      It’s pretty sad what happened to Hawaii. They really want nothing to do with the US if you strip away everything else.

      Everyone should look up the fucked up stuff Mark Fuckerberg is doing over there.

    I’m aware that the Treaty of Hidalgo formalised and legalised the US annexation of Texas and New Mexico, but the US Southwest was literally stolen, to begin with, from Mexico.

    Time for reconquista!

    Fuck off with that flag for California, we have dozens of them from the bear flag revolt that could be used assuming we don’t just stick with the one we’ve been using since the revolt and they go with the worst one. I know it’s source and it was quiet literally lost outside of a photo because it was tossed in the trash.

    This kind of map really shows how much people use alternate history to think through fears and ‘what ifs.’ Even when it’s exaggerated, it’s interesting as a reflection of the moment more than a prediction.

      It’s great fodder for future creative works.

      Much like most post apocalyptic works, it let us theory craft how things could be different

    As a Wisconsinite, I have 3 thoughts:

    1. I would hope to be a full province, not just an [occupied] territory of Canada, so that I’d be represented.
    2. I’d still be happier as a Canadian territory than a US state, given the way the US is going.
    3. I actually really don’t want my Wisconsinite neighbors represented. This place is redder than you think. Maybe a territory is best.

      The territories in Canada still get to vote and be represented, you would likely become a province because of your population. Well I will take that back I do not think you would get a vote if you are occupied, but keep your neighbours believing in the colour red. Canada like the rest of the democratic world uses red to think of liberals.
