Unironically, please? I don’t wanna be part of Jesusland anymore
Southwest Canada reporting in. I’ll admit we’re flirting with joining Denmark.
Sorry.
Canada is doing this to Jesusland as well.
Hawt
If only they act like a Jesus
Last South Park Season got it right with Magajesus
Die and never to be seen again?
Everyone should approve this maps because it makes Canada look like a cute dragon puffing out a little fire newfoundland

Well now i can’t unsee it
You must be awesome playing staring-at-clouds.
I don’t think Jesus would want to be associated with this dump.
Well, good, he won’t be as upset when he gets deported.
i don’t think jesus ever actually existed
Neither did Frodo Baggins, but he wouldn’t want to be associated with America either.
The general scholarly consensus is that he did in fact exist. The only thing really up for debate is what he did or didn’t do, and who he was or was not the son of.

To say that a thing existed - oh, except all these other things attributed to the thing are just bullshit, so you can ignore them - really does preclude the actual existence of the thing. Nobody cares if Jesus of Nazareth, the prehistoric huckster but otherwise normal human “existed.” So did Rudy of Nazareth, but he was a used chariot salesman, and he didn’t get lionized into mythology.
I mean, there are probably at least dozens of people named “Jesus Christ” today. The name is only a fraction of the character… what he did or didn’t do is pretty damn important in the context of religious mythology. I don’t think anyone really cares if scholars agree that there was a dude named Jesus Christ in the timeframe / region of interest if he was just an average Joe. …or even a way-above-average Joe: his fame boils down to doing magic. Not tricks, but actual magic. So, what do scholars say about a guy named Jesus Christ who can make fish and bread appear out of thin air, perform alchemy on water to turn it into wine, or press the pause button on water displacement?
Unlikely.
What is reasonably likely is that there was a person named Yeshwa ben Yosef, born a few years before 0CE, died somewhere around 30CE, who preached and started a Judaism-based cult and who might’ve been a carpenter. He most likely had a reputation for miracles, which is mentioned in non-Christian sources which have no reason to glorify him. (Do note that modern cult leaders and televangelists also often have such reputations.) He was also probably crucified, although probably not for the reasons given in the Bible.
Things like his conception without sex or him being a fish copying machine have no evidence. It’s not even sure if he claimed to be the son of God or the Messiah; apparently he did probably have an end-times cult and did probably assume that he’d get to run the world after divine rule is instituted globally.
So yeah, he probably was some dude who started a cult (which wasn’t even that unusual at the time), was good enough at preaching to get a major audience, and was probably executed because sooner important people considered him a political threat. His cult survived him and people started embellishing his life just a tiny little bit.
Afaik, scholars say, some dude named Jesus probably lived about 2000 years ago and did do some preaching and possibly was crucified. There is of course no evidence of divine relations or acts of magic. The evidence being him being mentioned briefly in non-christian (roman) writings of the time.
Yeah obviously this extremely important religious leader who was famously executed existed—that’s why we have exactly 0 written record from anyone who ever claimed to have met anyone who ever claimed to have met him. That’s why practically all the documentation of his life and deeds comes from decades after his high profile execution. Because he very definitely existed.
that’s not true
I don’t think Peter Pan or Luke Skywalker would want to be associated with him either
As an American, this is accurate. Include Hawaii in the blue and Alaska in the Red.
Seriously. Canada’s got some similar shit going on, but it’s not nearly as bad, and it seems unlikely to get that way. Plus, I’m already in a part of that new annexation of theirs.
As a Coloradian I hate this
They can just grab Nevada on their way to Colorado to pick you up. It’s purple and full of sinners anyway. But what do you propose to do with Utah?
Trust me when I say you don’t want the interiors of any of these states. Eastern Oregon, Southern Illinois, upstate New York, etc.
give them a short notice to make their decision and get out
Yes, in the PNW there is a shift from blue to red crossing the Cascades. And even rural areas west of them are pretty red.
I think they would sooner call it The Confederate States of America.
Gilead
Blessed be the fruit.
As a Michigander I’m very pleased this seems to include us and also vitally excludes Ohio
As a Pennsylvanian, I am also ecstatic that we get to join Canada and Ohio doesn’t. God please yes put a solid border between us and Ohio.
Ngl my vindictive ass remembers Pennsylvania swinging to Trump 2024 with several voters (mainstream new interviews, so questionable representation) still saying “we’ll wait and see” a week before the election was due.
If it were up to me, you ARE the Ohio-Canada border; buffer state style. But it ain’t.
And Penn’s not even the only swing state to swing red, but the one I least expected to stomach attacks to democracy that Jan 6 and Project 20205 represented.
Super rant-y and spiteful, I just hate orange man and how swing state voting enabled him.I’m no big fan of the idiots in my state that enabled Trump, but Pennsylvania (even accounting for Fetterman, the traitorous fuck) is nowhere near the shithole Ohio is.
After spending time in both … No.
Thanks for understanding the anger of a stranger man. I’ll take your word for it on Ohio. I only heard the memes, no concrete horrors. Give ‘em one for me if the worst is to come.
It’s just a meme because it’s beige.
As an Ohioan, TAKE ME WITH YOU PLEASE D:
*United provinces of Canada
And Territories.
Canada
Christians hate socialists of color (like Jesus) though
The tough part is that Colorado and Nee Mexico would want to be with Canada but are cut off via Nevada and Utah.
We can swap the populations with Alberta
Arizona is fairly liberal, even though we turned red last election. If you add AZ then NM and CO have a contiguous path back!
It’s more of a crescent swath of blue than is drawn here. For example, the blue should extend down and around through Austin, Houston, and probably taper at New Orleans.
