Danes hit back at Trump with ‘buy California bid’ as they vow ‘to take over Disneyland and bring hygge to Hollywood’
A DANISH campaign has been launched to buy California and take over Disneyland after President Donald Trump began pressuring Denmark to sell Greenland to the US. Under the newly proposed “Den…
Friendly reminder that there are quite a few red states that literally would not survive without the tax revenue from California propping them up.
California accepts denmark's bid. Please.
Honestly Washington State is the one I'd buy, but given the weird conservative obsession with beating up on California you can probably get a better deal.
Maybe France would be interested to buy back Louisiana as well.
This is the "Louisiana" they sold:
The Louisiana refund
aren't those some of the reddest parts?
The pitch is a bitter response to President Trump's plan to purchase Greenland, which Denmark currently owns.
Jesus titty fucking christ how obliviously ignorant do you have to be to not realize the satirical nature-...
Oh, nvm when will the boomers fucking die already
I wanna carve out Philly and submit myself to whichever EU nation is willing to take us. We voted against the fascist by double digit margin, and in the last mayoral democratic primary, a pluality of us voted for the progressive candidates (but the votes split on two of the progressive democrats so they both lost, thanks FPTP).
I looked up what hygge means and I am all for it!
What’s hygge
Edit: that warm cozy feeling
I like how this underscores what a joke they think Trump is.
@return2ozma@lemmy.world Countries do not fall into decline in one day, they fracture internally first.
"Buy California" rather than "Buy America" is precisely an example. Another sign would be ignoring tariffs and expressing its own foreign policy on trade.
I hope they change the name to Hyggewood
California should offer itself to sell to Canada already
Not interested, thanks. Or if you do come, can we ship the silicon valley tech bros into the sun first?
they offered to buy Washington DC but it seems Russia beat them to it.
slow claps
Well done sir, well done.
With a pee room and some shady video
EU citizenship with no hassle?
Hell yes!
Yes, sign me up. I'm ready. Right now. Seriously. Do they want money?
This would be the biggest mass migration to California since the last one.
Can they buy oregon and Washington too?
As a Cali expat in Washington I approve of this.
I'm sure we could work out a buy 2 get 1 free deal
Don't forget Colorado, we have lots of drugs!
As a Coloradoan, I approve of being sold to Denmark.
I support this sale.
I volunteer Minnesota as well.
Wisconsinite here. I'm hoping the great lakes area is occupied by Canada after we lose WW3.
And North Carolina. Trump can keep South.
Left and right sides of PA, too, please and thank you
Yes! California native here. We accept.
$1 is a pretty good deal.
They should have charged, honestly.
Don't threaten me with a good time
The sheer absurdity of this "news" piece perfectly encapsulates the late-stage capitalism circus we’re trapped in. A real estate fire sale of cultural landmarks? Only in a world where oligarchs treat nations like Monopoly properties and influencers mistake clickbait for journalism. Hollywood’s already a hollowed-out shell of corporate algorithms—selling it to Denmark would at least spare us another superhero reboot.
Propaganda outlets peddling geopolitical fanfiction while actual democracies crumble? Classic misdirection. Meanwhile, the same clowns who’d auction Yellowstone to Saudi princes for a tax break are now cosplaying as statesmen. It’s not satire anymore—it’s a diagnostic manual for civilizational collapse.
Social media’s algorithmic abyss keeps amplifying this narcissistic delirium until reality itself becomes a glitchy deepfake. Unplug the servers before someone Tweets Greenland into the ocean.
You OK?
not sure if you noticed, but NONE OF US ARE OKAY hon.
Hygge me baby
gettin' Hygge with it!
Darn, I was kind of hoping for a viking raid of Mar-a-Lago followed by some pillaging up and down the gulf coast. Get some pirates back in the Caribbean and rename the Gulf to something even more obnoxious.
Well, the vikings reached the east coast of what is now Canada in around the year 1,000, but they were Norwegians, not Danes. They never got any further than New Brunswick, but who knows, if they visited Florida perhaps they would have stayed...
They never got any further than New Brunswick
New Brunswick can do that to ya. You have to be ready for it.
Gulf of calypso (from pirates of the Caribbean)
They could easily move at least a thousand Danes to Florida just by flying in commercial around the country, use private planes to bring in arms, and have the forces needed to seize the governors office and Mar a Lago faster than any resistance could be mounted.
Exfil to local air field, marinas and highways simultaneously with waiting dummy vehicles, some rigged to combust, others just uninvolved duplicates. Meanwhile actually just move them a concrete room under a mall with lots of traffic.
Or, whatever, just spitballing ideas.
"I, for one, welcome our new Viking overlords."
edit: "
still ain't gonna win a super bowl.
Why do you hurt me like this?
Can I offer you some hygge in these trying times?
Lets go Danes!
I would kill for some hygge right now
That's not very hygge of you.
Please! Please do it!
This just in population of California grows by approx. 277 million people.
Please let this happen.
He’ll probably jump at the opportunity.
Can someone please annex Maryland while they're at?
