  Trump does nothing but posture. he’s a blowhard and most everything he does is fake and false and poorly executed.

  Stephen Miller and Pete Hegseth on the other hand…

  Nothing gets better and it haven’t been getting better for a long time. I’ve watching every warning about the rise of fascism get ignored since Bush II and everything bad that could be happening, is happening.

  Did you know a company that builds crematoriums were on the showroom floor at the Border Security Expo this year? Keep an eye on Matthews Environmental Solutions.

    Personally I think people want fascism, especially the extreme left and right. Even if they say they don’t, they tacit cheer it on because they feel like it will give them the morally black and white world they so desperately crave.

    I don’t see anyone really promoting the old democratic values of the free world much anymore, and often if they do they get labeled a conservative.

      Personally, I think you’re just trying to be an edgelord centrist. Maybe go outside more often.

  I didn’t say I thought he would take over Canada. I said I’m annoyed that my grandmother thinks it’s funny to tell me he will and that I’m stressed by people willingly travellings to the states where I believe they could be in danger as non-americans visiting the states

      I’m not suggesting the government do anything. I’m suggesting Canadians stop traveling to the Untied States

        I mean yeah that first point is fine. and totally true, they have and more power to them.

        your second however… do you realize that like the vermont national guard could take over your country? The canadian military is decades out of date in terms of equipment and training. I agree with you though that your government desperately needs to upgrade and increase it’s military spending, especially as it’s likely Russian will try to steal your arctic claims in the next 20-30 years.
