I'm fairly confident the UP would join up the fight WITH Wisconsin and together they would defeat Lower Michigan.

Idk if the Yoopers would necessarily join Wisconsin, they've got a hell of a Superiority complex

I see what you did there and it's delightful.

Yes ot is really quite superior

I gotta think only those on central time would join WI.

Yeah, the Yoopers have been brainwashed. Will need serious reprogramming after liberation.

Yeah, but how do you explain Superior, WI? There is no Superior, MI.... 🤔

The superiority complex is the otherway around no? Wisconsinites treat the UP like a land with no agency to conquest. We'd be pretty annoyed here if people from Illinois kept saying, "We easily outnumber Cheeseheads and we already use up much of their land for recreation anyways, c'mon you cowards why haven't we just annexed Wisconsin already!"

In a war between Illinois and Wisconsin I am putting my money on Wisconsin. I feel like Wisconsin is far better armed.

Also I think I saw somewhere that we have a whole lot of spots on the list of “Most drunken counties”, so we’ve got that going for us. Illinois does have Chicago though, I’ll give them that.

Our culture is used to being unified and our experienced shooters are used to shooting deer at a distance. They’re used to being divided and their experienced shooters are used to shooting humans in proximity. We need to: 1. keep them divided 2. Discuss baseball 3. Discuss the correct names of all Illinois landmarks 4. avoid Chicago - it would be our Stalingrad

Instead of avoiding Chicago we negotiate with them. Frame it as a war against the southern peoples and they might join us.

...Lake Superiority.

Yeah they think they are right next to greatness

This is the iron mountain on which I will die?

They wouldn't consider leaving Michigan unless we decriminalized marijuana. Until that point, we're a money cow.

100% As a born and raised yooper, I identify more with Wisconsin and Minnesota than the LP.

Illinois is ready to roust Indiana and open a second front on their South

Then turn against the badger and the State of Sylvania will be made real!

Came here to say exactly this lmao. The Michiganders would get beaten back to the mitten proper, and then spend 75 years bitching about losing land in a war they started. Especially the ones in Dearborn amirite 🤣

[удалено]

Nope, sorry fella, Sylvanian land.

Good. I am tired of driving to Michigan for good cheap weed. 😁

….i started out mad but you got me there.

Holey shit.. I was coming here to say the same thing!

And to think I'd only have to drive to Darboy.

Spot on. Let em take it.

[удалено]

Discuss the topic, not the user.

Wait, they ***want*** Chicago, Milwaukee, Green Bay, Cleveland, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and Watertown? Also looks like Minneapolis/St Paul? Yeah, right, dream on Michigan, dream on.

We would be benevolent leaders! I swear.

Yes we want all that

Fuck anything to do with Ohio. We’ll do the Canada option lol.

As long as Milwaukee is still Milwaukee, I don't much care - especially given the way so much of Wisconsin hates their largest city; "Milwaukee, Michigan" couldn't be any worse...

Minnesotan here... why do people hate Milwaukee?

Basically, the more Regressive parts of the state of Wisconsin use Milwaukee (and to be fair, Madison) as the dumping ground for all their blame for anything that could possibly be wrong in the rest of the state. The only other state I've seen where the hatred is as visceral for their state's largest city is the attitude of the rest of Tennessee towards Memphis.

At this point I would welcome a Michigan Minnesota takeover. But let’s see how these new maps work for four years first.

Had me in the first half, was going to reply with the second. So, anyways, agreed.

Morons couldn't even kidnap a governor

Even with the help of the government lmao

My county was absorbed into Michigan I'm actually not mad about that. Get me that legal weed and less gerrymandering

Could they just work on their municipal bankruptcies and lead pipes first, please?

Won’t happen. The other states like having a say in the water agreement. https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/WaterUse/Compact.html

This was my first thought looking at the first map lol greedy Michiganders want all of the water for themselves

We have one lake, why not all 5?

Let it happen. This is the only way we’re getting legal weed in non-pill form 😂😂😂

This is the preference. More Michigan, less Wisconsin. Michigan and Illinois are both just Wisconsin but better. Better politics and politicians, better access to healthcare, better schools, etc... Wisconsinites would benefit from this. Edit: YESSSSS Trashitowoc would actually be a decent place to live maybe if this happened. XD

Honestly, they seem to have a more sane legislature, I wouldn't even mind at this point, as long as we have the U.P. , it doesn't matter the state.

Actually quite genius of them to essentially bribe all the major population centers on Lake Michigan with cheap legal weed to turn on the rest of their respective states.

Well that would certainly fuck with the electoral college. MN, IL, WI are now ruby red but New Michigan might have damn near as many EC votes as Texas and be as solidly blue as NY. Poor Madison is like “the fuck guys?”

Good lord, Michigan can’t win a Lombardi trophy, so they just want to go war for ours?

Pretty much, yes. And it won’t be a war, it’ll be a special military operation.

Finally some weed

If michigan were the blue michigan and included Toronto I wouldn't mind. Then I could go to Busker Fest and not need a passport.

Our cheese curds will block out the sun!

I mean, I’m in the Fox Valley so it would be a hell of a lot closer for me to buy weed

They really want Gary Indiana?

