Not ever. Even when every male under the age of 50 is conscripted into one of Trump’s pointless wars against former allies, Democrats won’t do shit because resistance is illegal and they have an unshakably legalist worldview. Calexit was already a complete joke before their government started executing their own citizens in broad daylight with no repercussion - legal or otherwise.
Americans: stop with the escapist fantasies and start finding actual ways to fight back because your elected representatives aren’t going to do it for you.
Tbf, (1) Republicans were the same as well, prior to Trump, so this was not a R vs. D issue so much as an anti-establishment vs. establishment one; and (2) the USA has literal actual nukes, making anarchism far less attractive in practice than it might naively sound in theory. Also, (3) people are just as uneducated this year compared to roughly one year ago, i.e. vulnerable AF, and (4) Mask owns everything now, so having to return to an era where not only do you lack satellites but this time the other side does have them, plus drones… is not a tiny wrinkle in an otherwise unstoppable plan. It’s more like an unedumacashiated rabble fighting with sticks and stones vs. computers with actual nukes. The uprising in Planet of the Apes was the real fantasy, whereas irl they would have zero chance, given today’s technology.
Also note that wherever you are in the world, this is coming for you too, in some form or another. e.g. Brexit happened long before Trump was elected the second time (the first being more or less an accident?). Even Greenland has elements of people within it who for some reason seem to welcome the idea of becoming part of the USA. This is not a uniquely American phenomena: we only thought that WWII won against fascism, but in the end fascism may win out overall, world-wide.
And until we figure out what the real enemy is, why trade off Trump for e.g. Musk to come save us? The idea that this hole that the USA has dug itself into is somehow “fixable” might be the real escapist fantasy, and all the more so when you consider the child-like populace. Edit: but of course if it were fixable, that would require enormous efforts, and not be just a casual endeavor.
PR is a great example. Why is it shaded green on this map?
While we’re on the subject of literal readings of this map; Argentina is in WHO, and is shaded a color not on the legend. Do you have a problem with this part?
WA and NYC too, plus oregon is working on a cooperation agreement? There’s a couple other states funding WHO cooperation and state research groups as well
California should be shaded green.
Is California a country?
Not… yet.

It’s naive to think everything is binary. Parts of the US are in it and parts are not.
True, it’s naïve to know how to read.
I always wondered why they called it United States, but that must be it
With how things are run these days they may be called the Divided States of America. Unless Trump gains total control, then it turns into the FSA.
fuck shit ass
It’s bigger than many countries and more populous than many countries. And it’s in WHO.
Unnecessarily pedantic to exclude it.
Yet it isn’t a country. lol
Puerto Rico isn’t a country, yet it is green on this map.
Greenland isn’t a country, yet it is shaded a color.
The purpose of a map is to convey geographic information. What you seem to be looking for is a dictionary.
Those are really bad examples for comparison. lmao
Also wow, rude.

Why is Greenland shaded green?
I’d accept Demark being in WHO.
Puerto Rico?
Greenland is a country. It’s a country that’s part of Denmark.
Countries can in fact be part of other countries. It’s allowed.
It’s not a country. Its government is the government of Denmark.
Firstly no it isn’t, they have an independent prime minister, and secondly that isn’t the definition of a country anyway.
It’s an independent self-governing region which Denmark provides for. It’s like 4 seconds to Google this.
Then why isn’t it listed in the official list of participating countries?
WA and NYC too, plus oregon is working on a cooperation agreement? There’s a couple other states funding WHO cooperation and state research groups as well
