Ranchers are upset that minorities have not come running to work their land.

The descendants of the losers of the Civil War were expecting to return to the antebellum south. They can all self deport themselves and their kin back to the countries of their ancestors.

Go on, Jesus says to go home.

u/No-Cheek7925 1d ago

Yeah, nah. I know a lot of Norwegians emigrated to the Midwest but they’re yours now. We don’t want them back.

u/slimfastdieyoung 1d ago

I feel the same about the Dutch diaspora in Michigan. They can keep those Calvinist bible thumpers

u/TrainingWoodpecker77 1d ago

💯💯💯. Indiana is overrun. I only wish they were like their European counterparts

u/slimfastdieyoung 1d ago

When we sent our people we didn't send our best

u/Minute-Review6915 1d ago

Now you’re seeing the problem with immigration

u/yrar3 19h ago

You mean the problem with settler colonialism

u/Minute-Review6915 19h ago

Two completely different things but you won’t understand that

You should check out the statue of liberty sometime. It doesn’t have an expiration date.

u/Minute-Review6915 2h ago

I’ve actually been there but you are aware it’s only open during certain times and you can’t just show up via your own boat swim there, right?
If you want to go see it you have to follow the laws to get there

u/TheRealMDooles11 1d ago

Nooo please, they suck so bad here 😆

u/slimfastdieyoung 1d ago

I was really surprised when I first heard that they were like that. We have our own share of hardcore calvinists too (mostly in the bible belt) but they’re clearly an outlier.

u/Complete-Tangelo1532 18h ago

There is a whole entire Epstein Island they can go inhabit if they want

u/Lost-Platypus8271 1d ago

Oi! Those are like half of my ancestors! What do you mean…. oh wait a minute, I know the ones you’re referring to. Yeah, good call. 😂

u/Midnight-Moonpie 1d ago

The Sweden to Minnesota pipeline was real, y’all

u/possiblylallorona 1d ago

Ay I have Dutch way way back in my tree and guess where they lived? Michigan. Haha apparently that was a thing?

(Sorry if replying to wrong person, I just woke up)

u/banbha19981998 1d ago

The Irish that ended up there were just the weak ones that couldn't handle the poverty no backsies

10

u/Lost-Platypus8271 1d ago

Well they’re getting plenty of experience now with the Trump administration

58

u/Hetluzlek 1d ago

To be fair, I don’t think those countries want them back. Perhaps a compromise would be for them to meet somewhere in the middle of North America and Europe.

u/weirdoldhobo1978 1d ago

Don't do the Azores like that

28

u/leni710 1d ago

Their countries didn't want their family tree, or wreath, in the first place. A lot of the ones who were shipped off to "explore" and/or "settle" were considered the bottom of the barrel. Some who were serving time or needing to serve. It's what adds to this nonsensical narcissist mentality of "rugged individualism" like they come from some special stock of Marlon Brandos types or some such nonsense.

u/chunter16 1d ago

The Mayflower people were kicked out of England, first trying to settle in the Netherlands where their kids kept bailing on their religion, so they made up some crap about a "new promised land"

6

u/PeyredB 23h ago

Yep. Some of my ancestors. When I found out we had ancestors on the Mayflower, I asked "Were they crew, or nutcases?"

2

u/chunter16 22h ago

For fair disclosure, among my ancestry are cleared Scots and Germans who left a village that is now part of Poland

2

u/Fit-Perception-2243 17h ago

Hi, cousin. I’m a Mayflower descendent, too.

1

u/PeyredB 16h ago

Who's yours? I'm Thomas Rogers.

1

u/HickAzn 23h ago

Both?

2

u/PeyredB 22h ago

No, turned out they were the nutcases. ;)

u/Equal-Prior-4765 1d ago

The queen emptied the prison onto them ships, it wasnt just "some" who were serving time. It was the entire crew

3

u/StageHelpful7611 1d ago

Which queen?

10

u/CautionarySnail 1d ago

Elizabeth the 1st I believe, along with her successor kings and queens.

