So basically just the deepest fascist base supporters.

Nice to see an alternative. The fact that KSP2 is still for sale is just shameful. It’s effectively abandonware.

The article gets a few points right but it is yet another news outlet that missed the really big point: Trump threatened to invade Canada. There was a period of time when it was becoming increasingly clear that he was going to use fentanyl as a manufactured crisis and as context for a military occupation or at the very least placing military on the Canadian border. Nearly every time Trump talked about Canada he had to drop some sort of line where he mentioned annexing Canada.

I'm not sure why this detail always slips through the cracks whenever news agencies talk about the souring Canada/US relations. Threatening war on your neighbour is a great way to destroy generations of built-up trust in an instant.

No brainer, imo.

Firstly - They probably grew up or came into voting age under a Trudeau government. They don't know what it's like to live under an awful Conservative government. They also blame the federal government for things outside of its control.

Secondly - Younger people are superglued to social media which is a completely unchecked and unregulated IV-shot of manipulation and disinformation.

Thirdly - Political education is extremely poor. People simply do not understand how government works at any level and they don't care to know. BC's last provincial election saw a sizeable amount of people vote for the BCCons party because they wanted to get rid of Trudeau... in a provincial election. People blame governments for things they cannot control and demand governments to fix things that they cannot.

Fourthly - Right wing groups are intentionally targeting disenfranchised youth, particularly young men. To say we are going to deal with a new generation of ultra-toxic masculinity is an understatement, but that mentality usually leans right.

Oh now that would be beautiful.

I wish these people would just move down there instead of dragging the rest of us with them into their pit of misery.

There are. Heaps of them.

The US is just a big place and very spread out. And the ruling government and its media conglomerates are trying to keep them out of the media.

They desperately want to flood our protected markets and crash our economy and are pissed we aren't letting them - hence the threats. Literally every interaction we have had with the Donald government has been a goddamn threat. Let us crush your local production, let us have your resources, let us have the Arctic, etc etc

In some ways he already is. I will give a few examples:

• The Conservative party in Canada was set to win a historic landslide majority victory in the upcoming elections. Their embracing of US-styled politics combined with Canadians feeling more united than ever has lead to them absolutely cratering in the polls so badly that the incumbent party is polling ahead in some polls. It is now being considered as potentially one of the worst election blunders in Canadian history. Canadians are cheering on local brands and production and are very warm to the idea of closer ties with Europe and the UK.

• President Zelenskyy is being heralded as a leader and hero of Ukrainian and European freedom and is seen as a model of just and honest leadership. Despite what Trump's supporters think, many Americans still support Ukraine and Zelenskyy.

• Prime Minister Starmer of the UK has united parliament, including their opposition, for increased support of Ukraine and European security and sovereignty. It is a huge shift from where they stood during the Brexit days.

• The EU is currently working on rearmament plans to promote domestic production of arms and security measures. Canada appears to be interested in this and I imagine other countries will eventually be too. The era of everyone buying American arms is coming to an end.

• Expanding on the last point more broadly: The US has shown to the world it is an unreliable partner and ally and the boycotts of American goods and services are spreading fast across its former allies. For example, there is a full on nation-wide boycott of American products in Canada right now and it is costing the Americans billions of dollars.

• The days of tip-toeing around Russia for the sake of political niceties is over. Major nation leaders are now calling out Russia for being a bloodthirsty dictatorship and accusing Trump of being a Russian plant. We need more than this, but this is a good start. Such open challenges to fascism would never have flown 5+ years ago. The first step to fighting fascism is to recognise it exists and identifying it as a threat.

Ukrainian troops firing at Russians with weapons purchased with money from seized Russian assets.

That's poetry right there.

"failed foreign economies"

Lol. Lmao, even.

Absolute clown.
