We might not be friendly territory for very long. The right wing propaganda machine has reached all corners of the world. Very real chance the cons win this next election.

Just not paying attention. We advancing too quickly imo. Not mature enough as a species to control this kinda stuff

That's different. Not only was the us way less advanced back then, they also had a way bigger logistics problem to solve because it was half way across the world. Niger wasn't a full scale war. And maybe you're right, maybe we could do some kinda insurgency or gorilla warfare. But that doesn't exactly sound like a walk in the park either. Also, canadians are soft. We live in a first world country completely removed from any kind of war or suffering. We aren't going to fight back unless they give us a reason to. If it's bloodless and our lives don't change much, it's more then likely we will have wounded pride but will just go back to normal. I'm sure some will fight, but I don't think those types are common here. We are more like Americans than we want to admit. Fat, lazy, complacent, and stupid.

We have 1/10th your population and economy. We have a tiny military in comparison with outdated technology. It would be laughably easy for you to take us over. Yeah, maybe the rest of the world joins in, or maybe they just let it happen. You guys are the preeminent military force on earth. I could see it happening without any resistance from our allies. I bet that it woudl lead to the collapse of nato. In fact, I bet it ends the way that putin had hoped for Ukraine. Even an under ground resistance would be weak since you guys are right next door. The logistics of a full scale invasion would be simple for your guys. Honestly at this point i don't think there is a lot preventing it from happening. Trump has made it clear he isn't going to follow the law. He has also made it clear that he is willing to do extreme things. At this point I think it's a matter of what is easiest for him. Collapse us economically so we join willingly or a military invasion. I think the reason he picked the first is because it's easier.

Look up curtis yarvin, Peter thiel, Marc andreeson. They along with jd Vance and elo musk all subscribe to a similar ideology which I think is what is in store for you guys. I'm hoping it doesn't reach us here, but I'm pretty sure it will since it's almost a guarantee that we will be annexed. Looking at moving to another continent but I don't know which one is actually safe anymore. Maybe Australia?

So how likely do you think it is the US comes back from this? Like it honestly does look like the collapse of western civilization is happening right now. Europe is almost in all out war with Russia and even if that doesn't happen, more and more countries over there are electing the far right. America is about to invade all of its allies and even if they don't do it, their diplomatic reputation has been completely shattered. No matter what way you look at it, this does seem like the end of western civilization. What comes after I think is already known. It will be the silicon valley take over plus whatever project 2025 is.

Well, fuck your politicians for being useless cunts. They should have seen this coming. We all did. We knew he was gonna win and to think he of all people would respect the position he is in is ludicrous. Now I'm gonna get invaded or have my economy crashed at best.

This is how I see it. My nature is conservative but I constantly see how conservative politicians are the worst and most evil people in our society. They take my naturally fearful and anxious nature and attempt to twist it into anger and hate so that I vote for them. But the mask is lifted at this point. I honestly don't know what I believe in anymore or what to think other than that any conservative politician is going to be at best a useful idiot for some billionaire and at at worst a dangerous power hungry narcissist committed to the destruction of any law or person that stands against him. Truly awful people. Not to say liberals are perfect, but at least there is some sense of duty in what they do. They at least want to make things better. I don't always agree with them, but i trust them. I don't trust conservatives anymore and don't know why I ever did.

How is it that Trump is able to so easily dance circles around lawyers and politicians and move around the law without actually breaking it? How are career politicians outmaneuvered by this guy? What the fuck are you guys paying them for? I feel like people who's whole career has been politics or law should know how to beat this guy. Or at least been able to stop him somehow at some point along the way. It's almost as if they let him become president because even the people who are supposed to be opposed to him benefit from him in some way or their benefactors do.

The expanse is top tier tv. Not sure how it wasn't more popular. Community is gonna go down as one of the classics

I think life is about maximizing positive subjective experience. If it doesn't make you happy or allow you to live happy in other moments, don't do it. Work sucks, but it gives you money that allows you to buy things that make you happy.
