Washington here. Let's make Cascadia or Pacifica real.

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!

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 ~~secede~~ get bought by Denmark too...

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

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 Floor~~ Red States."

I'd move there if that was what Cascadia meant

We’ll set up the GoFundMe for Denmark to buy California, but only on condition that any leftover go toward this coast. We’ll be a colony or territory off Denmark!
