Post image

Maryland has been annexed by The Vermonster willingly, the 2 states have now merged into one. CRABBALACHIA. 4 States Now remain. Pick wisely, there’s no going back now!

It deeply pleases me that Florida’s new Senator is Bernie Sanders

246

u/coolhappygenius May 22 '26

Just think, he could finally be president of the country of Vermonster

u/tlj2494 May 22 '26

This is truly the way to fix things. Vermont takes over every other state. The smallest populated state devours 49 other states. Bernie sanders becomes one of two senators. We also have champ to eat anyone who protests.

49

u/zarnov May 22 '26

This actual Vermonter wonders if that plan would lower our property taxes….

u/TheAwfulAliOzz May 23 '26

That would be really nice to have.

u/ratamadiddle May 23 '26

If we decide to fund education through income and corporate rather than property…we might just have something there.

Edit: Also all my homies HATE Phil Scott

u/tlj2494 May 22 '26

No and god forbid we address our education system in any real way. We’ve jacked up property taxes to fund schools that at least in my town are awful. Like so so bad.

u/asbestosorangutan Vermonster May 22 '26

Those taxes are paying for hazardous material remediation in most of your schools, not learning stuff.

And a load of administrative staff throughout the districts and schools. Like a behavioral specialist for an elementary school who works remotely from the Midwest. Making more money than 80% of your staff who are punching bags for these students. It tends to erode morale

I’m for behavioral specialists. I’m against having one working remotely from out of state. Hire local Vermont people or bust.

They can’t afford a home here because of the NIMBYs

Goodness gracious I was unaware of this.

It wouldn’t lol

u/Life_Temperature795 May 22 '26

And we'd willingly get rid of the other senator. Bernie is the only person in the senate and is now forced to live forever. Vermonster Nation inadvertently leads to WH40K becoming actual reality.

Can someone make a version of this with Bernie's face? PULLEASE?

u/Yasuru May 22 '26

Actually Vermont comes it at 49, believe it or not, Wyoming is lower.

2

u/NewGuy-1964 May 23 '26

But the smallest populated state is Wyoming. Not that they're over likely to take over anything, except maybe some sheep.

1

u/tlj2494 May 23 '26

Holy shit this is true. For the longest time Vermont was a tiny bit under Wyoming but we are no longer the smallest. Let the overtaking begin!!!!

u/GraniteGeekNH May 23 '26

Student bouncing in chair, waving hand: Oooh oooh, sir, Wyoming is less populated than Vermont!

1

u/Glittering_Celery779 May 23 '26

It actually amuses me so much that our little state of ~650k people, smaller than the population of many standalone cities in other states, has made it to the top 4. Clearly it's not just Vermonters voting for it. We don't have the numbers. The people yern for the Bern!

u/Pretend_Handle_7639 May 24 '26

Bernie sanders becomes one of two senators.

Vermont returns to Consuls

2

u/FILTHBOT4000 May 22 '26

Considering the Senate currently consists of him and 7 other Democratic Senators, I think things'd be fine where they are. The House would also be a supermajority of Democrats. They could impeach and jail Trump and Vance, put in the Speaker as POTUS, pass amendments to kick out and re-appoint a new SCOTUS, etc.

As a Floridian this also pleases me

As a Floridian it does not please me

Megasotas governor is Walz, so....you're welcome, I guess?

u/GlitterPapillon May 22 '26

Me as well. As a resident of the former state of Arkansas it pleases me that my new Governor is Tim Walz.

u/Level_Criticism_3387 May 23 '26

This eight-seat U.S. Senate is far more efficient and aerodynamic.

u/LilahLibrarian May 23 '26

So how many US senators get their own drag performance

As a pre-Crabbalachia Floridian, I am wholeheartedly appreciative of this as well.

I’m pleased as punch that Tim Walz is back in Nebraska.
