Hi, Canadian here. There’s a lot of raised eyebrows up here at the lack of organization or response. YOUR LEADER IS OPENLY THREATENING TO ANNEX MY COUNTRY. I hate to say this but what the fuck, reasonable Americans? Are you really just going to sit there? Get it together.🙄

What you describe is “The Good Germans”…your average folks indoctrinated into Nazi support by bribery and propaganda. They sought for a better life after WWI, choosing to ignore the rise of fascism. This is PRECISELY where the US is now. Time for online pearl clutching is OVER. Time to fight, ppl!

So…it’s “not” ok to let asylum seekers from Palestine fleeing a genocide in..,but it’s ok to let white ppl in from the US? That seems a bit racist.

Babs Westerholm @djbabsto.bsky.social · 23/01/2025
Yikes fucking indeed. This should be viewed as an act of aggression. I assume we will deploy our own military to keep an eye on this…but I also hope that the US generals will keep this garbage administration in check, just like they had to last time…

Where is footage of the counter protests that should be happening today? Is it being suppressed by the media or have the American people just given up on salvaging Democracy at this point?

It’s true, my friends list very much was made up of those with…you know…good values. That being said I often waded into comment sections…at first in an attempt to win hearts and minds with logic. When that failed I just got angry and started using morons and bigots as punching bags.
