And this is why I think our superpower status is dead
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Problem is the burned bridges with allies
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
I mean the man has no public appearances, he was talking about getting into Heave
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
That's complete nonsense.
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Which is not one I want, but it might be the best choice I can make. I don:t have skills another country would want
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Sadly my option is Israel
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
They aren't. I voted for Biden and Kamala. I never voted for that man
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Problem is Canada doesn:t have the capacity
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
I also fear they will turn on American Jews. We didn't vote for him either, many of us hate him
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Isn't Carney trying to build more
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
I'm planning on getting out too. If I can anyway.
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
If we were a great country, Trump would never have been allowed to even run. The saddest thing too is I believed in what this country could be before 2016 But nope, MAGA is who we are. 30% love this, 30% couldn't get off their asses to vote, and only 30% are fighting this
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Rural MAGAs who vote on spite, sure they should feel it.. But rural liberals, hell no
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
In hindsight, I wish he did
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Problem is very soon it will also be black and brown Americans fleeing there
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Dude, Canada isn't a dumping ground for all of our problems.. Obviously get the people in most danger there if we could but white Americans put this country in this mess. I mean I'm a member of an historically persecuted group (Jewish) and I know this admin will turn on us.
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Problem is this admin will not stop with trans people, I know for a fact we Jews will be targeted
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
And Levis were founded by Jews no less, a group who also overwhelmingly rejected Trump. 70%
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Uh the article says they are just moving their Canadian bottling operations to Quebec
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Problem is the science losses
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Trump threatened their sovereignty. That isn't something you can walk back
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
The real issue is Canada
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
It was Dave Nortion and WCW
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
It was WCW
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
I said before, let them fire the first shot
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
It may take images of protestors being gunned down
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Shit, even the Nazis had Strength Through Joy.
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
That is why they support Israel
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Soft secession is the only way it works.
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Agreed. And as I said it sets the stage for when the US goes splitsville, the blue states will be fine
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
And probably builds up infrastructure for when states go splitsville
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
I'm Jewish by the way
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
As do I
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
The sad thing too is innocents will suffer regardless. The Arab world pays lip service to them
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Yes but it won't be the same .
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
I mean this Yank here knows even then, I don't suspect many will buy for a long time
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
And I suspect as a yank, I come in peace, it to be permanent.. It's been 6 months, buying habits have changed. Once buying habits change, they almost never go back.
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Honestly, I expect it to be permanent. The sad truth is we own this.
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
While I am horrified on 1st amendment grounds mind you.. The MSM brought this on themselves
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
I have no sympathy for either, they sanewashed Trump in the campaign cycle instead of warning the country of Project 2025, they wanted a horse race for ratings
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
These people keep voting Republican while their lives continue to get worse, at this point, it's their own damn fault
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
The algorithm is fun
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
And that's why I suspect they support what Israel is doing in Gaza and West Bank, to make room for us when they deport us there
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social)
@joelhs.bsky.social I suspect the goal of this admin is to deport American Jews to Israel once the ethnic cleansing in Gaza is done
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Old Tweet, and also because we of all people know a fascist when we see one
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
I'm already working on developing a viable job skill so other countries will take me
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Honestly, if we still have a country after this, I will emigrate and probably not look back.
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Because one Trump's ego, and two, those states fund the US
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Except Trump wouldn't
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Others like the Christian nationalists want us gone
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Except these people need to own the libs
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Because they love bullying liberals
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
My fear is it will end violently
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Why do you think they wouldn't just use the military
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Perhaps sooner
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Problem is there is no successor
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Why would MAGA agree to it?
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
And Xi has consolidated so much power that China doesn't have a successor
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
No I mean if they try Trump will just use the military on them
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Well maybe the NE if New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, and the like leave
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
And that's not even factoring in other states
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Probably Nevada too
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Problem is they won't let them
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Again, problem is the Heritage ghouls won't accept it either
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
The other half I suspect would have fled to blue states
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Problem is the people stuck there
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
There's no peaceful way out it seems.
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Why would it be peaceful? Why would Trump accept this?
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Which is decades of sectarian conflict
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
It'd be a problem for Trump as it means a two front war
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Problem is it won't just be California either.
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Which is why California needs help from other blue states
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
It will, look at what Trump is doing now. He won't accept US states withholding taxes
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
I did say this was absurd but it'd make sense from a trade standpoint
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
By the way, this is something to consider if the US does go splitsville, this is ridiculous and absurd but from a economic standpoint, you'd be fools not to at least consider if they asked annexing California, Washington, and Oregon, for one simple reasom.. A land bridge to Mexico
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Hey, you'd also gain New York City
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Quite frankly: I'd be better off in New York if anything. At least that part of the US is a sane one relatively.
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
A 2nd American civil war would resemble the Yugoslav wars far more than the first ACW.
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Also, there is one major problem with your blue states idea...
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Netanyahu literally addressed Congress
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
They certainly are punching above their weight
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Which is why this entire feud is so dumb and so nonsensical
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Fair enough. But if SHTF and I'm in danger, I'm out of here
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
And that is another reason I want out. That is why I like Canada. Your politics are less stupid
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Which is a consultant problem
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
trt.global/world/articl...
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Plus, Israel might not accept me anyway because I despise Netanyahu and Betar is known for getting the Israeli government to ban vocal critics
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
It's a values thing for me as much as anything..
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
I mean maybe. But that's a hypothetical
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Fair. My point was learning job skills so I could immigrate on my own merits so I could get out. And why it was Canada was actually because I LIKE Canadian values. Diversity being viewed as a strength, helping a neighbor. Stuff I thought the US actually stood for until this election..
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
I mean that was Biden's fault for not stepping down sooner so we could have had an open primary
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Except Democratic Party consultants kneecapped him
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Look cost of living was a real problem, yet swing voters here (thanks electoral college), were so mad at Biden, they voted for change when Trump wasn't even selling them anything, his cost of living plan was to blame Biden and ramble on about groceries being a beautiful word.
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Because this was planned before the DC thing, I no longer trust the average voter here to make the right decision..
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
And let me tell you this, it has NOTHING to do with Canada being the backup plan, I’m not wanting to immigrate because I think Canada is my backup plan — I’m moving because American society is broken beyond repair, Trump is just a symptom of it.
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Of course once I get the skills I need
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
But if need be, I can always look to Europe if I must.
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Except the state is a genocidal one..
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
Fair enough
Birdy (@iansiegel.bsky.social) reply parent
And even when Trump is gone, I don't see this changing. I expect the loss of Canadian tourism to be permanent in some respects You can't insult a country the way Trump has and expect things to be the same as they were.
