Republican Rep. Chuck Kopp of Alaska, which shares a border with the Yukon and is separated from the contiguous U.S. by Canada, says the state doesn’t support the president’s trade war and annexation bid against Canada.
He has proposed a joint resolution in the state legislature that would affirm Canada’s sovereignty and recognize the enduring, centuries-old ties between Alaska and Canada.
Alaska is a very different kind of conservative state. They like the ability to do whatever they want as long as it benefits them even if it goes against the national Republican agenda.
they are also far removed from the main GOP in the states, so they are less affected by thier craziness.
Palin…
Don’t use that word, it’s horrible!
GOP leadership can’t be bothered to visit
Also economically it’s beneficial for Alaska to be a unique US state in terms of tourism and resource offerings. If Canada joined the US, Alaska loses a big aspect of their unique identity to BC/Yukon/NT.
No, let me stop you right there.
I live in Canada, you’re preaching to the choir
we can cut them off badly… that’s the only reason they are pretending to be kind
So they aren’t idiots. Far as I can tell with MAGATs, they do stupid things even if it catches themselves on fire.
Well, we got places like Wassila (AKA Mobile Alaska) that have entirely drank the koolaid. One week there and you will be thanking god for fentanyl. Its not as bad but we still got crazies.
We got mostly republicans and office yet we also got Ranked Choice Voting which the GOP opposes.
Alaskans even have a form of UBI through the oil industry. It’s a state with more pragmatic people running it I suppose.
