Canadians are 'perplexed' by Trump's tariffs, ambassador to the US says

[herrvorragend@lemmy.world]

Agreed to everything you said, but the X motion and "suck it!" does not come from Stone Cold Steve Austin. It was a staple of Degeneration X. Sorry for nitpicking

It’s to throw confusion while musk takes control of the treasury!

[eagle0110@lemmy.world]

Right, and your solution to this is to scream and yell and curse around to everyone exactly like that oversized orange colored baby who got elected?

You do understand this affects you in every way possible too even if you are not an American, especially with Russian forces literally right on the door front of the Western Europe, don't you?

Even the people who voted for him or are closely involved with his election are also confused because they haven't got their exceptions.

It would've been better to vote for the lesser evil and buy some time to regroup and mobilize.

I mean let's be honest: That was not going to happen. Nobody regrouped or mobilized under Biden, even when he doubled down on genocide or when the DNC nominated him and then nominated Harris without a primary and tanked her campaign. Nothing I've seen in the final year of Biden's term convinced me that anyone was going to do anything about the DNC except complain.

Oh ok we should've just voted for the fascists too then huh

At least make an intelligent point or just admit that there's no logic behind the hate

[felixcress@lemmy.world]

It was always an excuse, not a reason.

A lot of us think it's to prepare for an invasion judging by how much 51st state bullshit he and his followers are spewing.

[dukepontus@sh.itjust.works]

Dont pretend the rest of the world are saints. I live in Europe, we also have the rise of extreme right (fascism)... Less judging other people and more protesting. We need eachother, now is not the time for infighting.

Trudeau already did what he asked and spent another 1.3b on border control last week. This actually has nothing to do with drugs and immigration at all

[whatamlemmy@lemmy.world]

It's to distract from all their treasonous crimes! The fact they're illegally destroying countless government institutions, looting the public coffers, and giving Musk the keys to the kingdom. When the dust settles they'll have seized control of everything important.

They aren't gonna invade Canada or Greenland... At least, not for a few years; not until they've purged enough military leadership and replaced them with loyalists. I hope they are dumb enough to try in 2025 though. That might genuinely result in civil war. I can't see the US military going along with it.

[hellsbelle@sh.itjust.works]

Both the DNC and RNC have historically been hunky-dory with the status quo, mostly because change is hard and requires a leadership geared towards doing what's right vs what sustains their power and profis.

American politics is completely fucked up and I'm not sure there's anything that can be done except a complete overhaul.

[jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works]

This. Numerous actions taken by the administration so far have been blatantly illegal or unconstitutional.
Gotta muddy the water so no one has time to focus on that.

[mothmandelorian@lemmy.world]

It's more likely to destabilize the American population so they cannot resist the fascist takeover.
