Of course Americans don't "largely support" war with Canada.
Just like they don't support insurrection against the government. We saw that when insurrection happened here, they are quite appalled! "That's not who we are!" they said say as they recoiled from the images.
But then something amazing happened. They were fed lines about how actually, it was Antifa; and actually, it was the FBI; and actually, it was Nancy Pelosi; and actually, they were patriots, and this was peaceful protest, and it was all legitimate political action. And the real villains are the people prosecuting us for this! How dare they!
Then all of a sudden people who were not okay with it were fine with what happened. So today, they support and vote for the people who enabled the very thing they said is beyond the pale.
So it will go with Canada.
First it was a joke, and people laughed.
Then it's said a little more seriously and there's a reason - trade deficit.
Then there's some negotiations about trade but it's not good enough, there's a new thing - they are sending drugs.
And it will go like that with increased urgency. Next it will be they are sending rapists and criminals across the border. The "Mexicanization" of Canadians will begin.
It will be framed as a need to defend ourselves, but also we will be told the Canadians want it. They are welcoming us to invade them, and bring them into the American fold.The New York Times will probably run headlines stating as much. So for those who aren't swayed by the stick, they will be swayed by the carrot.
When the invasion happens, it will be predicated on lies. See Iraq / Afghanistan. It will not be supported by most people, but it will happen anyway.
- cmrdporcupine 2y agoThe dialog on the American right already includes open claims about our apparently-communist regime and the outright oppression that supposedly happens here because of what happened in Ottawa in 2022. (We were supposed to let the convoy types overthrow our gov't, I guess) I see comments on here from very smart educated "libertarian" types about this all the time. Canada is anti-freedom, etc. etc. So in some respects the ideological justification has already begun. Both inside and outside of Canada. If the Liberals win next months election, expect it to go into overdrive both in the US but also in Alberta/Saskatchewan. When they take Alberta it will because they're saving it from oppression. Or something.
