    Jesus fucking Christ. I swear that there are bots to repost the exact same thing you post.

    This is NOT the time to harp on that particular thing.

    Those people are going to be some of the easiest potential allies to make, and this is an all hands on deck situation. We NEED them.

    Posting this shit benefits the people opposing the idea that the comment is supposedly trying to support.










  • This time may be different because the police may have a lot greater reason to join the people than they did in the past. The police’s retirements were also wiped out, and the police’s family members are a lot more likely to have been affected by those tariffs. I think it’s too pessimistic to say what you’re saying, because the number of people affected now is significantly greater.

    An uprising seems likely, and an attempt at brutal suppression also seems likely, but the United States regime has also made enemies of almost every other country on the planet, and the groundswell of people is very large. The number of people in the protests today was massive:

    If you see the sheer numbers, it’s enough to give hope.







  • They are free to leave the US and stop empowering our enemy with their taxes.

    Oh you think so, hmm?

    You think that a lot of us haven’t been looking at every country that might be worthwhile, including spending years learning additional languages, researching our ancestry several generations deep to find countries where we might be able to get ancestry, applying for literally dozens to hundreds of jobs on literally all other continents, and even taking IELFS training and tests and looking at industry changes for jobs just to be able to get out?

    It’s not as easy as you think. Even Canada and Mexico have strict requirements that a lot of the people in the U.S. can’t meet.

    Literally the closest comparison is the people who wanted to flee Nazi Germany.

    Get some perspective. The people who you are complaining about are on the same side as you. We don’t want anything to happen to Canada, and if something does happen between the U.S. and Canada, we will be each other’s best hope.



  • The people in the blue states are afraid for their lives.

    This isn’t a situation where the people in the blue states need to be aware of the danger Trump poses to Canadians and the problems he poses for Canada and need to be made aware of it.

    The people in the blue states are unable to afford much of anything now, not food, not healthcare, not housing, not transportation, nothing. And on top of that, they’re afraid of being disappeared because the Trump regime is disappearing people for no cause, because of things like having an autism awareness tattoo or like publishing a letter.

    It’s not to say that what Canada is facing from Trump isn’t bad, but no, people in the blue states are MORE aware of the dangers of Trump than you are. Canadians are justified in reacting, absolutely, but people in the U.S. in blue states are not unaware of what’s going on, and don’t need Canadians to make them aware of these things.
