ITT: People pretending that Oregon, Michigan, and probably Washington don't have a huge population of total fuckos.

Carve a line down the coasts. You don't want the whole state. And while you're at it, take the lakes and Chicago

Canada also has its own population of total fucks. We keep them in the prairies. However like those states, it might be leaning more towards wanting that?

Yeah, East side of the cascades in OR and WA is extremely conservative. But they are currently hopelessly outnumbered.

It's the same in BC, east of the Cascades is also extremely conservative while coastal west side is where most of the liberals are. Even a good chunk west of the mountains are pretty conservative, it's mostly just directly within the Vancouver greater area that's liberal and then the island.

The Kootenays aren't conservative either

Mmm particular pockets are very liberal but other pockets can be quite conservative.

We had to accept Oregon in order to draw a line down to California. We sure as FUCK aren't accepting Idaho.

You don't have to take states in their entirety, you know. No reason you can't split them up

How about sky bridges between fortified independent city state enclaves?

Eastern Washington people have been wanting to separate from Western Washington for a really long time. Western Washington is like "well fuckin do it." But nobody actually tries to secede because EW's dependent on WW's economy.

Exactly. Canada should only take the west half.

So...there's a correlation between a lack of access to large bodies of water, and support for trump ?

[-] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

Big cities tend to get build near water and denser populations (exposure to a greater variety of people) tends to make them people less conservative.

The more remote you are, the more likely you are to be isolated in an echo chamber of xenophobia.

Oregon is already trying to redraw their state border with Idaho. Could just do that.