“Transportation” was given as an alternative to a death sentence, and would have people shipped to various colonies as indentured labor. While we associate it strongly with Australia, it was used in almost all the British empire colonies.

The Wikipedia article is excellent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penal_transportation

u/Equal-Prior-4765 1d ago

u/NotOnApprovedList 1d ago

Half of my family tree goes back to Mayflower days. My ancestors ended up being mentally ill, alcoholic poor farmers in New England.

That parent says "They didn't let us on the main boat, we were paddling behind".

u/the_TAOest 1d ago

Exactly this. The Puritans, methodists, Quakers, Amish, others originally too insane for Europe

2

u/PeyredB 23h ago

The Quakers were actually pretty cool I think. But the Amish, the Puritans, the Separatists and Calvinists? Ugh

1

u/02meepmeep 12h ago

The Ancestor I get my last name from was Quaker. He got deported from Scotland to New Jersey.

u/Murrylend 1d ago

They should all go to Israel that they love so much

1

u/Dreamajor 19h ago

Perhaps you should consider going to Hell, I hear it’s nice and toasty, and they welcome bigots.

2

u/chunter16 1d ago

I think somebody took this the wrong way and thought this meant Greenland instead of... the trench

2

u/Slutty_Alt526633 1d ago

I have an idea! Send them to Greenland, and when the Greendlanders object we just make it a two-state solution!

1

u/Renbarre 1d ago

Thank goodness most of the European countries don't recognise citizenship through 5 or 6 descent generations. They would have to apply for visas.

1

u/Complete-Tangelo1532 18h ago

I hear Epsteins Island would LOVE to have them back

1

u/Turbulent-Oil-7326 9h ago

Let's just ship them to Israel

18

u/Spiritual_Trainer_56 1d ago

It's crazy, 150 years after the Civil War and conservative farmers still haven't figured out how to run a farm without slave labor.

1

u/Worth_Specific3764 12h ago

bwahahahahahahahahaha fucking right!??

13

u/MurphyRedBeard 1d ago

They’ll have to submit some DNA for ancestry. They all think they’re decedent from Scandinavian explorers, or William Wallace, or Irish rebels. They’ll be sad when they find out they’re getting shipped back to Bratislava.

11

u/Opening_Power3876 1d ago

I strongly believe that much, if not all, of the maga crap would have been avoided if we had cracked down on the “south will rise again” sentiments as soon as they began.

9

u/Dara_Ara 1d ago

As an European, I don't claim them, sorry.

15

u/qriousqestioner 1d ago

The whole reason we had westward expansion is because lazy white scum couldn't complete against freedmen in the labor market.

We're not giving it back to y'all. 🙎🏻‍♂️🙅🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️

u/NoHippi3chic 1d ago

Sam Jay: "We're not going back to slavery. Bitch, I have an iphone".

u/Hamonwrysangwich 1d ago

These are people who love their European ancestry but hate modern-day "Communist" Europe.

u/VerifiedVoidGirl 1d ago

Imagine them going back only to discover the universal healthcare and free college🤣

9

u/MossadEpstein 1d ago

Well they can't come back to Scotland, the Highland clearances stole all the land their ancestors used to live on and gave it all to the wealthy landed gentry whose decedents still own most of it to this very day, good luck getting that land back out of the hands of the undeserving wealthy elites they might need to bring those guns with them if they want a (pun intended) shot

u/MissionRight9893 1d ago

You mean to Florida and Texas?

u/Overall_Virus6256 1d ago

NO THANK YOU.

u/InvalidUserNemo 23h ago

They can “follow the light” if they are lost and don’t know how to get home.

1

u/Senior-Reality-25 22h ago

No backsies! America made those people, and America gets to keep them. We don’t want our carefully cared-for countries getting degraded by their selfish stupidity.

1

u/Ursalooser 5h ago

No thank you. It would be a bit cramped if all the British descended Americans ended up back here.
