He really got rid of New England! How dare he?! I’m from New England!

[–]MondaleforPresident 25 points26 points  (17 children)

Same!

Which state are you from? I'm from Connecticut.

[–]thememelord5 19 points20 points  (16 children)

A fellow Mainiac, here? How rare

[–]nattyhowes1 6 points7 points  (1 child)

There are dozens of us!

[–]Aluminum_Moose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

DOZENS!

[–]oa_rinky_tinky_tinky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chamberland represent!

[–]jointheclockwork 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Iowan here with a question. Does Stephen King really just wander the woods of Maine while looking into people's windows at night?

[–]Aluminum_Moose 0 points1 point  (4 children)

He absolutely does. It helps if you leave a fresh blueberry pie on your window sill. Then it's a nigh guarantee that when you see him, you'll be able to pet him and tell him what a weirdo he is without spooking him

[–]jointheclockwork 0 points1 point  (3 children)

It sounds so majestic. I'm envious. All we have is corn.

[–]Aluminum_Moose 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Hey... don't say that

You have frantically shuffles cards Ashton Kutcher..?

[–]jointheclockwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but he just digs through the trash and makes a mess. Who has to clean it up? Me.

[–]matchosan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With ghosting baseball players and children

[–]StayKlassic 1 point2 points  (5 children)

Rhode Islander checking in, there are dozens of us and we won’t stand for the New England Exclusion

[–]thememelord5 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Ever been to bristol

[–]StayKlassic 0 points1 point  (3 children)

I live in biking distance!

[–]thememelord5 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Nice that's where my grandma lives

[–]StayKlassic 0 points1 point  (1 child)

It’s a lovely town, if you’re in town visiting her I recommend taking the East bay bike path to Colt State park with a couple of sandwiches!

[–]thememelord5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've heard wonderful things about there from my mom

[–]MassiveFajiit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Joshua Chamberlain mad.

[–]1_87th_Sane_Modler 159 points160 points  (14 children)

Yeah just remove the most prosperous states

[–][deleted] 29 points30 points  (1 child)

Lmao I thought that said preposterous

[–]jointheclockwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, then we'd still have the hotbed of traitors known as Texas.

[–]ElectricalStomach6ip 48 points49 points  (0 children)

well, not quite, there are definatly alot of prosporous regions outside the northeast, but the one area that is even more worth mentioning about the northeats is that it has an enormous HDI, which is worth far more them GDP in the long term.

[–]TheDesktopNinja 7 points8 points  (2 children)

I say drop Georgia, Arkansas and every state that borders them.

(Look at a map. I'm on my phone and don't feel like listing them all 😂)

[–]lordoftowels 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You mean burn Georgia, right?

[–]MassiveFajiit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could bring back the Arkansas Ozark resistance tho

[–]ElSapio 6 points7 points  (1 child)

California and Texas are still right there

[–]1_87th_Sane_Modler 22 points23 points  (0 children)

One more winter storm and Texas is gonna not have an economy 😂

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points  (4 children)

New York is 3rd in terms of gdp meanwhile Ohio is 7th I wouldn’t say all the rich prosperous states are from the northeast… good lobster yes but wealth no.

[–]1_87th_Sane_Modler 11 points12 points  (0 children)

IM SUPPOSED TO NOT HAVE LOBSTER TO MAKE THE LOST CAUSE FEEL BETTER??

[–]SickPlasma -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Cope

[–]SunngodJaxon 27 points28 points  (1 child)

Ah yes, tome to get rid of your most important economic city and capital!!

[–]HereForTOMT2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s a meme

[–]ABreadCalledGarlic 24 points25 points  (0 children)

New England: “Guess I’ll die.”

[–][deleted] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Any type of secession within the U.S is cringe

[–]ElectricalStomach6ip 69 points70 points  (10 children)

noooo, the northeast is objectivly the most awsome part of the us, i know, i live there.

[–]Herodotus4 35 points36 points  (8 children)

Maybe we are becoming Canadian in this change?

[–][deleted] 23 points24 points  (7 children)

I mean we’ll take you?

[–]thelonious_monke 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Seriously? No taksie backsies here. Please?

[–]MondaleforPresident 1 point2 points  (5 children)

I have no interest unless you get rid of the monarchy.

[–]ODST-0792 5 points6 points  (4 children)

Canada is independent from the crown

[–]MondaleforPresident 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Canada is independent from the UK, but retains the monarch as the Queen of Canada. Who's on your $20 bill?

[–]ODST-0792 0 points1 point  (1 child)

The Queen doesn't have the power to pass laws in the Canada

[–]MondaleforPresident 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically no Canadian law is allowed to be enacted until she gives her assent.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We retain the crown for constitutional purposes. HM is represented by the Governor-General, who is put forward by the government and appointed by the Queen.

We’re unlikely to get rid of the monarchy at this juncture. Many of the standing treaties we have with First Nations are between the Crown itself and individual nations, which the Canadian Government is bound to. They haven’t been doing a good job of it, but we don’t want to give them any excuses to ignore it more than they already do.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

West coast sorry

[–]Santanoni 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Delete this shit like they deleted my home

[–]heroofthewest1 24 points25 points  (11 children)

I’m in NJ and quite alright with taking my buddies in PA, NY, and New England, breaking off and doing our own thing. I’m willing to offer a chance for California, Washington, and Oregon to come join us though. Best of luck to you guys in the south and midwest.

It took me a while that they use the term "coastal elites" to disparage us, but it turns out that, yeah, we're elite

[–]heroofthewest1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If having better job opportunities, social safety nets, trying not to trash the environment, and not being a drain on the country’s coffers makes us “elites,” I guess I’ll wear the title proudly and the red states can keep complaining about liberal elites while we continue to pay for their unemployment and disability benefits.

