    We need to be taking this very very seriously and keep tabs on anyone in Canada pushing this rhetoric.

    He is escalating more and more by the day and there is a good chance he does something really dumb.

      Look, we won’t do it because most of us are scared of confrontation at a level of disagreeing opinions in light conversation. Half our men are online gaming right now. And most of what’s happening is being hidden and deleted within the Signal app.

      Spam the dementia angle. Scream it loud and demand a medical assessment. His erratic behavior reads of that to me. Not all dementia looks like Biden, there are different flavors.

            Well “Generic American”, tend your farm before the “Generic Canadians” have to. This is your problem to solve and you do not want outside help, especially from angry Canadians. Ask Germany how that goes.

    I swear, Americans will sooner protest a Disney movie or Oreo Cakesters being discontinued before they end up protesting their country invading ours.

      It’s true. My favorite tech podcast will (correctly) trumpet trans rights or BLM when it comes up in the news but haven’t said shit about Canada. They only bring up tariffs now in the context of their Switch 2 preorders getting delayed or their phones maybe getting more expensive.

      So cancel that membership when it comes up for renewal, I guess.

      Americans will be too busy trying to keep their own country together than to worry about invading Canada. Fact is, the National Guards of the American States are probably more powerful and stronger than the US Army is on American soil. Some Guard units even have advanced fighter jets. The National Guard troops are a substantial component of the strength of the American army. The American army would have to bring all of its own assets back from the rest of the world before they could even contemplate military action on American soil.

      And the National Guard units answer to State legislatures, not Washington.

      Nah they’ll protest. Whether they’ll actually do something (which protesting is not) we’ll have to see.

    The irony is, that America is most certainly going to split at least in two in the next few decades. California will never submit to the 2025 Manifesto. and New York will also join in. The American Civil War never really dd end, and it is time for the next round. This time, there will not be a clear winner and separation is assured. Margaret Atwood read (wrote about) it correctly.

    This conversation opens up all over again the second our election is over. This hurts DeSantis Jr. here, with his Canada First signs and Trump magat style rhetoric, and they know it. The resistance to this entire stupid movement is a scale from shrug and blame Trudeau to some degree of active resistance.

      He’s not the most powerful globally though, that’s the inertia talking. You, United with Europe and in trade with China are.
