When I was a kid in the nineties I visited Denmark and had their pastries. I don’t remember much from the time except that the pastries were so sickly sweet and had overpowering flavor of some nut extract (almond maybe). Never in my life was I so disgusted by pastries as in Denmark. So they can keep those to themselves. I’ll take the rest though
I agree to these terms
For the price of California (one dollar might be an agreeable option), I’m sure the people of the west coast would gladly throw in an Oregon & Washington for free!
Hey hey us Canadians have dibs on Washington. The Western side of it anyway.
God I need to move to a blue state
WE ACCEPT. OH MY FUCKING GOODNESS YES.
Everyone here going on about “take us too” and not one comment on how the Danes are going to logistically supply Danish Pastries to California without impacting their economy. Crips you’d have to float them through the Panama Canal. They’d be stale before they hit port. /s
They never said for free
Or that they’d be made in Denmark. Could just be Danish recipes, made in California.
but California would be Denmark
Oh yeah, good point!
All pastries made in California would be Danish pastries
We have a Dantown already. We just need to expand their production capacity, also theres a company in Colton who produces these little calzone looking pies that are so fucking good and have been 99 cents for fucking decades.
Please do it. I will move there immediately
Is there a petition for Californians who support this?
If you find one, I can guarantee dozens of signatures from the people I can reach out to alone.
I would sign it.
Me too.
With all the right-wing memes I’ve seen in the past, I’d think they would be happy to see it go.
at least until they realize how much California and other “blue” states fund their “red” states.
Republican voters don’t learn lessons from experience. That’s why they’re Republican voters.
Those people would be so angry if they could do math.
They would be invading California to steal their resources and labor… Faster than JD Vance can fuck a couch.
That’s pretty fast
We really need to cut off the red states. They’re a bunch of whiny shits who leech off the blue states and then make our politics toxic.
Please, Prime Minister Fredricksen. My people yearn for freedom. We will welcome you as liberators.
If I lived in CA, I’d vote for this. But, also, California could easily make it as its own country.
I wish it fucking would.
Washington here. Let’s make Cascadia or Pacifica real.
I’m not even on your coast – LITERALLY the other side of the continent in New England – and i am rooting for you SO FUCKING HARD
GLORY TO CASCADIA!
I wish New England would
secedeget bought by Denmark too…I kind of wonder if Cascadia could be peacefully done. I mean, most Republicans despise California, and have no love for Oregon or Washington. I wonder if there would be a peaceful way for them to be like “hey, we’re just going to separate off. We’ll set up really good trade relations at the start, and have fairly open immigration policy between our countries (to let the more left leaning in, and the more… diplomatically, let’s say right-leaning out) for a few years.” Then each fucks off their own way, Colorado laments it’s position in a sea of deep red (sorry y’all), and Cascadia can write a new constitution that doesn’t suck donkey balls and allow for the worst loopholes and lack of enforcement.
Edit: and the official song could be Cascada’s “Evacuate the
Dance FloorRed States.”I always wanted New England to join Canada and be part of the Maritimes so that the time zone would make more sense. And so New Englanders could get healthcare that wasn’t tied to employment
Cascadia?
The land of…
?I’d move there if that was what Cascadia meant
California here. I’m on board.
I’m in Illinois and would like to throw our hat in the ring. We’re closer to you than Hawaii is and would make a nice, friendly stop over.
We’re closer to you than Hawaii
checks facts… Oh, wow! 😱🤓🤙🏽
Sounds good to me!
Meanwhile Taiwan and the South China Sea goes bye bye, and Russia takes the Baltics.
A new world order. Woo.
A new world order. Woo
This, but not sarcastically.
The current world order sucks big floppy donkey dick.
Not saying that I would want the specific one YOU’RE imagining, but this one has been rotten since its inception. As was the previous one ever since Thatcher, Reagan, and Bananarama established it.
The problem is, so would the fascists, because they think they would win the ensuing civil war, which is a pretty solid bet as long as they are in charge of the military, which they are, and they will stay in charge until they force the civil war that they believe they will win. We are watching it happen in real time. They aren’t even waiting for those “catalyzing events” that they are priming for, because they’re behind schedule, so they are going to just go ahead anyway. Look, nobody is doing shit about it anyway, and if they did- well yhere you go, martial law and suspended elections straight away.
The military will do as they are told by the chain of command. Who’s in command is dictated by a deeply flawed system that only ever pretended to be democratic. These were always the inevitable distal results. Call me doomey. Watch the world and see the facts and call me doomey.
We are not dealing with geniuses here. It’s pretty obvious what they planned. It’s like watching the evil guys in a dumb marvel movie. It’s really not that complicated.
Prophecy over.
I would vote yes knowing full well it would never happen.
Iirc California as a state has a larger GDP than most nations.
It’s 4th or 5th which is insane.
5th previously, but recently we went up to fourth!
I wonder if it would stay like that on its own in a nationally divided disunited states of America.
Nope, we would not. But we’re okay going down in the ranks so long as we separate ourselves from the batshit crazy people running the US.
The tariffs would end
Edit: and also the huge tax drain
Yes and also have you seen the real estate prices?
The problem California would have as its own country would be defending the massive border it has with the failed state next door.
If it can solve its water source problem.
I’m sure someone will come in and tell me why this is a dumb idea, which is why I’m asking…
But why wouldn’t nuclear power plants and desalination plants render water issues a thing of the past?
Is it no other reason than the hurdles of nuclear boogeymen?
The cost of energy inputs for desalinization and mitigating the environmental impacts of saline outflows make it impractical for many users of water (many irrigation, agriculture, and industrial users.) The Sun still operates the best desalinization plant on a global scale.
Well, there’s been breakthroughs that make desalination much more energy efficient https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-025-09769-3
California’s GDP 9.5x Denmark’s

Can NY come? We will bring bagels!
We ❤️ NY!
Ok so instead of breaking the US up into the United states of Canada and Jesusland, I am totally cool with something like The Green States of America Land.
We could be a good neighbor to Canada and slowly transition Jesusland off of all the welfare money.
slowly transition Jesusland off of all the welfare money
Jesusland is exceedingly ungrateful for the generosity of California. (and New York.)
How?
Very carefully.
Does that mean that English would become one of the languages of the Danish Realm?
That’s really my only hope. Danish is difficult and I’m very sub par on languages.
Most Danes are very fluent in English, so no problem there!
Well I’d be moving cross country to live in California.
Mind stopping through Tennessee and giving a brother a lift? 🇩🇰
Same
