Closing borders and America first is just straight up fascism. He's not stopping wars, he's preparing to invade Panama. He's arresting protestors for their speech. He's hurting the middle class and enriching billionaires.
It's not like we can do anything about it, why does where we look matter?
We *haven't* done anything about it *exactly* because we think we are powerless. This plays right into the hands of strongmen, who need docile populations to be discouraged from taking action
if merely speaking out against it elicits such a passive and defeatist response from you, I don't suppose you'd have the heart to ever actually protest it.
Donald Trump is not an isolated phenomenon, unlike Putin he's ideologically supported by a broad base of opportunists. We must expand our focus beyond just Trump himself and recognize the network of enablers and manipulators around him.
If we continue to fixate on Trump as an individual, we miss the larger authoritarian movement rising around him.
saying "we can't do anything about it" is the type of passivity that lets authoriatarianism thrive. the first step is to understand who really is pulling strings. if not then you will eternally react to the figurehead instead of dismantling the machine
past a certain point we must quit hyper-focusing on donald, and look at the people around him. Only a strategic mind can exploit his inherent narcissism to direct it toward their geopolitical goals. vladimir vladimirovich is doing a good job, but so are J.D. and his cronies. I believe J.D. is the real president in some ways, triggering trump when needed to advance his own strategy and that of the republican fashists
since when is closing the border, stopping wars, less taxes, free speech, medical freedom, helping the middle class, and American first fascism?
Lets see the modern day Democrats are for, censorship, medical tyranny, wars for profit, government controlled media, lawfare against their political rivals, Basically the definition of fascism.
What we have with Trump is a centrist populist movement of both moderate Democrats joining the Republicans fighting against the Marxist far Left Democrats.
BTW, Trump and Elon are middle Democrats so is Kennedy, Look it up.
This is not even worth a reply, it is so dishonest I don't think we can have a discussion

Indeed, plus it is not merely an U.S.A. incident, it impacts us all. He is having the government dismantled by his evil right-hand man Elon, who will afterwards be dealt with by J.D. in a true machiavellian sense. J.D. or maybe even Donald will proclaim to have "saved" the people from Elon, once he has gone too far and lost favour, but will profit from his deregulation
meanwhile the ambitions will focus on imperialism and asia-pacific while russia will invade more parts of europe.
in U.S.A.: elon is doing the dirty work so that his allies may publicly behead him later and proclaim themselves saviours of the people
in EU: vladimir will attempt a war to reconquer parts of the old USSR
in ASEA: USA will go head to head with china, in what may be a middle-long protracted lukewarm war
When i first heard about this, I thought it was a joke, but it looks more and more like it's serious.
So what's the deal? Is USA going to take over Canada and Greenland?
I think they might try, tbh.
Hegseth was just in some kind of secret meeting at the Pentagon, and Musk is flipping out about 'leaks.'
The threats were actually as follows: the US will remove all 1.8million Palestinians from Gaza, clean it up and turn it into some tacky shiny hotel and casino wannabe Las Vegas strip with bearded belly dancers and gold statues of Donald Pumpkinhead all around.
tRumpspeak to reality: Netanyahu was granted permission to continue his genocide without shame or fear of punishment.
Something about Panama. But they kissed the ring and sucked orange dick. So now the US has commandeered a very nasty jungle prison, where they're dumping their ICE victims, including a Muslim teacher. The US were trying to push them to stop making Americans pay tolls last I checked. They had also sent one of their mercenary companies to buy up the land to the North and South of the Canal. Blackrock was it?
Pumpkinhead does not want to tangle with the rest of NATO just yet. So IF he goes after Greenland, he'll do it Ruzzian style. After a lengthy ground softening campaign in the form of an information war and some meddling in local politics.
He plans to utterly betray Ukraine, and lie about it the entire time. I suspect he won't finish his term because the bullet in Butler PA got close enough to addle him, even though the guy behind him was the one who died for it. Not sure about the clown car full of Batman villains he's trusted with the keys to the Kingdom. I looked up most of them, and even if the entire Presidential line of succession plummets down in a Curtain Diaper Duffy no-FAA ball of flaming metal, I mean ALL of them down to cosplay Kristi Noem, America is probably still fucked. Yes this Administration is THAT corrupt. So even if Orange Mussolini dies this year or next, we're still stuck with couch humping Vance. And he did that embarrassing thing in the Oval Office where he and MTG's boyfriend were squawking about President Zelensky 's clothing choices like some teenage twits in a Lindsay Lohan movie. So sad but true.
Ukraine can still count on the EU and Commonwealth nations to help their war effort for a time. I just hope it's long enough. 😟 I hope they can hold off the 0rcs until the Dems can fix the mess on this side of the pond.
Then there's China. And they are ready to rock. Xi said so. Any kind of war. So if the Pentagon is in talks, it might actually happen.
And then Canada, if they are able to take China and Taiwan.
Yes there are a lot of contingencies, but they want it and they mean it. Steve Bannon spoke to the Toronto Sun recently, and outlined his entire Nazi Technocrat plan for us. (Yes I studied that stuff in poli sci and philosophy classes. The technocracy is really a thing 😒)
Wanting it and having the wherewithal to actually do it are 2 different things, mind you. I believe that all of the constant stupid PD squabbles, the compulsion for doing sick things to children, the paaranoia, rudeness and inability to focus on goals and work together to earn them, and a number of other things that killed this forum will also kill Pumpkinhead 's Administration.
In a nutshell, narcissists and sociopaths just can't stay sober or play nice together. So they'll try to take over Canada. They might even win the war. But they sure as sh!t won't survive the occupation 😈

Are you another delusional Marxist that can't cope with reality?
Come on Canadians, get with it. Vote to be part of the free USA!
Be part of the Republic!
The land of Trump! and free speech, and guns. WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO
Land of the pants shitting, dementia addled President, elected by racists?
Land of shouting down people you just want to troll because you think it's funny when they get annoyed with you (at least until they hit you, then you cry to moderators and cops like big babies.)
Canadians have just as many guns per capita as Americans. We just don't run our mouths off about them. And we treat them like cooking tools (which is exactly what they are.) They're not extensions of our penises.

The dementia president is gone Not our proudest moment I agree. Just think about it, Canada would be free from the Crown. And there would be an open border between Canada and USA. I really don't see a down side to Canada joining the USA.
