American living in Canada with dual US-Canadian citizenship. Glad to be here. Worried the worst of US fascism heads up north. It's here already.

Here's a brutal reality. In spite of the talk about how almost half of Americans are dumber than roadkill(they are), we saw how apocalyptically close Canada came to having Trump grifter PP as PM. Meaning half of Canadians are damn close to America's roadkill number. Conservatism is a mental illness.
The vast majority of farmers are MAGATS, you’d have a hard time finding farmers willing to try that. Organizing that from the ground up is a massive undertaking.
That has a great chance of working. What doesn’t have a great chance is America doing it.
You are correct. I should have been clearer…steps away from “completing the transition.” I see a bad ending with not much evidence to believe differently.
That would never work now, it’s a completely different country. I lived through all that back then and spent a lot of time walking out of school classes and attended lots of protests. The U.S. has swung so far right you could call it fascist. Which it is steps away from becoming.
Americans will never do it. They won’t do the revolution. They can barely protest for more than a day with a few million when it should be 40 million everyday until this ends. Sorry to say, the fascists are going to win this until Americans wake up. you’re also fighting 50 million MAGATS. Good luck.
Not much history of a fascist dictatorship overthrow being peaceful. They live for violent behavior, it’s in their DNA. So expecting a peaceful response when you are dragging them out? Well, no. You may not want to use violence, but they’re going to make you. Don’t bring a knife to a gun fight.
It's inevitable, blue states will need to secede, might as well get it started by blue states withholding federal payments to the government. Blue state governors get the meetings started to plan the new country, which should include a conversation with Canada. West coast and NE states join Can?YES!
Netflix, watch Katrina-Come Hell and High Water. There's always one thing you can take to the bank. Want something totally fucked up? Put conservatives in charge. The mayor of NOLA was a Dem and he fucked it up, so equal time. Bush and FEMA total failure.Now there's no real FEMA. Republicans=failure
Sadly over the last 20 years there is a mountain of evidence on human behavior that we are NOT all the same. A significant percentage of our species, around 30% could be considered Apex predators, though our entire species is the top predator on the planet. They’re violent, delusional, and dangerous
We already do, it's been going on for a long time. All the UPC traitors in Alberta and the CPC have been getting tens of millions of dollars from the Republican Party to be put towards Alberta secession and toppling the Liberal government. Both current and previous governments.
Excellent choice using Hector. The actor that played him sadly has passed in 2023.
Sadly, once he goes to hell there are 20 more like him and likely worse.
So...none of the uniforms in this photo are Bear uniforms. I wonder whos brilliant idea it was to pay attention to that minor detail and just grab a stock pic from who knows where. Typical nowadays...
Let’s make it a $50 by January 1, 2026. PayPal transfer. Ok?
My guess if it went to the Supreme Court for a ruling? Well, we already know the decision.
Despite the denial, fascism is taking hold in Canada with Alberta leading the way. Smith and her authoritarian cabal are the biggest threat to Canada's sovereignty. I do not think Mark Carney realizes the deep danger they are. Charlie does. I wish he was in charge of internal threats to Canada.
I'll just reply with "not yet." They took an oath to the constitution and so far have been following the authoritarian fascist orders and not their oath. NO NATIONAL MILITARY should be in the streets of any city/state. Are you a betting man Tom? Sadly when the order comes it will be open fire.
And please, someone explain the following even if there is no rational explanation. Why is the biggest right wing propaganda media outlet that had the biggest impact turning the US into a fascist authoritarian country still allowed to broadcast in Canada? That's right. Fox News should be BANNED.NOW!
There's massive funding from the Republican Party funding the separation movement in Alberta. The breakaway changes the strategic map allows the US to send troops into US Alberta and attack east and west. Carney needs to take this very seriously, it's currently the biggest MAGA threat to Canada.
Your last sentence described 70 million MAGATS. A blanket statement that fits all of them. But there's more to it. Conservatism is a form of mental illness. Over the last 20 years there's been evidence building that diagnosed the bizarre behavior. Delusion, violence, lack of empathy and reality.