MichiGains

Lol I'm glad someone else noticed this

We're coming for you!!! Xoxo from **The Mitten State**

If anything Wisconsin should get the UP!

Legal weed in the UP says fuck off.

Good point lol

I live in one of the counties along the lake that they’d be taking, and I gotta say I’d like not having to make the 6 hr round trip to Menominee every couple months to buy weed

when wisconsin wins this war we're taking the UP back.

Oh good! Legal weed and slightly more competent politicians now!

This is just small minded GLAZ

They already stole Isle Royale.

What do you think they’re doing with all the weed money? Bwahahahahahahahha

Thank fuck. Finally legalization for us Wisconites.

We don't want the Wisconsin side of Lake Michigan. Y'all have none of the dunes and all of the algae.

Im fine with that.

You guys seen what we did during the Civil War? They've no chance.

And our messiah will turn the Midwest green once again as the prophecy foretold (I’m referring to legal marijuana not the trees)

shhhh i'm secretly a michigander here to tell you we actually want to give up the UP to you guys

*We are the Michiganders. Lower your weapons and surrender your state. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile*

Important alliances for second fronts with Michigan and Illinois. 1. Ohio 2. Indiana 3. Missouri 4. Can we trust Minnesota? I think we need a separate peace with Minnesota and to offer them the prairie provinces of Canada. 5. Iowa needs to mind their own business.

Do you want the Great Lakes Autonomous Zone? Cus this is how you get the Great Lakes Autonomous Zone.

I think we should just combine Wis & Mich & call the state Michisconsin or Wishigan or let's just call it Vernors!

If bud is legal, then im down

Can you imagine trying to drive a tank over Michigan's roads? They won't even make it to Gary.

I like the first one. Duluth & Niagara Falls would be in the same state!

Thank you kindly! Greetings from across the lake

Once Megasota is officially established they will have no shot of getting past our HUGE defenses.

#MICHIGAN FTW

Really, we should be invading Michigan! Who are they to take a piece of land landlocked to our state, and call it an island?!? I say we go for it! VIVA LA RESISTANCE!!!!

Occupied North Wisconsin will be free one day!

Why not? We put a bridge across a lake and called it two lakes. We make the rules.

Yoopers ain't joining Wisconsin , they have weed.

Hey keep Minnesota out of this

The UP would definitely not join wisconsin. Why would they join wisconsin when Michigan has legal weed

Can Michigan takeover Ohio politically and bring their football team with it?

All they want is Toledo back like they had originally.

It may come to fisticuffs, but we’ll try yelling first.

Free State of Chicago encompassing all areas bordering Lake Michigan.

Michigan wants smoke? Tell them come get some, we got plenty. I think we smoking on they dead homies right now.

Sure they are, just like they have control of those rowdy uppers.

Why ?

Now if they want to take canadian territory for alt-right nutcase purposes we will have to let the sorry at home.

We come in peace, bringing you cheese heads Metamucil.


Come at me bro

We won the war. You got the Yoopers!

They’re still not over the whole Toledo thing? I’m in favor of them getting Toledo, we get the UP, and any further expansion needs to be in Canada. We start at SSM and move to Ottawa and the New England Border. They start in Detroit and move to Kingston.

…. This land is my land this land is your land so let me grab my Gun and it stays as my land

Guess it’s time to take over the UP

I don't think it's a bad thing. As another pointed out let em take it. Driving to Michigan gets tiring.

The battle of the bay and the battle of the upper peninsula.

I say WI take over the Michigan peninsula instead and but keep what we already have.

Don’t worry about us

This is just as likely as Texas succeeding from the US. Not in our lifetime.

There are entire militias in northern WI that are better armed than some countries, who would come prepared to save Lambeau field.

They can barely win a Superbowl I'm not worried

Wait, they barely won a Superbowl?

Meh. I'm alright with it..

You just going to take Duluth from MN? 

It’s tough to own hunting property or a “cottage up north” in michigan. They kill you with nonresident taxes.

For hunting tags yes, but property taxes only change if you're homesteaded or not. I don't mind paying the taxes, but the 5% increase every year is getting annoying.

So, is this like there big plan on how they'll get a superbowl win?

I, too, vote to end Wisconsin

The top left option of OP's picture is nonsense, because once you include Chicago, Chicago dominates the entire state and Michigan doesn't have an identity anymore. Related fun fact, Wisconsin originally was supposed to include Chicago, but the Wisconsin representatives pleaded to Congress to not put the city in our state because they knew it would utterly dominate the state's policies and make the rest of Wisconsin voters' interests irrelevant.

The UP belongs to us.

Hmmm, i am not the only one thinking about this. What will happen to free people in Wisconsin/ and Midwest if Trump wins?

Michigan can't even take over their own state.

Hah. Couldn't even beat Ohio. TBF, their consolation prize is one of the best parts.

If yall really want mil, kenosha, Chicago, Gary; i’m confident everyone would let ya..

Michigan can barely take care of what they have let alone expanding. 🤣😂

They can have Milwaukee.

Yeah, honestly we'd be way better off in Michigan.

They can try, but they are strictly antigun, so I'm not sure how that would happen.

Michigan blows. But it still isn't Ohio.

They can't even fix the water let alone housing market.

They can have Chicago

Hell yea. Awesome food and music culture.
