’re gonna need it with that lifetime supply.
And gun control.
Solvang has entered the chat.
Please take the other 49 states too
California’s constitution considers California as inseparable from the United States. Congress would have to want to get rid of California.
We change our constitution all the time by direct initiative.
Is there a petition for Californians who support this?
Well I’d be moving cross country to live in California.
Mind stopping through Tennessee and giving a brother a lift? 🇩🇰
Same
With all the right-wing memes I’ve seen in the past, I’d think they would be happy to see it go.
at least until they realize how much California and other “blue” states fund their “red” states.
Those people would be so angry if they could do math.
They would be invading California to steal their resources and labor… Faster than JD Vance can fuck a couch.
That’s pretty fast
Republican voters don’t learn lessons from experience. That’s why they’re Republican voters.
We really need to cut off the red states. They’re a bunch of whiny shits who leech off the blue states and then make our politics toxic.
Take Philly pls 👀
Yes, please.
Yes, please. How soon can this realistically happen, Denmark?
Realistically? Never.
California is literally almost 10x the size and 7x the population of Denmark. And just the logistics of having to manage a dependency this large that’s at least a 12 hour flight away would be a nightmare, both economic and organizational.
This would likely be one of the biggest dogs any tail has ever attempted to wag (certainly in modern times) besides the British rule of India, perhaps, and we all know how that turned out.
You can be like Greenland and have autonomy. I think Denmark would be fine with a similar arrangement.
The problem is that Denmark would be responsible for defending it, and logistically, that would be a nightmare. There is basically no efficient way to ship an army there without crossing US-controlled territory, be it via land (impossible), sea (US took back control of the Panama canal, remember?), or air (minimum 12 hour nonstop flight, and that’s only if you’re crossing US airspace).
On top of that, Denmark only has 6 Million people, so even if they shipped literally all of their soldiers there it probably wouldn’t be enough to realistically hold it against a US invasion. Trump could simply order the US military to take it back and they’d likely finish the job in less than a week. Sure, Denmark could draw from the local population and invest in massive military training programs, but that would take years to accomplish and likely cost a good chunk of even their combined GDP (which they’ve already pledged to universal healthcare and a free Danish cookies).
California has nukes.
No. The US federal government does.
Like the Soviet Union did in Ukraine.
In this specific case, they’re on nuke subs based out of San Diego. I’d say there’s a coin flip chance a few of those stay on California’s side in this ridiculously contrived fantasy scenario.
Right, because Trump would definitely just pull all the federal military out and leave all their equipment behind like Biden did in Afghanistan. /s
In that case they maybe should take Florida, bulldoze it, and start over.
Florida would certainly be a lot more realistic (shorter land border, much easier to reach by sea and air without having to cross US territory). Still 4x the size of Denmark however. Would definitely be a stretch, although not quite as huge as California.
I thought that India thing was going well. I’ve been reading news papers in order of date from the first one so I’m current on June 23rd 1757. Let’s just have a look-see
Oh… my god…
Unlikely. California has a number of national labs including Lawrence Livermore National Lab which does atom bomb work. The University of California system does at least some of the administration for at least two major weapons labs (LLNL and Los Alamos).
“fact-based politics”… lol uh huh
