I’d pay to see someone asking random americans in the streets about this
Pfft. We all know that map isn’t official.
The reason you can’t build that bridge is because Alaska is farther southwest near Hawaii, and there is a big wall around them.
To be fair, ambushing anyone on the street, out of context, is extremely likely to get a dumber answer than normal.
This would make a good study, actually. Ambush people on the street and quiz them. For the control group, quiz them immediately, on the street. For the experimental group, take them to a more relaxed location, allow them to sit, give them a minute or two to get collected, quiz them and measure the difference from the control group. You can do it with easy, medium, hard questions.
Don’t forget to build one to Hawaii too. That’s where the delicious pizzas grown, right?
Florida to Cuba, Cuba to Hawaii, Hawaii to Louisiana
The food wood be amazing
They built a land bridge. They even named it. Canada.
I have to mail my glovebox gun to myself when I drive through Canada because they hate freedom.
In Canada’s defense, that is in significant part, handguns. If you keep a long gun with you, as long as it doesn’t hit their 10,000 J (7375 ft-lbs) muzzle energy limit — and if it’s in your glovebox, I assume that whatever you have isn’t doing that — and doesn’t hit their specific restrictions on upper receivers, you’re probably okay.
A NATO 5.56 mm rifle round looks like it has a muzzle energy of about 1.8 kJ.
That’d let you carry an elephant gun.
If you want a semi-auto rifle…goes looking
Looks like they exist in 500 Auto Max.

I imagine that one of those would be okay. Looks like the ammunition is sold in Canada.
EDIT: If you want something that you can shoot one-handed, maybe a short bullpup rifle with a barrel of at least 470mm (~18.5 in) which is apparently their “handgun”/“not-handgun” divider.
Canada is where all the illegals live
and the fentanyl
And my ax!
and my fentanyl!
Mrgoomoos is alreading bring the fentanyl. A little goes a long way.
and my illegals!
This thread did not disappoint
If you watch Fox News then yes but if you actually look at the figures, it’s fucking nothing
I think they were speaking ironically.
Hey, Canada is on top and Alaska is on the bottom, it’s even in the picture.
But what people don’t get is that the scale of the map means that bridge would have to be half as tall as New Mexico, which is like at least 5 miles, and also there’s no way the bridge would support the weight of the entire United States. C’mon people.
Maybe the scale of the bridge is off, just like the size of Alaska is. I think someone from Texas drew this map to make themselves feel better.
It’s because Alaska has migratory patterns, that’s why it’s sometimes southwest of Texas, other times it’s right next to California.
How are you going to build a bridge that moves that far, dumbass?
A suspended bridge can be really flexible. Or make it out of ropes, like in the Indiana Jones movies.
Alaska doesn’t like being tethered, it will just buck around and turn the whole Pacific into a churning gyre. The wildness would have to be beaten out of it first. Don’t worry though, that’s being worked on.
Gulf of Alaska
Gulf of Hawaii, it’s right there
That would be a very long bridge, probably too long to biuld. Notice the size of lake Ponchartrain by New Orleans, which is 24 miles. This would be a bridge hundreds of miles long. It’s likely not feasible, sadly.
I was really hoping for this level of engineering pedantry and sensibility, thank you.

I’m glad I checked the comments because I was going to point out the same hypothetical issue lol
Not with that attitude! What has become of us? We used to do big things like put monkeys on the Empire State Building.
During the Mexican-American War the US secretly bribed Alaska to sneak up behind Mexico and eat Mexico in one big gulp.
Then the US put Alaska in a box to quarantine it because it started to get sick. This is what you see illustrated on many maps because it was historically a very important moment to US geography.
Eventually Alaska got too nauseous, threw Mexico back up and crawled back on top of Canada.
What a lot of people don’t realize though is what made Alaska so sick wasn’t Mexico, it was that Alaska mistook Texas for part of Mexico and took both Mexico and Texas in one bite, and it was only the extreme toxicity of Texas that made Alaska so queasy.
The plan backfired though, Mexico was fine chilling inside Alaska (Alaskans and Mexicans had even taken to calling it “Mexicalaska”) but it upset the rest of the US and caused riots all over the country for weeks. Alaska however, unfortunately for architects of the Alaska Ambush, was not big enough to dilute the corrosive bigotry of Texas in order for Alaska to keep it down.
Bravo, I love this kind of ‘analogy taken too far’ creative writing =D
Alaskan lobby doesn’t want mexicans there, whether they’re new or not
Yes. VERY. I have encountered three people in the wild who actually believe that Alaska is an island. The best time was when I was traveling with my kid and they said we were from Alaska to a group of people in an elevator. One of the kids in the elevator said “can you drive to Alaska?”. the mom told then her , “they can’t drive to Alaska because it’s an island! and that’s why there at the airport!” To which the DAD replied “ARE YOU FREAKIN SERIOUS? WTF.” 
That was pretty good.
I’ve done that to my ex wife in public a couple of times.
I learned that someone being hot does not compensate for stupid.
Perhaps not for this reason, but yes, we are stupid
A very modest and reasonable proposal
Cuz the material is needed for THE WALL
Because there’s a country between the Mainland and Alaska. Any bridge would need to be negotiated with Mexico.
Alaska is gonna become Canada’s 11th province. So a bridge ain’t happening.
We tried. Canada kept getting in the way.
We wouldn’t have that problem if they would just voluntarily surrender their sovereignty and become the 51st state smh

Edit: hopefully I don’t need the /s but there it is anyway