I lived in the US for 54 years before we emigrated to Canada. I’ve been politically active and aware going back to Vietnam, which is what woke me up. I could never have ever thought possible in my 70+ years on this planet that the US could become this. Massive studies on human behavior is in order.
You mean 30 years. That’s the average length of an authoritarian fascist regime. The current ones around the world have extended those numbers by huge amounts. Russia, China, North Korea are realistically not that far from 100 year reign. Number of fascists removed by an election. History says zero.
It was so obvious a rehearsed empathy grabber but listen to almost all mainstream media, that this was a real thing.
Human life has no meaning to the apex predators of our species. They lack empathy, attachment to reality, and the worst stat of all. They are 30% of our species. Not coincidentally the vast majority of them reside in conservative political parties. It explains why rational discussion is impossible.
Totally disagree. Up to this point it’s been obvious that all branches of military will do whatever they’re told to do. The real test lays ahead in the next six months when they will be asked to turn their weapons on Americans. They will, until they eventually turn the weapons on the fascists.
Nope. If there was strong evidence I got cheated the last thing I would do is what she did. Disappear. Clearly, you don't know the history of fascism. . Fascist governments remove by elections-0 The average time fascist governments in power-31 years. The current crop around the planet are 2/3x that.
And there is the problem. Delusional Americans still believing it's a free country or the majority are free citizens. Free citizens? Let's talk about that before the end of the year, shall we?
Israel has a violent narcissistic fascist leader, possibly worse than the US. And that's saying something.The world seems to not care, because the ONLY way it ends is to get rid of the fascists. How many fascist governments have been removed by elections? History says NONE. The US is in big trouble.
It's the only non violent solution that's left. But you're asking Americans...To sacrifice long term. Dedicate themselves to the cause beyond two days. Be willing to withstand financial and possibly physical threats. This ain't Europe or the Americas. Even the mideast. Americans won't do it.
Doesn't care. No Republicans care including the delusional cult that follows this. All of them want a fascist authoritarian state, which leads to the obvious conclusion that a civil war is a distinct possibility. That means pro democracy Americans are fighting half the US population and the govt.
Americans will NEVER do it..OK, maybe for 1 day with a few million. That does absolutely nOTHING. It needs to be every working non MAGAT to stay home for however long it takes. Do not pay taxes, credit cards or mortgages. This can only work if 50 million+ do it. They won't, Americans are weak/scared
So was Kamala. We are really screwed as what lays ahead is dire.
Um, midterms are 2026. Doesn't matter, it's going to be a rigged election.
Those you are fighting WANT a massive amount of violence. Once that happens fear will stop almost all citizens from protesting. Don't forget the likely civil war possibility, millions of MAGATS want this. The only likely non-violent solution is blue state secession. I believe it's inevitable.
Americans as usual are sleepwalking through this. Afraid to face the truth. Afraid to stand up in masses because now that the window to stop this peacefully has closed? Mass protests by tens of millions everyday is what's needed. They will get mowed down by the military AND millions of MAGATS. DIRE.
The NDP is the equivalent of the Democratic Party. They do little, can't take a stand when one is really needed. Go along with whatever allows them to avoid a conflict with oppositional parties(impossible in politics). Who should be running NDP? Charlie Angus. He's better than all 3 parties combined
Do we understand that there are still tens of millions of MAGATS that DO want a dictator? That conditioning has been going on since the Tea Party bullshit over a decade ago. Maybe even during Bush II. MAGATS being really dumb don't know or care what a dictator is, until THEY get hit with it.
Listening to news on some of the usuals that I am growing rapidly tired of. MSNBC is a big one. I’ve heard politicians, newscasters, supposed financial and political experts. 95% of them can’t say it, like it’s profanity that would get them shut down. The word is fascism. They still can’t say it.
The admins of the cup are huge Trumpers. Few will show up and it will be an economic calamity. They don’t care. I hope most of the teams don’t show, admins of the cup get booted out and they reschedule a year later.
When the current fascist government is FINALLY kicked out 30+ years from now(average lifespan of a fascist govt, 30+ yrs), The HAGUE will have an unending list of those that need a trial with a just sentence. Congress, Supreme Court, President and all the cronies&Those military that broke their oath
Voted for her, supported all she supposedly stood for. But she let us down. When it was so obvious the election had serious electronic cheating that threw the election to fascists, what happened? Nothing. She disappeared. Not a peep that all swing states need a recount. "When we fight, we win."Nope.
