I did my part and voted for Harris, I thought maybe she had a chance. I knew it was very likely that Trump would win. That said, couldn't we all have done more? For example, Trump and Obama have a few interesting things in common. They

Good point - these could most likely be exploited as well. That's another way for the US to get there. Break up Canada. The Quebecois get to be their own mini-nation. Not sure what would happen to the Maritimes or Newfoundland. And it&

Where is "here?" I think you're making a couple of shaky assumptions. You're assuming civil society will stand up to Trump. This seems increasingly unlikely to happen. Also, in the military, there are really serious cons

They sent troops to the southern border during Trumps first term? North is just the other direction. Mobilization takes time but they could do it.

If there is a "war" between the United States and Canada it's going to be extremely short. There would not be a need to conscript anybody for it. The United States would simply roll tanks and troops across the border, making

Correct, that seems to be the intent behind these policies.

Prediction: soon we will see the first vibes based billionaire. They'll have no idea what they did, what their product does, how it works, or any possible ethical implications of having developed it. But they'll be fucking rich.
