Are we in the Fallout timeline? Gonna annex Canada, and then lose Alaska to China right before the nukes get dropped.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Better slave owners than trump have tried.
Americans didn't pick up on the subtlety of the response.
Trump won't.
If you noticed, you'd learn a little about the dynamic between the Hair Guy and Orange Moron.
It'd got all the hallmarks of special ed. And of the two, one of them worked in education and can spell the word.
Quebec isnt going to be happy
Well considering quite a number 500 000 of French Canadians left for the US, I don't believe it would be an issue... There are still a lot of French Canadians American in the US....
Shame we don't have the housing to support mass immigration from blue states.
Our governors are working hard to wall us off from the fascism.
A better idea
I'll never surrender a single decent person to the god-botherers and rapists.
Tbh Jesusland would also probably try to invade and annex large parts of Mexico for some (completely unnecessary) lebensraum
Updated for 2024/5:
Jesusland includes Wisconsin, Pennslyvania, Michigan, and Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba.
Illinois, New Mexico and Colorado go to USC, but they're basically in a Lesotho situation.
Yes please
Nah we keep Alaska too.
And probably lose Alberta for a few years. It would be like brexit- let us back in please
He’s not even in office yet? Is this even legal?
It's absolutely not. See: Logan act.
I tell you what, we'll trade you Alberta and Saskatchewan, the BEEF, OIL, AND GAS POWERHOUSES OF CANADA for your libcucked latte sipping west coast states California, Oregon, and Washington.
That's three of our best states. California is one of our biggest economies, has most of our tech sector (Washington being another one) and has a good use of solar energy. Oregon is beautiful.
You can just have Texas and Florida. No trade required.
No, you keep those two
No way in hell that we are taking Texas and Florida!
That's three of our best states
I had to try.
And no, we won't take them back.
Can't we just form a new country with British Columbia? The four of us are basically the same cultural region.
That's such an American thing to say lol.
No we are very culturally distinct in subtle but important ways. Expats stick out here more than they think, it isn't just about accent or removing your shoes.
I have lived in all four west coast states, so I'm pretty familiar. Obviously they're not all the same, but there are a lot of similarities in culture compared to states I have lived in on the east coast.
Proving my point, eh
You're roughly describing "Cascadia"
I'm well aware. I considered excluding southern California because I'm no fan, but they're not all bad. We can always expel them later if we need to.
There's a mockumentary about Germany becoming one single canton of Switzerland. Life really does imitate art.
It's called Der grosse Kanton, if anyone's interested.
Hey, Donnie, how about granting DC, who actually want it, statehood first? (We all know why not, they vote the wrong way.)
granting DC statehood would also mean they’d have to change all the license plates. and that’s going to be such a hassle. would it even be worth it? we’d have to think of a new slogan, and it most likely wouldn’t be nearly as witty as the old one. not to mention having to go out and change every single one on every car
And Puerto Rico
They have to stop voting against it first.
They already voted to become a state, it's in Congress hands now
