    As an ABC voter, I’d like to thank Donnie for the help in during this crucial time of the election campaign. 🍁💪

    Canadians would teach the United States the meaning of insurgency.

    Given how impotent the US was in the face of resistance in Iraq and Afghanistan, how would they be able to cope with an insurgency where all the enemy combatants can blend in and walk among them?

      American: “Hello there!”

      Other “American”: “Hi! How are you?”

      American: “Great, and yourself?”

      Other “American”: “Good! Great weather we’re having, eh?”

      American: “What?”

      Other “American”: “What?”

      American: *eyes the other “American” suspiciously*

      Other “American”: “Aw shit, my cover is blown.” *Stabs American*

      And, best of all, walk among them in the continental United States. A vast, sprawling country of crumbling infrastructure just waiting for a saboteur’s gentle nudge, awash in easily-accessible guns, and demonstrably populated by sheep who can be panicked into decades of self-destruction by a couple of buildings getting knocked down. Who haven’t experienced war anywhere except as entertainment on their TV screens in centuries.

      Here’s hoping that even Trump’s idiocy has a limit before it comes to that.

      The Canadians would also find no shortage of Americans willing to help them, as well.

      Oh yes, the local Timmy’s Hoverround Brigade is exactly like the Mujahideen who trained in asymmetrical warfare since they were children.

      Canadians are completely delusional about what we’re actually capable of.

      Yes. Article 5 doesn’t make distinctions between being attacked by members or even require all members to agree, it in fact specifically obligates individual states to act in collective defense so there’s not some veto power or anything like that to stop it.

    “In fact, we don’t want them to make cars for us. We want to make our own cars. We don’t need their lumber. We don’t need their energy. We don’t need anything from Canada. And I say the only way this thing really works is for Canada to become a state.”

      If Canada doesn’t have anything of value, then why does he have such a hard-on for stealing Canada? 🤔

      But then, after reading the Canadian conservative policy declaration document this seems on brand. The CPC can’t go more than a few sentences without contradicting themselves either. It’s a terrifying document to read through, and the fact that they have as much support as they do is equally terrifying.

    US programming for war on Russia and China, amplified by all Canadian media/parties has been very successful. The US’s promised destruction of Canada has very little pushback from Americans. The Canadian political consensus of closer ties to Europe only works if Europe(+Canada) has closer ties with China. Otherwise, Europe will choose to suck up to US’s larger market instead of Canada, and in colonial sycophancy olympics, promising the US to help screw Canada over is path to get tariff exemptions. Europeans have same CIA programming that we do. A completely mental self destructive attitude towards Russia.

    As Canadians, we have the exclusive choice of protecting our sovereignty and prosperity or remaining programmed into US empire’s warmongering enemy manufacturing.

      Sorry bud but Canada shouldn’t swap out one dictator for another, and hopefully intelligence will prevail this election.

        None of our electoral choices have a practicality of Canadian survivability through deprogramming Canadians from their US programmed hatreds. Multipolarism is not choosing submission to a new (unipolar) dictator.

            “values” is the key programming point. A key problem with democracy is that divisive speech and disinformation are free too, and oligarchism and CIA evil funds much more lies than the humanist truth that democracy was supposed to attain. Our elections are hateful identity based on preventing the opposition shit form winning. Proof that our values are empty CIA sycophancy is that “our values” say that the rightful election winner in Venezuela is a narco traficker who will give away the country’s oil industry to US companies.

            Values of pluralism and freedom are awesome. Values supremacism as a basis for US empire warmongering support is not any real humanist value you should have any pride in. You either have values or you are a piece of shit for provoking/supporting a Ukraine proxy war to diminish Russia.

            True values are the ones that are best for our society. We can recommend gay marriage for Russia and human/climate sustainability assistance, and the right motivation to do so is to make world/Russia happier. Values supremacism on the other hand is just an excuse for hate. Your programming for hate simply can’t be deprogrammed by facts and metrics on improvement towards your/our values/humanism. Your programmers will never let you see their side.

            I should also note that there is a wide (divisive) gap between CPC and LPC values, that has gotten wider with social media algorithms. Maybe our only shared values is that we will thank the CIA for praising/blessing whatever election outcome we get. A world order where the only governments we praise are CIA blessed democracies where all parties that are allowed to present a chance are forever in favour of US led military alliances/colonization should be a red flag on what our values actually are.

            There are 2 nazi apartheid ethnostates in the world that the CIA-aligned praises as great democracies. The identity of values supremacism is never threatened by the shift/emptiness and moral bankruptcy of a lack in values. The identity is all that matters/remains.

    The irony is that America is more likely to split up into at least two and probably more countries before any territory a added to the existing boundaries. I give America les than three decades before it splits up.

      I see three successor states at minimum: the New California Republic, New New England, and a theocracy seated in either Utah or Texas. Probably Utah though

        The theocracy will start based in Texas but then Gilead will find out that Mormons are playing to win and the Mormons will find out Evangelicals don’t actually think they’re Christian.

    this is off-topic, but i have to bring it up somewhere because it’s been on my mind… i haven’t seen any discussion about what he intends to do about quebec (i’m sure there is discourse happening in french-speaking parts of the internet). but, like, french is our second language, and quebec is very serious about maintaining their cultural heritage.

    if canada, theoretically, were to become a state does that mean he gets to erase french-canadian culture? or does french become a second language of the US?

    he obviously hasn’t thought about this, because nothing he says or does is backed by any reasoning. but i just wonder wtf he thinks quebec is, and whether he cares about the culture there being kept

    So he DOES need things from us. If he didn’t need us he’d just walk away and not trade with us. But why would he he want us as a state if we didn’t have something he wanted?

    He DOES need us, our workers, and our resources but he doesn’t like that we’re our own sovereign nation. He needs us but he wants us enslaved and controlled.
