Which is not to say that the others were great. They were often also horrific - ol’ Chris was just especially brutal.

Exactly. He was the monster whose actions other monsters viewed as beyond the pale. Same goes for Robert E. Lee.

:Nod

Prager U tells us slavery is better than death so..duh. Apparently they're taking over from PBS. At this point, I'm having difficulty seeing why the planet shouldn't just torch evil states like USA and Israel into the ground. They torture and kill children for shits & giggles.

At least 50% of us aren’t evil in the United States. Probably more like 75% - 85% of our total population, depending on your metrics. I recommend focusing on the 15 - 25% that truly are terrible. If you must bring us all down, though, then keep the lands and animals - it’s really beautiful here.

Your 50% needs to get of their effing arse and fix your country or you are merely going along to get along. America fundamentally don't comprehend how pissed the world is with you.

Oh we are extremely pissed off and have to live and work with some of these fools idiots and racists that made it possible. Also pissed off at the brain dead zombies who don’t care or even know what’s happening.

I swore an oath to defend against such crap. We I a serving US member today, I'd have already resigned. This is the deep shit and moral courage is a very rare commodity.

I am old or I would be ready to start forming militias to help defend against Trump and his Gestapo. I wish younger people would step up. Most the people I saw at the No Kings protest in my town were older Veterans and people that were old enough to have protested against Vietnam. 😢

On Election night as the results came in, my dad - a 92 y/o RCAF vet, stood up, went out to the shop, opened his vault, took out his No.4 Mk II Lee-Enfield (Long Branch😎), cleaned it and sharpened the bayonet. We ain't going down easy.

I'm beyond pissed off and deeply apologize for venting on you. The American "I didn't vote for this" rhetoric I find very bitter. It pisses me off. I wore a Canadian uniform for 14 years.

I’m with you at being pissed off. I’m a lifelong straight blue voter in a deep red state, and the stupidity of people voting against their own self interests have never ceased to amaze me and sicken me.

US elected him & letting him do this evil. I served in USA, 1/2 my family are US, I worked there, grew up in some states. The land I knew in the 1980s is gone. If Americans do not end this, I'm sorry - Canada is fundamentally done with you and anyone attacking us will be met with lethal violence.

The majority of us either voted for Kamala or couldn’t vote (children, immigrants). A lot of people didn’t vote - which is stupid, but not evil. A not insignificant # of people did vote for him because they were stupid and got conned - which is maddening, but not evil. The rest? Take ‘em down. 1/

Many of us are actively trying to stop this evil. Unfortunately, there is no leadership for us to rally around, so we do what we can to protest, speak out, & create mutual aid groups. Canada SHOULD do what you need to do. You may well be the last hope. Survive. 2/

Know this, though: If this regime, or any of its successors, attacks Canada, you won’t be fighting me. If it comes to that, I am either already dead, or I’m on my way to assist Canada. Alternately, I would be fine with my family and I being there in advance. Put in a good word for me, please.

War causes thoughts to harden. After 6 months, reasons won't matter. Once our folks start killing yours and vice versa, we are solidified. Already are TBH. I'll gladly choke on my own blood before a Yank boot steps in my home. My Queen's Commission oath didn't come with a best-before date.

Bro, I’m a subject matter expert in, among several other things, interstate war. I get you’re mad, I understand & empathize… BUT I am dealing with the fascist takeover of my own country & a lot of other life stressors. I don’t have the bandwidth for ‘splaining or Canadian Red Dawn visualizations.

We will and are. US doesn't get real info. Canada is off-shoring everything away from USA. Aluminum, potash, lumber, electricity - US is fucked. We're likely going to have to march on Washington again and I'll fight for a chance to be there. This time we'll do more than burn a few buildings.

Oh we know we're fucked. We know that the rest of the world sees the USA under Trump as belligerent and increasingly autocratic. We know they also see the US government incompetent. The time is right to start separating the US, since the institutions that the US government would normally use to...

Anyone who hates this has a lot of friends in Canada...though we can be rather blunt.

impose consequences on instransigent nations are currently staffed with people whose only qualifications are absolutely fealty to Trump. If Trump actually goes after Canada militarily, it would absolutely be his ruin. And I don't think those on the right that know that are the ones who will have...

I vented on you, and that was unfair. You have my full apology. In Canada we are SO frustrated and ridiculously pissed off. Like Jesse Waters better keep out of Canada or he meets a polar bear - pissed BUT: 1 US boot touches Canadian soil without our permission, they will be killed.

No worries, Friend, I’m right there with you. Without getting too detailed, I worked for the DoD, closely with NATO, on civ/mil relations, cultural competency, & capacity building. What’s been happening since January 20th is, in so many ways, my nightmare. It goes against everything I believe in.

My Uncle is a bleeding red former USAF E-9 and he's absolutely sick with what's happening. Personally, while I hope we see mass resignations, I fear the US reg forces are so warped they go full Wehrmacht. I REALLY want to be wrong, but the go along/to get along pressure is intense.

I know!!! Right? I was a staff weenie in our National Defence ADM PER branch. We rewrote the Canadian Forces after Somalia. Civ/Mil Coord and PKOPS was my profession!

Just gotta say, this is one of the most civil arguments I've seen online and I think it's wonderful that you recognize your own misdirected (albeit warranted) rage. I for one, fully support Canada coming down here to give the US a taste of our own liberation medicine. We could certainly use it now

Ego often gets in the way of learning. I have to remind myself we have 2 ears and 1 mouth for reasons.

Honestly, same.

I have kin buried in Europe who died fighting this evil. We, the world - wants to see US putting down the Cheeto-s and getting in the streets and ENDING this. We've been warning you for fucking decades. Big time frustrated with the entire country regardless of what you chose to call yourselves.