America’s officially an authoritarian fascist government. We said way back you have 90 to stop it.Nope Options: A full on strike by every working American until they leave. Won’t work. 1/2 of U.S.A. wants this. Military coup-unlikely Civil war-possible Revolution-unlikely Secession-best choice
Here's some facts that should scare the shit out of most Americans, but it will not. Almost the entire country is in total denial of what's about to happen. Fascist governments thrown out of power with elections-0 Average length of time a fascist government stays in power? Approximately 31 years.
I suppose in a dark way, and I'm not being depressing (I'm older than her/him?), it's the death of the 250yo experiment. It is all over except the final chapter. The US becomes a violent authoritarian fascist state. cmarmitage.substack.com/p/i-research...
I have to say, I'm still scared to death of the Conservative Party of Canada.They are the biggest threat to Canada's democracy and will turn our country into the US as fast as they possibly can. PM Carney is not taking them as seriously as the threat they are. cmarmitage.substack.com/p/i-research...
We need to get rid of Jeffries as fast as we humanly can. He's destroying the Democratic party from within as every single corporate Dem is doing. Americans being to afraid and unwilling to fight back, Dems WILL play a significant role when fascism takes over. cmarmitage.substack.com/p/i-research...
I’m going to post this over and over until everybody on bluesky reads it. We are in a dire situation with possibly the worst time coming to the planet since World War II. It has the potential for far worse consequences. Please share. cmarmitage.substack.com/p/i-research...
Reagan also committed treason to get elected in 1980. He conspired with a foreign power, knowing it would have consequences on the election. Then he committed treason again with Iran – contra.Nixon also committed twice. Conspiring with North Vietnam and Watergate. Conservatism is deadly to the world
This is a must read for everyone, especially Americans. Midterms? POTUS election? WILL. NOT. HAPPEN. We're there, we will not be able to get back what we had. The stats don't lie, the apocalypse that was ignored is out of the bottle, it's never going back in. cmarmitage.substack.com/p/i-research...
Everyone needs to read this, especially AMERICANS. You can't argue with stats, unless you're a brain dead MAGAT. The lines been crossed, too late to return. "Once fascists win power democratically, they have never been removed democratically. Not once. Ever." cmarmitage.substack.com/p/i-research...
I don’t think Carney is taking the threat that Cons and PP are the biggest threat to the survival of Canada. In light of Carney’s moves to the right(anti labour, contracts allowed by Can companies to staff Alligator Alcatraz) my faith in him has been shaken. He just might bow down unexpectedly.
I hope Carney will go Gavin Newsom on his fascist ass and make him look like the piece of garbage he is.
He has Epstein, pee pee tapes, trying to have sex with his daughter tapes, Melanoma straying off the ranch tapes, the fascist with a loaded diaper tapes...probably so much more.
If there is any doubt that Canadian MAGATS are not as dumb as Orange MAGATS, that's been settled yet again. Americans don't pay much attention to what's going on politically in Canada, Canada has a serious domestic threat equal to what Republicans have done to the US.Keep voting for Can MAGATS.FFS.
78 million American fascist traitors voted him in. I still believe a vast majority will do it again given the chance.
What's coming? Trump is sending the army and navy to Latin America to "fight the drug cartels." What is it reality? A military force is being put in place to invade Mexico. Also to box in California when the time comes to "quiet them down." Impossible? NO. responsiblestatecraft.org/trump-drug-c...
Teacher shortages are also in NY and California. Why the fuck would anyone go to a red shithole MAGAT state to work unless they were MAGATS themselves? Canada is looking for doctors, nurses, teachers(post secondary is a little more in demand).It would pull MAGATS out of those states, a plus for both
Shall we talk about his anti union/labour stance with Air Canada? The disappointment in Carney is growing unfortunately.
As the days and weeks go on he’s doing things I hoped he wouldn’t do. This anti union/labour stance, him allowing a Canadian company help staff Alligator Alcatraz along with some border security(that may not appear as bad as it seems). Another let down again from a pretender. PP is worse but…..
