Send tate to florida. Then get out a saw, and cut Florida away and into the Ocean. Then use ropes to connect Hawaii and Alaska to the mainland.

Now you can claim that only connected states can be states. Also, international no fly, no sail zone 300 miles around florida at any time. No one leaves.

Bugs had the right idea in 1949.

The only way in or out is via gay party boat ferry.

Just wait 20 years. It’ll be underwater.

Great news for the folks inland...

Careful with that saw. There are allies there still.

That's Hillsborough County not Tampa the city, that goes Republican. We are pretty progressive inside the city but the sprawling county has enough people to drown us out.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I'm not calling out people based on their county. I just pulled an electoral map because it's a quick way to point out that Florida is potentially a purple state. It's got a lot of people supporting civil rights and other progressive goals. I don't want to see it sawed off and abandoned to its gerrymandered leadership. That's what I was trying to communicate.

As long as the electoral college exists, it really doesn’t matter, sadly.

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Fair enough. We should make it matter.

Too late. Dictatorships don't do reforms.

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

What if we ask even more nicely this time?

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Alaska is already connected to the mainland?

[–] bahbah23@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Canada isn't a US state yet

But they are the same piece of land...
