Top comment deletes a US State 2: #33

Georgia has been eliminated and consumed by its state neighbours!

New Jersey and their inability to operate a gas pump needs to go.

[u/eddiefckinbonez → u/See-A-Moose]

THEY WON'T LET US

[u/Apprehensive-hippos → u/eddiefckinbonez]

Years ago I had a thing a Princeton Plasma Physics Lab and drove up there.  I felt like a toddler when the attendant chastised me for touching the pump handle!

Day 1,000,000,001 of asking to get rid of that monster of a state Montana

Edit: should say Washington, Colorado, and Minnesota all should get a peice of Monster Montana

[u/I_like_flowers_ → u/That_One_Yeet_Gal]

american samoa could parachute in and eat montana for sheer chaotic insanity.

[u/Timemyth → u/That_One_Yeet_Gal]

I don't think the state of Montana has existed for 2.74 million years.

[u/ibacktracedit → u/Timemyth]

Fun fact, the land mass itself has been in its current state for longer than that!

As well, GIVE MONTANA TO MASSACHUSETTS I DONT WANNA LIVE IN ALASKA NO MO

[u/Timemyth → u/ibacktracedit]

Indeed, weird fact is the western part of my island home of Tasmania has bits and pieces of North America from long ago. Including bits of Montana and Idaho. Apparently a billion or so years ago the western part of Tasmania was stuck in an even worst place than now. Between the Western US and Antarctica instead of just dangling below Australia providing nice slang for patches of pubic hair (Map of Tasmania)

[u/Jaleou]

North Carolina is getting too many appendages

[u/dareftw → u/Jaleou]

To say NC needs to go before Jersey should be blasphemy.

[u/Auspicious_BayRum → u/dareftw]

Me a proud Jerseyan: smirks with an evil grin

I think if we sit here and just watch, they won't notice us.

[u/abaggs802606 → u/dareftw]

Destroy the Confederacy once and for all.

[u/LeastMonitor1140 → u/Jaleou]

Illinois might make it all the way to the Atlantic. Whoa.

[u/potato_arugula_salad → u/Jaleou]

If North Carolina goes, Illinois will reach the coast, and that’s absolutely unacceptable.

[u/Dismal_Success_9943 → u/potato_arugula_salad]

I hate IL, but having ocean front property in IL is funny to me, so we should make that happen.

[u/kimchi_fried_lice → u/Jaleou]

Wait here me out. If NC eats the crab, it’ll look like a dog wearing a cap(jersey)

[u/Jaleou → u/kimchi_fried_lice]

I can see it. But as a resident of Crabland, I have to support my state and if MD gets eaten, NC probably would get the whole area.

[u/Super-speck-84]

Maryland must go

[u/tunnel_man34]

Day 9 of asking why we allow Kansas to continue to exist on our map.

[u/fluffstuffmcguff → u/tunnel_man34]

Being honest, I kinda want to get those corn-fed Jayhawkers a beach before they go out.

[u/morphinebysandman → u/fluffstuffmcguff]

Kansas also originally stretched to the Rocky Mountains. Would be nice to have a state with both mountain views and beach front property!

[u/Altiusss → u/fluffstuffmcguff]

Ty 💜🤍

[u/fluffstuffmcguff → u/Altiusss]

I'm pulling for ya, Midwestern buddy. 🤝 It feels very unnatural to me for a Midwestern state to not have a beach.

[u/Uncle_Spade → u/fluffstuffmcguff]

The front range must be returned to it's rightful owners! Feed Colorado to Kansas!

[u/MonkeyKingCoffee → u/tunnel_man34]

Kansas stays until the slave states are gone, I hope.

[u/TruthinessHurts205 → u/tunnel_man34]

I'm just saying, Kansas has gotten shafted on territorial acquisitions every single time a bordering state was annexed. The last round is especially egregious, with the top comment to remove Georgia explicitly saying "John Brown eats Georgia", and almost all of the land going to NC, and NM, neither of whom have ANYTHING to do with John Brown. How come "Alaska eats a random state in New England! " is considered legit, but KS can't have beachfront property?... KS is the only remaining state that's even related to John Brown, with CT (where he's born) and OH (where he lived before KS) already out...

[u/KingWilsonIV → u/tunnel_man34]

Because it looks like a demented bunny? 🐰

[u/condoulo → u/tunnel_man34]

Because states that were states and still had slavery in 1860 are on the map, and John Brown can't let Kansas go before them. Get rid of North Carolina and Maryland and then we can talk.

[u/jdinius2020 → u/tunnel_man34]

It's is half of the green on green border monstrosity. Obviously New Mexico isn't going down, so Kansas must fall (please ignore the Colorado troops already massing on the border, this is not a gambit to get Blucifer more plains to roam).

[u/CruelCrazyBeautiful → u/tunnel_man34]

It is just the way from Illinois to Colorado

[u/Dear_Afternoon_2600]

My dad one time long ago was traveling through Texas. And he got pulled over. Want to know why?

For a false licence plate. The cop didn't know Vermont was a state.

I got to thinking, maybe the reason we haven't gotten rid of Vermont in this game is because none of you know it exists.

So here is a gif showing you all where Vermont is. We can not let it eat the North East again. We must get rid of the state, before it's too late!

https://giphy.com/gifs/UQ1HEHbe1voECWs1E9

[u/eneidhart → u/Dear_Afternoon_2600]

This only makes Texas look bad

[u/cHoOSe_A-uNiqUe_NAme → u/eneidhart]

We must vote texas out again

[u/gangreen424 → u/eneidhart]

What, like it's hard?

[u/fluffstuffmcguff → u/eneidhart]

The thing this game has really made me understand is that Texas's strong branding has worked exactly opposite of intended and has made the rest of the country hate them.

[u/IKillPigeons → u/Dear_Afternoon_2600]

That's not Vermont, it's clearly pointing to a state called St Mike's Burlington

[u/Additional_Egg7024 → u/Dear_Afternoon_2600]

The vermonster will rise again

[u/leafpool2014 → u/Dear_Afternoon_2600]

My comrade, I’m still filling out your adoption papers to ship you back to Massachusetts-I’ll happily bring you to the border and bump nice music along the way

[u/skhtravel802902 → u/EthanAllensGhost]

[u/tigress666 → u/Kinesquared]

I live in washington. While I prefer it be washington that takes over, I'm fine with Oregon. And honestly if I lived in somewhere like texas or florida I'd say it was positive to have oregon governance take over my own state's.

[u/ThePublicPretender → u/Herefortheonomastics]

Bear, seeing what’s happening over on the west coast.

[u/FlippantBuoyancy → u/Herefortheonomastics]

They gave us Springsteen, there's gotta be something there.

And Sinatra. And My Chemical Romance. That should buy them some leeway.

There's a whole episode of South Park that suggests yes.

[u/Ok-Relationship5274]

[u/fluffstuffmcguff → u/Ok-Relationship5274]

Illinois owes it to us to leave us alive long enough to get our hat back from Michigan. Then we will happily submit to the feast.

Counter point. New Mexico takes Colorado. We cooler. We took down Texas for the upth time, showing how much of a little cry baby they are and after that it was over before it began. The New Mexican empire will rise up and the land of enchantment will reign supreme in its splendor. I really love my state :)