More lies and garbage from the lame stream media, you. No proof from you, ICE. The gestapo pulling him off the street, no proof. When the revolution starts and finally ends, the national and local media that supported the fascist takeover need to pay a price. A much bigger price than this poor guy.
One that went along with it was the biggest travesty of all, Kamala Harris. Total silence after it became blatantly obvious something was seriously amiss. The fascist even admitted that his fellow sociopath rigged the election. Surely Kamala, you would immediately call for a recount, right?Crickets.
It’s Germany, 1936. We know what comes next, it’s going to be the same this time around as it was back then. This is eerily similar. The US is the Axis of Evil, US and Russia. The fascist government is consolidating power and planning its expansion. Next comes the gestapo disappearing citizens.
Isn’t it so obvious? And if anyone thinks the military will keep their oath to uphold the constitution? You’ll be one of the many about to feel the bullet hit the bone.
I saw a half dozen pics someone posted a few days ago and downloaded. These need to travel far and wide to see the sickness of this piece of garbage. The look on their faces tells so much. And peeking in on the right? Yeah, her.
I’ll bet he choked on the first try. Vlad wasn’t happy he couldn’t “fulfill” Vlad’s orders. So home they went. He embarrassed the orange turd on the international stage as planned. Oh, I bet there was a video made of the attempted swallow.
I’m having serious reservations about the motives/goals of PM Mark Carney of Canada are. This article explains what is happening and it’s beyond concerning that the PM is allowing this contract. He’s better than the Con alternative, it doesn’t mean he’s clean. He’s not. thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025...
When the nominee who based her campaign on the phrase, “when we fight we win” disappeared days after the election… when it became more and more obvious there were egregious discrepancies and building evidence the election was stolen and she never asked for a swing state recount? It was over.For good
I’ve given up because the majority of Americans that need to fight back never really started.Took it seriously. Understood what it takes to remove a fascist government. There won’t be midterms, not fair ones.Martial law by the end of the year, a real possibility. It will all be clear soon. Good luck
He can not/does not/required by law....None of that happens anymore. As a law professor I would expect you know what's up?. There is no rule of law any more. It hangs by its last thread which is just about to break. Two options left. Revolution(never going to happen until it's BAD) and secession.
I hope not, but I have little doubt they will have no problem shooting citizens with no apprehension. Only when the civil war turns into a revolution and an unimaginable number of Americans have been killed(including military and their friends and family) will they turn the guns on the fascists.
Marc, we all love what you guys are doing. But we have to face the unimaginable reality the US finds itself in...Asking the Supreme Court to do ANYTHING that protects democracy and goes after the hundreds of criminals in this government has as much chance as tRUMP admitting he's a pedophile.
Chaos? This is the first step of 4 more to come. As the saying goes, you ain't seen nothing yet.
Blue Skyers. Read this book. Or audio listen to it. It's a must do regardless of your background. MAGATS won't get past the Introduction before the swearing and drooling starts, so you're excused.
I've said the following many times in my life under a variety of circumstances, but I never would have thought the current one was a remote possibility. WE'RE FUCKED. We moved to Canada 16 years ago, we had an inkling it would go bad after Bush II was reelected. But this?!? No no. Never possible.
I'd like to agree with you there will be a free and fair election, but at the trajectory the US is headed down at lightening speed? I don't believe that's possible. The full fascist takeover will conclude much earlier than the midterms.
I gladly will comment as I move along. It’s so important for those not present in real time to get a true synopsis of history.
I figured out how to access my download and have been listening on audiobooks. This is a must read for all, regardless of age. As an oldie I continue to flashback to 60's moments which you reference when I was protesting Vietnam in HS. The oligarchs were destroying America pre Civil War. Evil lurks.
So here I am, a techie Luddite. I was able to listen to the book on my computer but on my phone, I can’t find it. I purchased it at a price that should have been higher,(authors deserve it) but can’t find where it is kept in my Amazon account. I’ll keep searching.
She has to win, it’s justice. Which there is so little of in the world nowadays. The sad part of this is that it shows how many Can MAGATS there are in Canada. They are the biggest internal threat to the country, along with the CPC.
