No, you just apply for Minnesota-ship, and are eventually just absorbed, like The Blob

Hey us down here in New Mexico really, really don't wanna be part of Gilead.

Gilead? Are we heading toward the Dark Tower?

u/Electronic_Warning49 16h ago

Weird, in the dark tower it's cascadia and new Gilead.

Well the idea of Cascadia predates both Handmaid's Tale and The Dark Tower, and I think Gilead is from the bible so their either both referencing that or one is referencing the other.

Drip:

Tumbleweed isn't native to America it's an invasive species from Russia and the USDA was created in part as a federal body to try to combat it.
