Why doesn't the US build a bridge here to connect Alaska to the mainland? Are they stupid?

They built a land bridge. They even named it. Canada.

Yes. VERY.
I have encountered three people in the wild who actually believe that Alaska is an island.
The best time was when I was traveling with my kid and they said we were from Alaska to a group of people in an elevator. One of the kids in the elevator said "can you drive to Alaska?". the mom told then her , "they can't drive to Alaska because it's an island! and that's why there at the airport!"
To which the DAD replied "ARE YOU FREAKIN SERIOUS? WTF." That was pretty good.

Canada is where all the illegals live

Hey, Canada is on top and Alaska is on the bottom, it's even in the picture.
But what people don't get is that the scale of the map means that bridge would have to be half as tall as New Mexico, which is like at least 5 miles, and also there's no way the bridge would support the weight of the entire United States. C'mon people.

During the Mexican-American War the US secretly bribed Alaska to sneak up behind Mexico and eat Mexico in one big gulp.
Then the US put Alaska in a box to quarantine it because it started to get sick. This is what you see illustrated on many maps because it was historically a very important moment to US geography.
Eventually Alaska got too nauseous, threw Mexico back up and crawled back on top of Canada.
What a lot of people don't realize though is what made Alaska so sick wasn't Mexico, it was that Alaska mistook Texas for part of Mexico and took both Mexico and Texas in one bite, and it was only the extreme toxicity of Texas that made Alaska so queasy.
Ultimately the plan of course backfired, Mexico was fine chilling inside Alaska (Alaskans and Mexicans had even taken to calling it "Mexicalaska") and this upset the rest of the US and caused riots all over the country for weeks... and unfortunately for architects of the Alaska Ambush, Alaska was not big enough to dilute the corrosive bigotry of Texas in order for Alaska to keep it down permanently.

Apparently they are, cause the people of New Mexico voted No on that

Because a bridge that long would be prohibitively expensive, gosh.

That's why the US wants access to the arctic for development ... they want the oil ... and a bridge to Texas

That would be a very long bridge, probably too long to biuld. Notice the size of lake Ponchartrain by New Orleans, which is 24 miles. This would be a bridge hundreds of miles long. It's likely not feasible, sadly.

Pfft. We all know that map isn't official.
The reason you can't build that bridge is because Alaska is farther southwest near Hawaii, and there is a big wall around them.

Don’t forget to build one to Hawaii too. That’s where the delicious pizzas grow, right?

I have to mail my glovebox gun to myself when I drive through Canada because they hate freedom.

You could build this, but it would be a tunnel. Actually now I want to see that for real.

I've done that to my ex wife in public a couple of times.
I learned that someone being hot does not compensate for stupid.

Perhaps not for this reason, but yes, we are stupid
