If I lived in CA, I’d vote for this. But, also, California could easily make it as its own country.
I wish it fucking would.
Washington here. Let’s make Cascadia or Pacifica real.
I’m not even on your coast – LITERALLY the other side of the continent in New England – and i am rooting for you SO FUCKING HARD
GLORY TO CASCADIA!
I wish New England would
secedeget bought by Denmark too…Cascadia?
The land of…
?I’d move there if that was what Cascadia meant
I kind of wonder if Cascadia could be peacefully done. I mean, most Republicans despise California, and have no love for Oregon or Washington. I wonder if there would be a peaceful way for them to be like “hey, we’re just going to separate off. We’ll set up really good trade relations at the start, and have fairly open immigration policy between our countries (to let the more left leaning in, and the more… diplomatically, let’s say right-leaning out) for a few years.” Then each fucks off their own way, Colorado laments it’s position in a sea of deep red (sorry y’all), and Cascadia can write a new constitution that doesn’t suck donkey balls and allow for the worst loopholes and lack of enforcement.
Edit: and the official song could be Cascada’s “Evacuate the
Dance FloorRed States.”I always wanted New England to join Canada and be part of the Maritimes so that the time zone would make more sense. And so New Englanders could get healthcare that wasn’t tied to employment
California here. I’m on board.
I’m in Illinois and would like to throw our hat in the ring. We’re closer to you than Hawaii is and would make a nice, friendly stop over.
We’re closer to you than Hawaii
checks facts… Oh, wow! 😱🤓🤙🏽
Sounds good to me!
Meanwhile Taiwan and the South China Sea goes bye bye, and Russia takes the Baltics.
A new world order. Woo.
A new world order. Woo
This, but not sarcastically.
The current world order sucks big floppy donkey dick.
Not saying that I would want the specific one YOU’RE imagining, but this one has been rotten since its inception. As was the previous one ever since Thatcher, Reagan, and Bananarama established it.
The problem is, so would the fascists, because they think they would win the ensuing civil war, which is a pretty solid bet as long as they are in charge of the military, which they are, and they will stay in charge until they force the civil war that they believe they will win. We are watching it happen in real time. They aren’t even waiting for those “catalyzing events” that they are priming for, because they’re behind schedule, so they are going to just go ahead anyway. Look, nobody is doing shit about it anyway, and if they did- well yhere you go, martial law and suspended elections straight away.
The military will do as they are told by the chain of command. Who’s in command is dictated by a deeply flawed system that only ever pretended to be democratic. These were always the inevitable distal results. Call me doomey. Watch the world and see the facts and call me doomey.
We are not dealing with geniuses here. It’s pretty obvious what they planned. It’s like watching the evil guys in a dumb marvel movie. It’s really not that complicated.
Prophecy over.
Who’s in command is dictated by a deeply flawed system that only ever pretended to be democratic.
You’re right. The founding fathers did not intend to create a democracy. They created a republic with elected leaders who were chosen exclusively by wealthy, educated white men.
We certainly can’t fault them for not foreseeing how much American society – and the electorate – would change and how little the Constitution would change.
I truly believe that if they had any inkling how little we would change the Constitution in 250 years, they would have written a whole article requiring a Constitutional Convention every 25 or 50 years.
they think they would win the ensuing civil war, which is a pretty solid bet as long as they are in charge of the military,
Not so fast. We’re in charge of the military’s technology, not r enough of it to make a difference. Let them come but they may be surprised at what they end up targeting
The problem California would have as its own country would be defending the massive border it has with the failed state next door.
I would vote yes knowing full well it would never happen.
If it can solve its water source problem.
I’m sure someone will come in and tell me why this is a dumb idea, which is why I’m asking…
But why wouldn’t nuclear power plants and desalination plants render water issues a thing of the past?
Is it no other reason than the hurdles of nuclear boogeymen?
The cost of energy inputs for desalinization and mitigating the environmental impacts of saline outflows make it impractical for many users of water (many irrigation, agriculture, and industrial users.) The Sun still operates the best desalinization plant on a global scale.
