Buncha crackheads live there and we don’t want to provide shelter to bridge trolls
I understand that this is just a shitpost, but the scaling here is crazy 😆 Alaska is more than twice the size of Texas
Now that you mention it, the projection is unusual. Is this the map they use in Texas to make it look bigger?
no its smaller, the map shows it is smaller
We tried. Canada kept getting in the way.
The Rockies did too
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
A very modest and reasonable proposal
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.
And why didn’t they just call it the Gulf of Hawaii? That would’ve been a lot less controversial.
They built a land bridge. They even named it. Canada.
Canada is where all the illegals live
and the fentanyl
And my ax!
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.
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.
Don’t forget to build one to Hawaii too. That’s where the delicious pizzas grow, right?
Florida to Cuba, Cuba to Hawaii, Hawaii to Louisiana
The food wood be amazing
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.
Yes.
But unrelated to this. Which is silly; just do a ferry, dumkopf.
The have a ferry system called the Alaska Marine Highway System but for some dumb reason they leave out of Washington state in the northwest.
Just more governmental waste!
Because there’s a country between the Mainland and Alaska. Any bridge would need to be negotiated with Mexico.
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.
Cuz the material is needed for THE WALL
It appears to my eye that the red line goes from around Arena NM to ~Ciudad Cuauhtemoc Mexico.
That’s about 235 miles.
The current longest bridge is Danyang–Kunshan Grand Bridge in China which is 102 miles, but the majority of that is over land.
However, since the map put Alaska in the middle of Mexico…
We TOTALLY could.
That’d be a long bridge.
