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.
Take the whole west coast. OR and WA are sick of this BS too. Hell, take HI as well!

That’s not even a parody, just daily life in the nordics contrasted with the US.
I should moving to Denmark because I’m part of Denmark so fuck America!!!
Can they buy Arkansas instead? We need a state government that respects the bodily autonomy of women, and I’d appreciate operating under Danish national law rather than a federal government run by Trump.
I’m not sure you we should be subjecting Denmark to the people of Arkansas
I would be inclined to listen to their trade offers of California. I would also offer Minnesota to Canada for a future draft pick…
We’d like Hawaii for a First Round Pick in 2026 and a Second Round Pick in 2027
As a spokesperson for CA citizens, we’ll take it! Please and thank you.
Only if they take Washington and Oregon too.
As a WA state resident, we require inclusion in the deal. In fact, you buy 1 California and receive a complimentary WA state for free! Act now, and receive a special-one-time Oregon while supplies last!
If it were up to me Canada would buy us. I heard their getting China EVs soon.
An overland route between Mexico and Canada that doesn’t go through the US, that could be interesting.
Would you be fine if we just made you EU members instead of a state? That might make things less complicated. And would piss Trump off even more.
The Californian Republic would definitely have the most interesting flag in the EU. Too many tricolors, not enough bears.
As a Washingtonian, yes please, and thank you for including us and Oregon. It is greatly appreciated!
Fuck that if they just want the bay area I’m in.
Where do I sign?!
Colorado has introduced a buy one get one free deal with California!
Can other states join? Asking for friends.
I second that.
I’ll happily start learning Dutch
Unless I’m being wooshed, I think it might be best to start learning the actual languages spoken in Denmark unless you expect the Netherlands to outbid them lol
I’m a dumbass
I’m not sure about the countries and what they do. Is Norway running Denmark? Will this finally get trump the Holland Peace Prize? /s
I think it’s psychologically important for Denmark to own California
Why is it even part of the US? Just because some ships have been landed there? Well, danish has landed there too.
They should just sail a ship into Los Angeles and plant their flag.
It’s psychologically important for me to, the change would be of immense psychological benefit to me.
Count me in for being absorbed by Denmark!
I, for one, welcome our new Danish overlords!

You gotta keep the Bear.
Maybe have the bear and the swan both!
That was LAST YEAR!
I was about to say, “past interest”!? How naïve the article writer was a year ago…
Yup. Just saw articles from Feb 2025.
Good thing is they’re up to 285k now!
I as an Asian support this deal. Please go ahead with it.
All sales of California include a complementary Washington State, and yes, it’s mandatory.
Oregon and Hawaii too
Oh damn, don’t tease me with a good time. I’m not a rich man, but I’d make a donation to help pay for the purchase.
I will gladly move to California ahead of the purchase.
Quite honestly Trump could tout this as a win. Huge buyout and they get rid of a bunch of uppity liberals.