Well, there’s been breakthroughs that make desalination much more energy efficient https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-025-09769-3
California’s GDP 9.5x Denmark’s
https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=California+gdp%2F+Denmark+gdp
Iirc California as a state has a larger GDP than most nations.
It’s 4th or 5th which is insane.
I wonder if it would stay like that on its own in a nationally divided disunited states of America.
Nope, we would not. But we’re okay going down in the ranks so long as we separate ourselves from the batshit crazy people running the US.
5th previously, but recently we went up to fourth!
We also have the right to unionize in our constitution
You can store screws or sewing kits in there.
I’ve heard rumours that some people have cookies in those. But surely that’s just a myth.
Am Danish, can confirm.
I recently (December) bought a tin for myself for the first time ever and they were almost as great as I remember from my early childhood in the 80s 🤤
Does it now have screws or sewing equipment in it?
Nah. I’m a rebel like that.
Ah, so it’s become your weed stash.
I will neither confirm nor deny your hypothesis 😁
I usem for USB sticks and assorted computer paraphernalia.
This would help me finding my stick with the CV…
I’d take that deal. Where do I sign?
Ok, Denmark, I think you need to rethink the last point after seeing just how much food Americans can put away…
Canada should do this to ancquire Alaska too.
there’s no good reason it’s not part of Canada. It’s not even the US’s land.
It lies directly next to Canada, it’s not even connected to the USA. Psychologically, Canada needs it.
Yeah, so they weren’t there first, don’t own the land, and it makes no sense every tone I look at a map.
Also don’t forget Canada needs it for national security.
The only problem is that there are Trumpy Americans living there. It would be like having another Alberta.
Canada can invade New England to balance out those Trumpies. I already have my maple syrup ration plus smuggled in some Tim’s
California is fine. They need to buy Florida.
Why would they intentionally give themselves a debuff like that?
Denmark: “How much for Florida?”
USA: “Florida is not for sale!”
Denmark: “I know. I’m asking how much you’re willing to pay me to take Florida.”
USA: 🤔
We make fun of it, but Florida Man is an agent of chaos that’s essential to the American identity.
This whole comment section sounds like a game of Monopoly and it’s hilarious. “I’ll trade you Boardwalk for States Avenue.”
Hey man, some people really like a fixer upper. Even though the fixer upper in question here really needs to be torn down to the dirt.
Would make more sense if they offered to buy Utah or Alabama or some other state that wouldn’t want to be bought by a country with a sane government.
I mean by what right does California belong to the USA. I mean all they did was roll a wagon onto the land 500 years ago. Who’s to say the Danish didn’t around the same time too?
(sorry indigenous Californians your righteous and original claim doesn’t help me make my point)
I think the Spanish were here first. And then it was part of Mexico…
IIRC the Spanish took over the land as a place to put the Muslims after the Iberian “crusades”.
Ok, I’m not trying to be factually accurate. I’m trying to point out the idiocy of trump’s comments
California has only been a thing since the mid 19th century, so half that time lol
Ah I see, you were thinking the sarcastic response to trumps factually inaccurate statement should be factually accurate. Got it.
Didn’t mean it sarcastically 😕
I meant that I was being sarcastic in my first post, not you. I was copying what Trump said about Greenland and Denmark landing a boat there and applying it to california to try to show how ridiculous his position is. I was not trying to be factually accurate. I was trying to poke fun at him. It seems it was either not as obvious as I thought or just a bad joke.
Have they considered Oregon, too? We have hipsters and beer.
Shush about the hipsters
Hipsterslego enthusiasts.
I honestly believe there are more people who would like the USA to become a part of Denmark than there are people who want Greenland
Can I sign Texas up for this?
Whose lifetime?
Just keep Your black licorice to Yourself Denmark.
Give it to me.
California has a GDP many times larger than Denmark
But the GDP per Capita is not insanely different, $85k vs 102k (source: wiki)
Did you mean “New Denmark would have a GDP more than ten times old denmark”?
