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.
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.
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
I wish New England would ~~secede~~ get bought by Denmark too...
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
Iirc California as a state has a larger GDP than most nations.
It's 4th or 5th which is insane.
The problem California would have as its own country would be defending the massive border it has with the failed state next door.
Is there a petition for Californians who support this?
With all the right-wing memes I've seen in the past, I'd think they would be happy to see it go.
at least until they realize how much California and other "blue" states fund their "red" states.
Republican voters don't learn lessons from experience. That's why they're Republican voters.
Those people would be so angry if they could do math.
They would be invading California to steal their resources and labor... Faster than JD Vance can fuck a couch.
We really need to cut off the red states. They’re a bunch of whiny shits who leech off the blue states and then make our politics toxic.
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 🤤
WE ACCEPT. OH MY FUCKING GOODNESS YES.
I'd take that deal. Where do I sign?
For the price of California (one dollar might be an agreeable option), I'm sure the people of the west coast would gladly throw in an Oregon & Washington for free!
God I need to move to a blue state
Please, Prime Minister Fredricksen. My people yearn for freedom. We will welcome you as liberators.
Well I’d be moving cross country to live in California.
Yes, please. How soon can this realistically happen, Denmark?
Everyone here going on about "take us too" and not one comment on how the Danes are going to logistically supply Danish Pastries to California without impacting their economy. Crips you'd have to float them through the Panama Canal. They'd be stale before they hit port. /s
I’ll go for free. Sign me up.
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.
Ok so instead of breaking the US up into the United states of Canada and Jesusland, I am totally cool with something like The Green States of America Land.
We could be a good neighbor to Canada and slowly transition Jesusland off of all the welfare money.
As a California citizen i vote yes please
We also have the right to unionize in our constitution
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
Burying the lede.
They should have opened with the pastries.
They had me at universal healthcare but I can see an argument for pastries.
They had me at pastries!
Come for the pastries, stay for the health care
I agree to these terms
USA'ian who lives in Denmark: let's do this shit. It'd probably be a big QoL increase for a fair few people in CA
Ok, Denmark, I think you need to rethink the last point after seeing just how much food Americans can put away...
Can NY be apart of this?
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)
Please do it. I will move there immediately
California has a GDP many times larger than Denmark
But the GDP per Capita is not insanely different, $85k vs 102k (source: wiki)
Yes, please.
