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

We know it’s not a joke. The three most populated cities in the US are in deep blue states and full of people who don’t want this. For everyone in those cities, it would take days and hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, to travel to the White House. Most of us are behind on rent, have had our cars repossessed, don’t make a living wage, don’t have healthcare, and have unsustainable credit card debt.
Outside of a very vocal minority, the American people are overwhelmingly united around the fact that we don’t want this to happen.
However, the American people aren’t in control of the American government, and the American government are overwhelmingly united around corporate interests.

There was, we call it Pinkerton, among others. At least now you can organize out in the open.
No, you can’t. The US is so anti-union that there is a real risk of you getting reported to your boss for mentioning unionizing to your coworkers. They can’t openly fire you for trying to unionize, but most of the US is “at will employment,” which means that they can fire you at any time and don’t need to say why.
This is a real sign

Canadians: Greenland must be the line in the sand. Non negotiable.
Hey there. I dunno if this is the best place to ask, or post, but I have to start somewhere. First, I feel that I can no longer use Reddit. It’s a Seppo (that’s Aussie rhyming slang, in case you don’t know, that I just find particularly suitable to refer to the asshats who live south of us: “septic tank”) site. I am getting on in years – almost 62 – so I probably am not going to become a guerrilla fighter out on the field, but I am looking for people who may be starting to form groups to fight against any possible invasion. I could provide a safe house (safe suite, more like), store ingredients, or materiel, what have you. It may sound, odd, what I am asking about, but the US is now a failed state run by an immoral, bent group of fascists (led by Stephen Miller: Trump is merely a puppet, simply too stupid and demented to formulate any ideas on his own). The citizens of the former US are too weak and dim, as a populace, to realise that, but that is what it is.
On another note, anyone who supports the cons and Skippy is a traitor and cannot be trusted. I am in Edmonton, by the way, so any rebel groups forming in this region would be what I am looking for, at the moment. I am planning to leave, in the next 18 months, as the Quislings who reside in Alberta are too numerous to deal with. Any true Canadian should really be thinking about and preparing for the worst. Remember history: people started fleeing Austria when Hitler came into power next door. Not sure I have that finances to do that, so best to get ready for invasion.
Oh, as an aside, but a relevant one, yes, I do reside in Alberta, but I have lived in two other countries, have become a naturalised Dutchmen (I have dual citizenship), have travelled the world, and, politically, would describe myself as an anarcho-communist. So, not all of the people who have the misfortune of currently residing in this dubious province are cons.

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.