Usually food is more expensive in Canada, but that is ridiculous. I was in the hometown for July and it was nothing like that. With the exchange rate food in Canada is significantly cheaper. Tho it is definitely rising. Coffee is going through the roof.
I just started listening to the introduction. I LOVE what I'm hearing, you're telling it like it is and as it was. As an oldie who lived through quite a bit of post WWII I can relate in real time to what went on, tho as a youngster I didn't quite get it until much later.
These titles hit me first... Psychology of Apocalypse Culture War, Class War 2022: Truth and Generations
How can I get the audio versions of the books? I don't do Kindle and to be honest, even at the age of 70 I'm working full time(which is exhausting). Driving to work with the audio book playing would be extremely relaxing.
Excellently stated. Very little has been done to stop it, it's accelerating at a rapid pace. Unfortunately there are only two solutions, the first highly unlikely Americans will take part. Too scared, unwilling. A revolution. Many will die. 2nd option, blue state secession. Blue Govs need to begin.
Worst part of it all. Kamala knew it was stolen as many of us suspected, and there was total silence from her after the obvious was obvious. Her whole “when we fight we win” nonsense was just that. A big show with nothing to show for it.
There’s plenty of MAGATS in Canada. And Canada was one election away as being just as dumb as Americans. Luckily enough Canadians got their heads out of PP’s ass and we skated by the skin of our back bacon. CPC is a huge internal threat to a democratic Canada. It ain’t over yet by a long shot.
The chances of anyone in America will do something to stop the fascist takeover is about as likely as Trump admitting he's a rapist pedophile. Easy to do the math on the odds...0.00% 6 months of no resistance pretty much guarantees it.
A comment for Americans who still aren't convinced about what is happening and what's about to happen. The test run for martial law is taking place in DC. He's itching to see how Illinois will respond when the assault begins on the Texas reps and homeless. The end is almost here. Stop it? TOO LATE.
fascism are not political parties or ideologies. They should be classified as human behaviors. The "political party" element allows us to cohabitate with those of us that behave like us. The Apex predators.
I'd love to read them, any links are appreciated. I'm not any expert, but I'm an excellent student. I've been deep into studying human behavior since 2012 when the bizarre behavior of humans in conservative parties started my inquiry. So I have researched quite a bit. This: conservatism, liberalism,
Sounds like you and I are within a decade of each other in age, I think I have a decade on you..I'm 70. 80's was the beginning of the end with Reagan's election. I remember protesting against Vietnam in the 60's when Nixon and his party secretly vowed to never let that and equal rights happen again.
Awareness of truth is not the answer. Awareness that your fear response is illogical(depending on the factors) and you have to get it down to where your emotions don't control the response is critical. And really difficult. Our primitive brains dominates us in many ways, programed to keep us alive.
Don't worry Americans, your resistance against the fascist government is going well. Evidence? The government has accelerated the Project 2025 schedule in hyper mode, Martial law is only a few month away. You hear little about the Gestapo being assembled to drag American to gulags. Resistance=fail.
We got 20 years, 30 at most before climate change does us in. I'm 70, hope to stick around long enough to see the ocean rise 40 feet.
Truth only works when it's accepted. We've seen since the beginning of recorded human history how adverse humans are to truth when they don't like what it tells. We are delusional animals in that respect. Truth stimulates the fear emotion which in turn triggers denial to mitigate the fear we feel.
History shows that the military will turn on the citizens and follow any orders they are given. Only when this country has hit its lowest point in its history…and those in the military are directly affected will they turn the weapons on those that deserve it. It’s a long way to go before we’re there
This sums it up exactly as it is. Of course Americans will pretend none of it is that bad. Or it doesn’t really exist. Or someone else will stop it. Reality. You’re entering the final stages, a sad moment in history.
As America accelerates towards its final demise as a so called democracy into a full fledged authoritarian fascist autocracy, I give thanks. That we were allowed to emigrate to Canada in 2009, and are so grateful the Canadian government allowed us into their beautiful country. Thank you Canada.
That’s a great plan. But you know who ain’t gonna do that?!? Americans. Weak, scared, in denial. Privileged. Nope. No one will show up. That’s why the fascists will win. Easily.
