If it goes down I'm just gonna scoot up north and fight on your side for Canadian citizenship.
That's a really good idea! I'm about 5-8 hours from the Canadian boarder but I will not fight for a fascist country. I'll either join the other side or join a resistance here.
I'm about 4 hrs from the border but could easily make that shorter in an emergency! Combat veteran as well.
I'm a vet also. Never felt the need for a gun as a civilian, but November changed that for me.
I got a couple last summer because I knew it'd be a shitstorm regardless of who won.

The amount of Americans visiting Australia who assume people here would want to live in America instead given the option was astounding to me.

Trump seems to have the goal of destroying the US from all I can tell. Our economy and power are so dependent on our connections to the rest of the world and he is burning them all down. The US dollar gets replaced as the fiat currency we are wholly fucked and this dumb shit is how that happens.
Somehow, even with conservatives owning all the branches of government, it will be the Dem's fault.
LGBTQ+ and immigrant fear can convince conservatives of about anything.

Who needs dollars when you have $TRUMP meme coins?
Fair. I was just thinking what the monetary system really needed was to be more obscure, cartoonish, energy intensive and unstable.

Inshallah
let's go comrade trump
If America is forced to accept austerity measures over our massive debt when the dollar is no longer fiat, regular people will be the ones who suffer sadly.
And the last gasp of our conservatives as the final pillar of the whitehouse collapses into a flaming wreck due to Trumps ridiculous toddler-like mismanagement of everything will be to blame it all on the Democrats.

Trump is going to speedrun all our ~~vassals~~ allies into joining BRICS, and I’m here for it.
Us citizens pay tariff this doesn't hurt Canadians. They should call bluff and say do 30%.
It potentially reduces exports from Canada to the US, hurting our economy. Nobody wins
Canada imports more from USA than it exports to USA. A trade war that decreases exports would hurt USA more than Canada.
The largest exports from USA to Canada are cars and trucks. (Finished products) The largest exports from Canada to USA are minerals, fuels and pulp. (Raw material)
This puts USA at a disadvantage in a tariff game, because it's a lot easier for Canada to replace American cars with Asian or European cars, than it is for USA to replace the variety of ressources that Canada provides
It's also a lot easier for Canada to find other customers for raw materials than it is to sell American cars on other continents.
Actually tariffs will hurt Canadians deeply. Why? Because it means that Americans will lean towards not buying products made in (or partially made in) Canada. Plus, Canada would certainly reciprocate meaning the price of everything is going to go up in Canada. It's not a good situation and our government needed to be spending the past 10 - 20 years developing stronger trade relations with other countries but instead we amplified our relationship with what is clearly a very unreliable and untrustworthy neighbour.

Dear Trump:
Why people keep listening to what that being says? Just respond to his actions, anthing else is useless...
I somewhat agree with your point but after years of him saying he would do fucked up shit and then him doing a lot of it, it helps to be prepared for his intentions as they manifest into actions in many cases.

There is no actual fentanyl or immigration basis for tariffs on Canada. Just submit to less representation than California, and help absorb large US debt with little in return for it.
There's no basis for tariffs on Mexico either.
Canada is avoiding Trump's tariffs by not becoming a state.
They are not paying the tariffs, american people do. So by joining the US they would start paying all the tariffs that Trump is putting on China's products, European products ....

American anschluss of Canada to expand their lebensraum, because they feel they deserve it.
Musk does not hide how he feels about it, we wouldn't either.
rip you guys are gonna get couped
imperialism is manifesting itself in the imperial core
Canada is one of the few countries that has actually defeated the USA. They even burned the white house.
American here: honestly would not mind if Canada came and did that again at this point. Please help us get the Nazis out of the White House.
No, that was the British during the war of 1812.
British based in occupied Canada, with Canadian born soldiers the majority of soldiers.
Don't act like Canada hasn't been seeing it's own share of right wing extremists making their way into government.
Yeah no need for a coup really. Without a revolution Canada is gonna be part of this new axis on its own.
rip you guys are gonna get couped
Seems to me we got couped. It was just mostly domestically bloodless. So far.
