I could argue the unfairness of not including RFK Jr...but if there is any justice in the world, Bear-Cub-gate should sink him.

Harris.

Also, only Brits should be eligible for the last option.

Not true.  Any country, or group of countries, could conduct an invasion and impose a UN trusteeship on the US, combined with a program of de-Trumpification.

Canadians should have a say too.  We'd be part of the same Dominion and have to share our dear King.

Yes.

In 2016 we had Clinton 35, Trump 7, other 9.
In 2020 it was Biden 47, Trump 2, other 2.

I voted Harris but I would appreciate it if ROTW revoked our independence.  The fact that Trump is a major party nominee demonstrates that we don't know what we are doing. :wacko:

That story is too ludicrous to believe, but the story of him making it up is just as hard to believe.

2016 I was an "other" vote as I live in NY and it was guaranteed to go Blue and figured voting with my heart was most important. 2020 I went Biden, despite not overly liking him as the candidate, as I wasn't taking any chances. 2024 will be Harris and happily so. Since turning 18 in 2000, I've been registered as: Republican, Independent, Democrat, and now Working Families Party.  :lol:

Out of curiousity, if independence was revoked, which country would the US end up as a mistreated step-child with? Norway? Iceland? The UK? France? Spain?
Because I am unsure if any of those would exactly be a good administrator of you as a colony, and you would throw tantrums and be very, very bad. Not to mention you have so many guns per capita we would shit ourselves even by the idea of going into your room and tell you off for not having put the dishwasher on.

I think it's clear which parts go to who broadly.
Mexico gets California, the UK the 13 colonies, France the Louisianna purchase and so on.
The trouble I can see is in who is burdened with Florida.

My mistake. I don't think Norway wants Austria. A bit too many un-reformed actual Nazis. And I think we left a rather poor impression of Norwegian hospitality on Dietl and his Gebirgsjäger.

So... which of the Dakotas is the least insane? :unsure:

Right. We'll take East Dakota and exploit it to the hilt. North and South Dakota are both full of Norwegians, and I think we have plenty of those already... hey, wait, you actually just made that state up, didn't you?  <_<

Made up?  It has its own Water Development District! (https://eastdakota.org/)

And its own Wiki page. (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/East_Dakota)

So I can honestly say that I did not make it up.
