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

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.

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.

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.

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

Trump has been a candidate for 3 elections. That's 12 years. Where's the change? Their system is inherently broken, just voting for the lesser evil and doing literally nothing else clearly does not work.

For the record, fuck trump; if i were american, i'd vote for kamala. though only begrudgingly, since all they really are good for is stalling. But you can't just vote and call it a day.

Thing is, when we actually empower Democrats they don’t really do much of anything anyway. So the ‘lesser’ argument is getting tired. Thanks DNC.
