When will America realize that this is not a joke. They'll be laughing right up to the goosestepping.

Anyone who thinks warmongering, fascism, and terrorism are unAmerican has not read much American history. The U.S.A was founded on genocide, grown on slavery, and has oligarchy baked in to their constitution. Hitler studied the way the U.S. treated indigenous and black people to form his genocide plans, and Israel has built on both the U.S. and Nazi examples for their treatment of Palestine.
The beat goes on.
They also have a history of not giving a fuck and finding excuses to get things done even if it’s bending the rules. When European countries were paying tribute to the Barbary pirates, the US didn’t have a declaration of war but they sent naval boats over essentially with the instructions “don’t start it”. They didn’t start it, and it wasn’t over super quickly, but they did finish it.

Dear Canada:
Issue a warrant for Miller and his fascist wife and abduct them in the middle of the night.
Apparently we will just go with it now.
This would be exactly how Canada becomes the 51st state.

Please forgive my hard edged tone, it was too much and I own it. Let’s put politics aside. I know we’re talking about a hypothetical, but regardless, what you’re saying sounds like despair. Please don’t make a permanent decision based on the unknown right now, and reach out to someone if you need to talk.
I get why it feels like “nothing would ever be normal again.” That fear makes sense. But you seem to be saying there are no options, and I don’t think that’s true. People do survive huge disruptions and later rebuild a life that’s meaningful again; sometimes they stay, sometimes they relocate.
You don’t need to be alone with your thoughts on this, and if you feel that way please reach out to someone or call 988 if you just feel like you need to talk.
I am not planning to do anything unless they actually invade. Even then I’ll just hope the first wave of bombings get me. I watched The Walking Dead for years and I’m not interested in being part of a post-apocalyptic dystopia. The things I value most are comfort, safety, and security, and the US stands to take those things away from me. And to think just a few years ago I wanted to move to Los Angeles.

In all seriousness, I hope you don’t proceed. I can totally understand the anger and hate, but you would literally waste your life: they will paint you as a leftist radical and just use your attack as an excuse to arrest whoever protests against ICE, claiming they’re the reason you did what you think about doing.
I’m not fucking attacking anyone, don’t you read? I’m a teacher and they raid schools now. We have active shooter and kidnapper protocols at schools. I’m just preparing to go to work you fucking psycho!

Why do you guys blame your own right wing politicians on the US? You voted them in, right?
Elections in USA are fake dude, we don’t have primaries or anything anymore.

That’s probably the biggest misunderstanding I had on Internet, ever!

Ironically I think joining BRICS would be a great move for the EU right now, both as an immediate out from the dollar based economic order and to pretty much jam soft power crowbar into BRICS itself that might turn it into a more open economic union and not just Chinas (and Russia playing with an unplugged controllers) sphere of influence.
That said I’m probably missing a TON of nuance that makes my take basic and dumb.
Fuck off Russian shit.

See? This is what I was talking about. They are attacking the kids and some of us actually do our jobs trying to defend them.
No school for MPS rest of the week; Apparent ICE presence at Roosevelt High School causes chaotic scene
Minneapolis Public Schools said that out of an abundance of caution, there will be no school on Thursday or Friday due to safety concerns related to the woman who was fatally shot by an ICE agent.

I agree on everything you’ve said.
If I may ask, and forgive my ignorance: Am I wrong about Mexico? Is there any room for mutual support? Or is Canada generally an afterthought in Mexico, or worse, not trusted?
Canada is very far from Mexican consciousness.

Too bad for both of us, I guess.
