‘Nobody Is Safe’: Canada Sends World a Warning Against Trump
-
As a Californian, I would love for us to become Canada’s newest province.
Hmm.. CA, CA.
-
I wouldn't, as Canadian, because California would fully dominate such a union. It would be Canada joining California, not the reverse. Economically, politically, you'd be the biggest and most important province. I doubt you'll be happy being part of Confederation or being technically a monarchy.
Conveniently, if any states were to join Canada, they would most likely do so as territories (at least initially), and so would be somewhat politically neutered.

They always need someone to blame for their ever descending new level of hell they've made of society.
Fascists sell off society a plank at a time while telling the angry, ignorant crowd which powerless scapegoat is to blame this week.
Hell, my fellow Americans have been blaming powerless homeless people, the neighbors we've failed as a society, for hurting their property values with their inconsiderate continued existence while destitute since before Donnie was fake firing people on brain rotting reality TV, solely because the for profit media told them to do so as they counted those gullible idiot's money.
Sabotaging education has made us a nation of suckers.
Agreed, the ability to create a false dichotomy between “the average American” and whoever is “different” based on income, social status, race, sex, etc is what has kept the rich in power for years. Putin capitalized upon this, used social media to stir the pot, and ended our government, as was the plan since at least 1997:

It’s sad how it was predicted around the same time (1995) by Carl Sagan:
I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness
The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance
Part of that celebration of ignorance is what got us here. People less willing to learn about space, math, physics, biology, ethics, or philosophy; and more willing to watch steroid-pumped dudes on joe Rogan, moving their mentality from thinking wrestling is real to thinking the hosts on the latter have any credibility.

Let? What, is he going to say it’s against the law? Who gives a shit what a felon thinks about rules and who can and can’t do what.
He's in charge of the most advsnced military that has ever existed.
If an economic powerhouse state like tx ca leaves, they'll be given surrender terms by the fed and systematically destroyed until the terms are met.

They should ban the orange dye he uses and let him look pale and sick, this poor sleepy Don.
Even with the dye and makeup he looks like diarrhea in an orange garbage bag.

Agreed, which is why we don't have as many nazis in Germany anymore.
I like the sentiment but let's not start denying history.
There were about 100 Nazis in the German government after WW2, it went on for decades.

It's a common problem for political reform. Because of gatekeeping, the people with the skillset and capital needed to run things tend to be aligned with the same ideology you're trying to get rid of.

This is why we have universities for polisci, outside the south where reading is considered effeminate and the only books that matter are the new and old testaments.
They followed the words of the imperium: An open mind is like a fortress, unbarred and unguarded.