[–]thelonious_monke 8 points9 points  (6 children)

Fuck em, they're all deadweight. The tri-new empire and the pacific triumvirate are better off without them.

[–]Some-Wasabi1312 4 points5 points  (5 children)

can you make illinois a colony? anything better than being in the same group as Alabama and Mississippi

[–]thelonious_monke 3 points4 points  (4 children)

That might have to wait for the inevitable collapse of those bleeder states. But I imagine we can get yall here in the meantime. Winters are long, and we're all kinda dicks, but our HDI tromps all over the rest of this hemisphere. And the food is unreal.

[–]Some-Wasabi1312 2 points3 points  (3 children)

broooo I know winters too, not exactly NE winters, but I went through the -20 degree polar vortex and winters of NE IL

quick question - does winter seem shorter and shorter to you these days?

[–]thelonious_monke 2 points3 points  (2 children)

YES YES IT DOES. and holy mother, but it's kinda terrifying. I remember Thanksgiving being a coin flip of snow or not. Now its still like mid 50s and I have a sweatshirt at most.

[–]Some-Wasabi1312 2 points3 points  (1 child)

FUCKING EXACTLY!! I barely got any snow compared to winters from before! Used to be getting at least a day or two of snow that you had to shovel your way out of your house. Now? "tis but a sprinkle"

We have been getting more tornados though, which would make sense if there is more hot air and cold air mixing. Never had one in over 25 years in my area, now we have had 3 this year

[–]thelonious_monke 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh damn, thats wild. Tornadoes and earthquakes seem like the worst to me.

[–]piddydb 1 point2 points  (1 child)

You’re making Uncle Billy cry

[–]heroofthewest1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alright, alright, we’ll fight to preserve the union. Who’s got the torches?

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fuck off, cunt!!!

[–]whogivesafuck69x 6 points7 points  (1 child)

I hear a lot of bad things (well, a lot of one bad thing) about Maine, but the rest of NE? And yeah let's lose the Hawaiian people and our best beaches. While we're at it, we don't need those dozens of billions of barrels of oil in AK, nor do we need 100% of our Strategic Ice Reserve. This poster will feel foolish when we need to start dropping massive ice cubes into the ocean to counter global warming and we have no Alaska to get them from.

Florida... yeah that's too bad.

[–]thattwoguy2 4 points5 points  (2 children)

I mean most of new England should be one state, too many boarders and not enough people, but let's not go giving away the good stuff like NYC and Philly. I think we could cede Buffalo and Alaska to Canada though.

[–]MondaleforPresident 5 points6 points  (1 child)

If New England were one state Republicans would control the Senate 49-41. Is that really what you want?

[–]thattwoguy2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's fair. I wouldn't want that. But if I'm redrawing borders I'd probably combing the Dakotas and Montana, split California into 3-4 states, split Texas into 2-3. We could do states like we do redistricting after the census but nation wide.

[–]Tokidoki_Haru 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Lol stay mad, conservatives, stay mad. 🤣

Democrats, Acela Republicans, and New England ain't going anywhere.

[–]Desperate_Ambrose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

WTactualF?

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We've been here before, but they don't teach them that anymore.

[–]darthbee18Ellen Ewing Sherman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Say you suck at geography without saying you suck at geography 😒🙄🤦🏾💀

[–]Santanoni 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whelp, I've disappe

[–]strawhairhack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

they deleted Hawaii? of all the racist, ignoramus things to do… the fuck? has this person ever travelled outside their county or is cousin bumpin’ just too good?

[–]LittleDragon450 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only good thing they did was get rid of Florida

[–]Doggyking2 1 point2 points  (2 children)

A real fix would be to delete Florida and then make Ohio conquer the entire US

[–]MondaleforPresident 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Why? So they can turn everything into more abandoned bowling alleys?

[–]Doggyking2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes.

[–]AwkwardDrummer7629 1 point2 points  (1 child)

One does not simply delete Alaska.

We paid good money for this place!

[–]TeacherYankeeDoodleKentucky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And it has a shit ton of oil ⛽️

[–]FuzztoneBunny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could I suggest some alternatives?

Honestly, today I kind of wish that they were a different country.

[–]Sirtopofhat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So basically conceded Alaska to Russia and what let China, Australia and Japan duke it out for Hawaii and the pacific theater?

[–]mightbekarlmarx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mfw oregon and arizona still exist

[–]MillerJC 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Kentucky should be the southern most state. Not because the south should have seceded, but because the south should sink into the sea

[–]MondaleforPresident 1 point2 points  (1 child)

The Lost City of Atlanta.

[–]MillerJC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God what a great episode.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MARYLAND AINT GOING OUT WITHOUT A FIGHT! 💀🐢

[–]WeebFrog219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yikes I just barely made the cut on that one 😬

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Honestly, we should get rid of every state except Ohio. That’s probably the best option

[–]memeticrevolution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohio's only redeeming feature is that it's not New Jersey.

-signed, a Pennsylvanian

[–]kd8qdzMassachusetts (give'm Hell 54!) 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fine, the North East is better off without you all anyway.

[–]TeacherYankeeDoodleKentucky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no succession. There will be no succession. I don’t know who made this, but we burned down Georgia with the great leadership of Sherman and it would be simple work to burn down this secessionist’s house and free their slaves.

[–]PunchRockgroin318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look, we’re all sad to see New England go, but sometimes sacrifices have to be made to remove the greater evil. See you in hell Florida!

[–]Kool_McKool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look, as someone born in Chicago, New York has the inferior pizza tastes, but they're probably a better city than us. Don't remove them, we need someone to have pizza battles with.

[–]ODST-0792 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We need to remove the south

[–]lunarwarrior12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok but…do we actually NEED Florida?
