        I mean, with a skilled cartographer, we can surely find a way to gerrymander some senate seats 😉. Just pack all the rural voters into one state then get like 5 other states with only urban voters. +2 Rep +10 Dem Senate seats. 😈

            I know I’m being pedantic here, but wouldn’t that be California Statism, or Californian State Pride?

            Edit: Californian State Pride is totally what the LGBTQ+ community should refer to the parades in San Francisco as.

      As a southern-ish Texan, I love this idea. Granted, the border-city cartels will probably murder the shit out of me, but I could briefly celebrate Mexican heritage without feeling like a poseur.

      I sincerely doubt that Mexico wants them. Cut them loose and let them sink on their own.

      Oh, and send DNC themed evacuation busses so that innocents can escape.

      Blue states and red states split as per last election map with exceptions that:

      Virgina, Illinois, Minnesota can go red… Arizona will go blue.

      We take most of the burden for the Mexican border, they should be happy about that, right?
