They stepped up to help Ukraine, but not Palestine.

Canada looks more like Ukraine than Palestine, so there's at least a chance of someone stepping up to help Canada even if their motives aren't the best.

When Trump starts a war with Canada and Denmark, I'll have no choice but to leave and go live in a different country. I'll have to sell all my things just so I can take the plane. But where can I live? Is there even a place left on Earth I can live in?

I had many ideas on how my life was going to end, but not like this, a refugee who had to flee from Canada, the one place I used to think was relatively safe. Not anymore.

No one's going to help us, they don't care. They barely know we even exist. fml

Becoming hysterical over incredibly unlikely scenarios is self-harm and nothing more.

Trump says lots of s**t, but last I checked Mexico still hasn't paid for a wall on the US southern border. A successful invasion of Canada is less likely than Mexico paying for that big, beautiful wall like Donnie Dementia promised.

The US doesn't have the manpower to successfully Anschluß Canada unless a whole lot of Canadians are complicit.

Trump is already doing a good job of destroying Conservatism in the US. Wouldn't taking Canada into the union would pretty much ensure that the Democrats control the federal government?

Canada would just add 1 to 2 more senators for the democrats if it was the 51st state.


It doesn't make sense that the whole country would become a single state.

I suspect that they would demand that each province be its own state. Think ten more states with up to 20 Senators. I don't know much about the political breakdown in Canada but it wouldn't be impossible that 15 or more of them would be Democrats and may up to 5 Republicans. If the Republicans there aren't as radical as MAGA, then it could even be 18 or 19 Democrats and 1 or 2 Republicans.

Not only that, the House is, I think, currently fixed to a membership of 435 members. Some states would have to give up some representatives so that the Canadian states could get their share.

Remember, too, that this would affect the Electoral College.

If Canada had been US in 2024, it is not far fetched to think that Trump might still have won the Presidency, but both the House and the Senate would be under Democratic Party control.

I just dont see why Trump thinks getting up to 15 to 20 more democratic senators would be a good idea for the Republican Party. What would the Republicans do if Canada joined as 10 states...How would the zRepublicans make up the difference?

Maybe I'll move to New Zealand. I've never flown anywhere and it will be a very long and stressful trip, but this is a desperate situation. It's not like I'm going to hurry back. Also I may never be with my family members ever again. Unless they leave, too.

They wouldn't, but it's a moot point.

Canada isn't going to agree to be annexed so an occupation would be required. If the US is occupying Canada there's no need to worry about senators or representatives in the house because Canada wouldn't have them, much like Afghanistan and Iraq didn't get representation within the US government while under occupation.

It's like discussing what you'd fertilize with unicorn manure, without considering how the lack of unicorns makes any plans involving unicorn poop fantastical.

A whole lot of talk about a whole lot of nothing, that's never going to happen.

Since Trump is on it, can Lebanon be a US state as well? :P I wouldn't mind it.

A US State in the middle of mideast, surely is strategically beneficial.

There is an article in The Atlantic detailing how Hitler destroyed the Weimar Republic in 30 days, thereby making him absolute dictator over Weimar Germany. I’m starting to see the same parallels with Trump. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

There is one obvious way. Texas has 254 counties. Split Texas up so that each county in Texas becomes a state. That would be 508 Senators there. So 100 Senators - 2 current Texas Senators + 508 new Texas Senators. Remember that most of Texas is rural -- only a few of the new states would be Democratic.

Also, each of the new states would have at least one member of the House. Sure, a few such as Harris County and Dallas County would have more. Then out of the fixed 435 members of the House, 254 of of the new states would have more than 254 members in the House. Texas would dominate the House of Representatives.

And in the electoral college, there would be 1041 members of which at least 762 would be from what is now Texas.

Wouldn't it be fun to be from Lovng County as it goes to the State of Loving with a population of something like 70 people in the entire state?

Somehow, I don't see that scheme ever going into effect.
