Have you watched American Primeval yet? In the movie, do you think Brigham Young was a progressive for offering Jim Bridger a lot of money for Fort Bridger? Either take the money or it will be taken by force?

I saw that series, but it was not, nor did the producers pretend that it was, an historically accurate portrayal of actual events. Did you see the discussion of that series in the Terrestrial Forum or on John Dehlin's Mormon Stories Podcast? I suspect that you probably did. Am I right?

For one thing, Fort Bridger was hundreds of miles away from the Mountain Meadow Massacre. Plus, Fort Bridger was bought by Brigham Young before the massacre, not afterwards, as portrayed in the series. So I don't know if the question of whether or not Brigham Young was a progressive for buying it is really relevant. Also, it is highly questionable whether Brigham Young was accurately portrayed in the series.
No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

What if Canada offers $0.01 for the voters of California, Oregon, and Washington to leave the union and join up with them? Is that okay? I think a majority of voters might welcome to stop bailing out the failing red states and keep their own money for their own disasters.

Are you interested in placing a bet on whether the people of Greenland would choose the United States or Denmark if they were to vote on seceding from Denmark? I believe there is a strong likelihood that they will select America.
From what I have read, Greenlanders would choose 'neither of the above' if given the chance. They'd rather just be independent.
"A new opinion poll shows 85% of Greenlanders do not want their island to become a part of the United States ... only 6% of Greenlanders are in favour of becoming part of the US, with 9% undecided."

Is there any way Denmark can make a counteroffer to buy the US?

Sure, but that 6% is 100% of all of the people who agreed with the idea, and 100% is an overwhelming and clear majority.

Checkmate, libruls! That’s MAGA math!
