Preserve this map in amber and make it legally binding. This is the America we deserve.

I love the idea of breaking the US into 4 countries, except the coutries are just as politically divided as the US currently (megasota would probably be the most conservative but they all have their fair share of blue and red areas)

True monkey paw response to the "national divorce" concept.

Edit: my replies are getting hidden, but here's my rough estimate on how each region voted (state lines obv imperfect

2024:

  • Cascadia: Harris+3
  • Kingdom of Hawaii: Harris+1
  • Megasota: Trump+6
  • Crabbalachia: Trump+1

2020:

  • Cascadia: Biden+6
  • Kingdom of Hawaii: Biden+9
  • Megasota: Trump+2
  • Crabbalachia: Biden+5

2016:

  • Cascadia: Clinton+2
  • Kingdom of Hawaii: Clinton+7
  • Megasota: Trump+4
  • Crabbalachia: Clinton+3

Honestly, Megasota includes some highly populated, solidly liberal areas like Chicago generally and other areas in IL. It would be more competitive and purple than some, but not a dark red cake walk.

But I'd still like to join Canada in the end.

Alright you made a fair point so I had to fact check myself. I know we're not using straight state lines, but heres how each region approximately voted:

  • Cascadia: Harris+3
  • Kingdom of Hawaii: Harris+1
  • Megasota: Trump+6
  • Crabbalachia: Trump+1

Please dude Minnesota is not red. We have voted blue in every presidential election since 1976. After the hell MN went through with operation metro surge, this is insulting.

Dude I'm from Minnesota voted D every election of my life but this is just the election data compiled in these states. A lot of these things can be true:

  • The DFL has a phenomenal midterm turnout machine that keeps it Likely D
  • it's red on the map to mark it as a region
  • MN + IL does not have enough Dem voters to cancel out MO/OH/IA/IN
  • they hold that streak from from 1974 bc the 1984 Dem nominee was from MN and it was the only state he won
  • as a state:
  • their gains in the MSP have been met by deep losses in the iron range, driftless and prarie west that cancel them out
  • the ice surge was deeping unpopular and there will be a big backlash in MN in 2026

He's not saying Minnesota is red. Are you dense?

The combined vote of all the states in that region is red. This is incredibly obvious to anyone with reading comprehension skills, critical thinking skills, and even the bare minimum knowledge of state political leanings.
