UPDATE – I found the original website and it’s even better than we thought.

Part 2 - This was started in Feb 2025 when tRump first proposed taking over Greenland.

What began as a joke on social media has snowballed into one of the most talked-about political satire campaigns in Europe this year. More than 200,000 Danish citizens have now signed a viral petition proposing that Denmark buy the U.S. state of California, a tongue-in-cheek response to former U.S. President Donald Trump’s past interest in acquiring Greenland.

Under the fictional proposal, Californians would be welcomed into the Kingdom of Denmark with a package of benefits that reads like a parody of Nordic governance. The petition promises “rule of law, universal health care, and fact-based politics” as immediate perks of Danish administration.

To underscore the absurdity, the organizers also pledge a lifetime supply of Danish pastries for all 39 million residents of the state. The petition’s website jokingly notes that while Denmark cannot solve every problem, “we are very confident about pastries.”

The satirical plan goes further, outlining a full cultural “Denmarkification” of the West Coast. Los Angeles would be rechristened “Løs Ångeles,” while Danish-style cycling infrastructure would spread across cities more famous for traffic jams than bicycles.

Even California’s most iconic institutions are not spared. Disneyland would be rebranded as “Hans Christian Andersenland,” a nod to Denmark’s most famous storyteller, Hans Christian Andersen. The petition cheerfully asks readers to imagine fairy tales replacing cartoon mascots, and even suggests that Viking helmets might become standard park attire.

    No, they need to buy Florida. 2 Republican Senators, net loss of 12 Republican House seats. Lop Florida off the country and we have a better shot of pulling out of this nonsense.

      Buy Florida? Forget it.

      Let’s try again:

      How much are you willing to pay us for sailing three longships full of drones onto the beach at Mar-a-lago and claiming the land as ours?

      (The boat-show is a useless but mandatory expense).

          Euopean prisons are too good for him, and I don’t care about justice at this point.

          He should be placed in an American mental asylum for the rest of his days. A lobotomy and a few daily electroshocks would do good for his dementia and keep his mania in check.

        I’m sure we can work out a decent crowd-source to pay, they get lots of fresh produce and a bunch of theme parks. Hell it has a ton of old people, just thrown in some healthcare, they might even go willingly
