While I get that concern, keep in mind most magats haven’t traveled further than maybe a 15 minute drive, and they don’t even know where Canada is on a map. Wherever you are, they’ll never find it. So without the ability to vote, they’d be mostly harmless. Obviously Canada is already a nice place and doesn’t really have anything to gain, but please just consider it. I’m sure Trump would sell all 50 states to Canada in exchange for 2 McDoubles and some fries. Just hold back the second McDouble until he signs the paper.

As someone from the US, I love this idea… But maybe you should go with territory instead. It’s questionable at best if the US can handle having its own government.

Thing is Canada shouldn’t have its politics influenced by the US from absorbing it either. As a Texan, I can say both our politicians and voters suck. But there could be an easy solution around this problem. Canada could just absorb the US as a newly created Southwest Territories. Territories are directly under the federal government and have no government of their own. Canadians would get new land and resources. Americans would get better healthcare and to be ruled by a less shitty government. Everyone would win.

As a Texan, I’d fully support our state becoming part of a newly created Southwest Territories that is governed by Canada.

It definitely got very intertwined with fascism, though. There were a lot of ideas like, “In the future, there will be no books. Books focus too much on the past, and we need to keep looking forward.” The never look back mentality especially led to a lot of bad things, and it ended up directly inspiring fascism. It’s pretty easy to see the close association, especially considering the Futurist Political Party got absorbed into Mussolini’s party basically as soon as he created it.

Actually, that is probably exactly what he was going for. Mussolini was a huge proponent of the Italian Futurist movement, and he had a lot of weird ideas about what was futuristic. Stuff like, “In the future, people will make their clothes out of milk.” Anyway, aviation and representing aviation was a huge part of that, and he frequently used it in his propaganda.
